THE BULLPEN

     Root, root, root for the home team! Your Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series with Cincy tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Following last night's 5-2 defeat, the Pirates look to make some home-cooked Meatloaf tonight 'cause 2 outta 3 ain't bad. Love that home cookin'! 2)A win for Cincy would give them their first road series win since May 5-7. Their opponent in that series? Your Pittsburgh Pirates. Right the ship and raise the Jolly Roger! 3)Cincy starts RH Anthony DeSclafani, 5-5, 3.48 ERA. The Pirates counter with RH AJ Burnett, 6-3, 2.05 ERA. After winning 8 straight, the Bucs have now dropped 4 of their last 5, averaging a paltry 2.4 runs per game. Break out of this slump. Break out the Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
