THE BULLPEN

     Rounding third and heading for home! Our Pittsburgh Pirates close out the Detroit-portion of this home-and-home series this afternoon when they try to tame the Tigers. These are your keys to today's game. 1)The Pirates plated 7 runs on 17 hits in yesterday's 7-4 win. We want more Hit, Run & Score! 2)The Bucs start RH Juan Nicasio, 1-0, 1.50 ERA. Nicasio looks to duplicate the success he enjoyed in his Pirates debut, going 6 innings and allowing just 2 hits, to St Louie in a 5-1 win. Win one for Juan! 3)The Tigers start RH Anibal Sanchez, 1-0, 3.60 ERA. Sanchez has lost 4 in a row against the Buccos. #5 would not be jive! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
