THE BULLPEN

     I'm going to Kansas City. Kansas City here I come! You're Pittsburgh Pirates take their show on the road to KC tonight as they begin a 3-game series against the defending AL Champion Royals. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Following yesterday's 6-1 loss the Pirates try to shake off their lost weekend in Milwaukee where they lost 3 straight. We don't want loss #4. Hit, Run & Score! 2)The Buccos bring RH AJ Burnett, 7-3, 2.11 ERA, to the bump. KC starts RH Yordano Ventura, 4-6, 4.73 ERA. KC has a mean bullpen. The Bucs can't afford to get behind early and let KC go to their 'pen. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)KC has the best mark in the AL at 55-35 and are on a 10-2 run. Give them a Royal beating! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
