THE BULLPEN

I don't care if I ever get back! Your Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their 3-game set with the Miami Marlins tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)With last night's 7-3 victory, the Pirates can take the series with another win tonight. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! 2)The Fish will send LH Brian Flynn, 0-0, 6.00 ERA to the hill. It will be Flynn's first start of the season. The Pirates typically have troubles hitting lefties. They hope to turn their luck around in support of RH Edinson Volquez, 8-7, 3.91 ERA. Eddy has been steady against Miami. In 6 career starts he is 5-0 with a 1.95 ERA. Sink the Fish! 3)Pirates CF Andrew McCutchen missed another game last night as did 2B Neil Walker and 3B Pedro Alvarez. Cutch is day-to-day. Walker is expected back in the lineup tonight. Pedro is still on bereavement. Meanwhile, UT Josh Harrison has continued to step up in a big way. JHay is riding a 10-game hitting streak with a .455 BA & 12 extra-base hits. He went 3 for 4 last night and is 9 for 17 versus Miami this season. Whaddaya say we help JHay? Break out the Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
