THE BULLPEN

Hit the ball and touch 'em all! Your Pittsburgh Pirates look to get back in the win column tonight and remove the Milwaukee Monkey off their backs at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates 6-4 victory on May 1 over Milwaukee is their only win in the last 11 matchups. We're due for #2! 2)Kyle Lohse is on the hill for Milwaukee tonight. He is 1-4 with a 3.53 ERA. Milwaukee has scored one run or less in 5 of Lohse's 7 starts this season. Mix in a little Hit, Run, & Score and that's a recipe for victory! 3)Milwaukee stole 6 bags en route to a 5-1 win last night. Thou shalt not steal tonight! But seriously, folks, if you want to be considered a contender you have to beat the bad teams and the teams in your division. Milwaukee is both. Beat 'em like rented mules! Happy Bucs & Pucks Day! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
