THE BULLPEN

     You got a beat up glove, a homemade bat and a brand new pair of shoes! Our Pittsburgh Pirates close out their 2-game set with the Seattle Mariners tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates jumped out to a 4-1 lead last night only to fall apart and lose it 7-4. You got to know when to hold 'em! 2)Wasted opportunities led to this loss. The Pirates were a paltry 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position, leaving 9 men on base. You can't leave Bucs on the pond. Bring 'em on home! 3)The Mariners will have LH James Paxton on the mound. The southpaw is 3-4 with a 4.18 ERA. He'll face Pirates RH Gerrit Cole, 5-6, 2.99 ERA. The Cole Train needs to get the Buccos back on the winning track. He'll need some help, for sure. You'd better Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
