THE BULLPEN

     Root, root, root for the home team! Your Pittsburgh Pirates open a 3-game series tonight against their cross-state rivals, the Philly Sillies, at PNC Park. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Former Bucco RH Kevin Correia makes his season debut for Philly. He'll face Pirates LH Jeff Locke, 3-3, 5.37 ERA. Locke is struggling to stay in the rotation. He needs to throw first-pitch strikes and don't give up the free pass, it will always bite you in the a$$. Locke and load! 2)For his career, Locke is 4-0 vs Philly. Win #5 would not be jive! 3)The Pirates managed just 1 win in their 3-game set with lowly Milwaukee and could only muster a measly 3 runs the entire series. Beat Philly silly with some Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
