THE BULLPEN

Put me in, coach! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series in St. Louie tonight against the Cardinals. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)Following last night's 5-4 defeat, the Pirates have lost 2 straight. Will they make it 3 in a row? I say No, No, No! 2)The Cardinals will send RH Lance Lynn, 9-6, 3.17 ERA, to the mound. In Lynn's last 4 start versus the Pirates he's 0-3 with a 9.15 ERA. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)The Pirates are expected to start RH Brandon Cumpton, 3-2, 4.61 ERA, in place of injured Gerrit Cole. Cumpton is 3-0 with a 3.97 ERA in his last 5 starts. Put the Jolly Roger on the side of a milk carton because the Pirates haven't seen it lately. Break out the Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
