THE BULLPEN

Rounding third and headed for home! Your Pittsburgh Pirates begin a 3-game series tonight at PNC Park against the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)Former #1 overall pick Gerrit Cole makes his MLB-debut tonight against the champs. No pressure there. Go out and show San Fran why you were the #1 pick, Gerrit! 2)The Pirates pitching staff is third in the majors with a 3.24 ERA. Go to hold 'em, Bucs! 3)San Fran starter, RH Tim Lincecum, who is 4-5 with a 4.75 ERA is no longer putting up Freakish numbers. He's surrendered 4 or more runs in 7 of his 12 starts this season. Hit him early, him him often, hit him HARD with lots of Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
