Losing Streak Ends

Lots to love as the Bucs end their six game losing streak in the Rhineland tonight....


  • Pedro Alvarez crushes a three run dinger. He now has a modest three game hitting streak wherein he has gone 4-for-12. I know, I know..I sound like the Pirates announcers grasping at anything in hopes that Alvarez starts to hit, but did you see how he mashed that HR tonight?

  • Andrew McCutchen blasts a two run homer to take the team lead in both HR and RBI.

  • But most of all, Charlie Morton does a dead on imitation of Greg Maddux and throws a CG shutout tonight. He looked absolutely amazing out there tonight. The guy who was quite possibly the worst starting pitcher in baseball last year at this time is now 5-1 with two complete games and a 2.62 ERA.

  1. Bob - It's wonderful to read positive comments on your Pirates on this blog. I know Pirates fans haven't had much to be postive about so it's great to hear it. Meg
