Another quality start by the starting pitching staff. I think that I can get kind of used to this starting pitching. An 8 – 3 victory over Peavy and the Padres sure makes the weekend go down a lot easier. Strong starting pitching by Olendorf, another good day at the plate by Adam LaRoche (2 HRs) and even Robinson Diaz got into the act with a two RBI single to tie the game up.
The Pirates are now 11 – 7 and that’s pretty amazing when you consider that 1/3 of the starting line up was out for this series. With Domout and Wilson on the DL and McLouth out you don’t expect the offense to put out 21 runs, but that is what they did.
Now the Bucs move on to Milwaukee to play the Brewers. Another 2 out of 3 would be nice.
