THE BULLPEN

     Play ball! Your Pittsburgh Pirates finish up their series in San Diego tonight against the Padres. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)With last night's 5-2 victory, the Pirates have won 8 of their last 9. More wins would be fine! 2)The Pirates start LH Jeff Locke, 3-2, 4.70 ERA. He'll square off against San Diego RH Odrisamer Despaigne, 2-3, 5.23 ERA. The Bucs lefty looks to extend his scoreless innings streak as he's held opponents without a run for the past 10 2/3 innings. Locke down San Diego! 3)A win tonight would give the Pirates their 3rd straight series. We want more Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
