The Pirates pulled off yet another comeback victory in front of yet another great crowd on Friday night, opening this weekend’s series in style with a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins.
Kevin Correia turned in a pretty typical outing. He was hit hard early on (two runs in the first, including a Jose Reyes leadoff bomb) and it seemed like he’d be in some serious trouble, but then...

AAA Indianapolis | Indianapolis 5 Gwinnett 4 (10 innings) Eric Fryer hit a pinch-hit walk-off bases-loaded RBI single in the 10th inning to top Gwinnett. Fryer has finally hit a little lately since his brief major-league stint, he's at .500 in a mere 12 July at bats to raise his average to .198, but that looks a lot better than where he was a few weeks ago. Another player who...

The Pirates got another great home start from A.J. Burnett on Saturday, and took advantage of some Miami gifts to win their fourth straight game and go to 13 over .500.
Burnett was not dominant (8 hits and only 3 K’s) but did a wonderful job going 7.2 innings while allowing just one run on a solo homer. A.J. was able to get the outs when he needed them and also gave the bullpen...
