THE BULLPEN

     One, two, three strikes, you're out! Your Pittsburgh Pirates are back at it again tonight as they battle the Reds in Cincy. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates start RH Gerrit Cole against Cincy RH Mike Leake. Leake is 4-0 with a 2.75 ERA in his last 8 starts versus the Bucs. He hasn't lost to the Pirates since May 5, 2012. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD! 2)The Pirates left 6 runners on base in Monday's 5-2 Opening Day loss. Can't leave those Bucs on the pond, especially when Cincy has Aroldis Chapman to come in and close the door. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)Last season, Cincy owned the Pirates going 12-7 against our Buccos, outscoring them 92-67. The Pirates had a mark of 3-6 at Great American Ballpark. Find the win column with a heavy dose of Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
