THE BULLPEN

     One, two, three strikes, you're out! Your Pittsburgh Pirates take their show on the road to St Louie where they'll battle the Red Birds tonight in an NL Central showdown. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates got back in the win column in Chicago on Wednesday with an 8-1 win. In that victory, every Pirates starter collected at least one hit. Keep the Hit Parade going with more Hit, Run & Score! 2)The Pirates start RH AJ Burnett, 0-1, 1.80 ERA. He will face St Louie RH Lance Lynn, 1-2, 3.63 ERA. As good as AJ pitched the first month of the season, he's still looking for his first win. Get AJ a W! 3)The Pirates finished the month of April with a 12-10 record good for 3rd place in the NL Central at 3.5 games behind division-leading St Louie. This is the first time in recent memory that the Bucs have made it through the first month of the season with a winning record. Now's the time to gain some ground. Make hay while the sun shines! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
