THE BULLPEN

     Root, root, root for the home team! Your Pittsburgh Pirates close out their turnpike series with the Cleveland Indians this afternoon at PNC Park. These are your keys for today's game. 1)Following yesterday's 1-0 win over Cleveland, it's time for some home cookin'. Cook up some Black-N-Gold Meatloaf. 2 outta 3 ain't bad! 2)The Tribe trots out RH Danny Salazar, 7-3, 3.80 ERA. The Pirates counter with RH Gerrit Cole, 11-3, 2.20 ERA. Cole tries again to be the Majors first 12-game winner. Hop aboard the Cole Train for a win! 3)After collecting 49 hits in their sweep of Detroit, the Pirates have only managed 9 hits in their first 2 games of this series. Mrs. Black-N-Gold can't say much more. Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
