THE BULLPEN

     There's no crying in baseball! Your Pittsburgh Pirates are on the final leg of their road trip as they begin a 3-game series tonight in Atlanta against the Braves. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates have won 11 of 13 and 3 in a row. Get win #4 with some Hit, Run, & Score! 2)Atlanta has dropped 2 straight. #3 would be great! 3)RH Charlie Morton, 2-0, 1.93 ERA starts for the Pirates. He'll face Atlanta RH Williams Perez, 1-0, 2.66 ERA. Charlie has been getting the ground ball outs that he needs to be effective. In his last outing, a 5-2 win over San Diego, he gave up just 3 hits in 7 innings and retired the final 11 batters he faced. He'll look to continue that trend tonight. Grind 'em up, Ground Chuck! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
