THE BULLPEN

     Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat and a brand-new pair of shoes! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series in San Diego tonight against the Padres. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates could not find the win column last night as they lost on a 2-out, grand slam in the bottom of the 9th, 6-2. Get back in the win column & raise the Jolly Roger tonight! 2)RH Charlie Morton, 1-0, 2.57 ERA makes his 2nd start for the Pirates. He'll face Padres RH Tyson Ross, 2-4, 3.84 ERA. In Morton's season debut, a 4-2 win over Miami on Monday, he gave up 2 runs on 8 hits while walking 0. He also recorded 18 ground ball outs. Grind 'em up, Ground Chuck! 3)During the Pirates winning streak, they averaged 6.6 runs per game. Last night they only managed 2 runs on Pedro's 2-run single in the 3rd. What does this tell us? Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
