THE BULLPEN

One, two, three strikes, you're out! Your Pittsburgh Pirates take their show on the road to Miami, FLA tonight as they face the Marlins in the first of a three game set. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)Miami will start RH Nathan Eovaldi, 4-2, 3.27 ERA. The kid is a three year veteran with a career mark of 13-23, 3.70 ERA. Typically, pitchers with these types of numbers baffle the Buccos' bats. Score early, score often, score BIG! 2)The Pirates will counter with LH Jeff Locke, 0-1, 5.11 ERA. On Sunday, Locke allowed only 1 run in 7 innings in a 1-0 loss to Milwaukee. That run came via a ground-rule double that was called due to fan interference. Locke didn't deserve such a fate. Locke and load! 3)CF Andrew McCutchen continues to tear up the league. During and 8-game hitting streak he is 18 for 30 with 5 homers & 12 RBIs with 5 consecutive multi-hit games. Cutch continues to come through in the clutch! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
