These are your keys to today's game. 1)Pirates LF Starling Marte has been on a tear, lately. He is hitting .373 with 9 extra base-hits during a 10-game hitting streak. Marte Partay! 2)The Scrubs start RH Edwin Jackson, 4-10 with a 5.75 ERA. The Pirates send RH Charlie Morton, 1-1, 2.50 ERA to the mound. The Pirates pitching staff has the lowest ERA in the Majors at 3.14. Line 'em up, and knock 'em down! 3)The Bucs are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have won 12 of their last 14.
