Even if the Pirates' superb pitching begins to sputter -- and it surely didn't through the 5-4 victory Thursday night in Cincinnati -- they have no shortage of solutions. Yes, even with Jeff Karstens getting reinjured in a rehabilitation start Thursday night. Prospect Rudy Owens, a 24-year-old lefty, is banging down the door at Triple-A Indianapolis with a 4-2 record...

Clint Barmes and Casey McGehee were brought to Pittsburgh to challenge Andrew McCutchen for the Pirates’ lone spot at the All-Star Game, but for some reason their combined .197 batting average has kept them off the ASG votes leaderboard. It’s pretty obvious Barmes and McGehee weren’t happy about the snub so they went out and did something about it last night in Cincinnati...

Every win is enjoyable, but this one really meant a lot for the Pirates. It was a back-and-forth contest on the road with the division leader, and they ended up pulling it off in improbable fashion to win the series (their fourth in a row) and complete a winning road trip. Awesome.
For some reason, all the Pirates wins on this road trip started off pretty poorly. This game was...

That said for how bad the offense has been they haven’t been completely inept at hitting the long ball. I mean tied for 20th is no great shakes but it’s much better than the 28th their SLG ranks.
