THE BULLPEN

Bucco fever, catch it! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their HUGE series with the St Louie Cardinals tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates have dropped 2 straight, including last night's opener, 3-2. The Bucs grounded into 3 double plays, left 5 men on base, and were a lowly 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position. You can't leave Bucs on the pond. You have to take advantage of opportunities, especially against this team. Take Care of Business. Score early, score often, score BIG! 2)St Louie starts RH Lance Lynn, 14-8, 2.78 ERA. Lynn has won 3 in a row. Don't give him #4. Hit, Run & Score! 3)All aboard the Cole Train as the Pirates start RH Gerrit Cole, 7-4, 3.69 ERA. In his 2 outings vs. St Louie this season, Cole has given up just 3 runs in 14 innings. Get the Pirates on the right track and back in the win column! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
