THE BULLPEN

     One, two, three strikes, you're out! Your Pittsburgh Pirates open a 3-game series tonight on the North Shore as they face the NL West-leading Los Angeles Codgers at PNC Park. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)This is a battle of pitching heavyweights as LA starts Cy Young-winning LH Clayton Hershaw, 9-6, 2.37 ERA. The Bucs will counter with RH Gerrit Cole, 14-5, 2.29 ERA. Cole's resume isn't so bad either as he currently leads the Majors in wins. Say sayonara to Cy Young, the Cole Train is rolling to a win! 2)Wow! Would you just look at those ERAs. They're lower than a snake's belly. Runs will be all-the-more crucial in this matchup. Better make sure you Hit, Run, & Score! 3)Defense will be vital to a win in this game, too. You don't want to make a critical fielding error and have it cost you the game. All you need is glove! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
