The #Pirates have claimed INF/OF Oscar Tejeda off waivers from Boston and have assigned him to Double-A Altoona; LHP Doug Slaten DFA.

It’s pretty amazing that the Pirates have cut ties with two left-handed reliever in two days, but I guess that just shows how much they thought of them. Yesterday, Daniel Moskos was DFA’d to make...

A new catcher didn't affect A.J. Burnett's groove.
Burnett threw 6 2-3 sharp innings to win his eighth straight start, Casey McGehee hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Thursday.
Pedro Alvarez also went deep for Pittsburgh, which split the four-game set in Philadelphia by winning the last two. The surprising Pirates, seeking...

Gerrit Cole had a rough go of it last night in Altoona, and now we see Jameson Taillon struggling a bit in his start on Wednesday afternoon. In five innings, Taillon gave up three runs on two home runs while walking a pair and striking out four. Obviously that's not a horrible line, but you don't like seeing your big time prospects give up home runs. His season ERA is at...

Here is the MLB.com Gameday

Tonight’s win was crazy, but it was a win nonetheless. It felt good to take a game in Philly. James McDonald pitched well; not perfectly, but he got the job done. Brad Lincoln was tonight’s savior out of the bullpen. Michael McKenry continued his offensive tear, going 2-4 with 4 RBIs. Offensively, he has more [...]

Michael McKenry hit a three-run homer and Andrew McCutchen and Casey McGehee also went deep for Pittsburgh.
Utley missed the first 76 games this year because of a chronic problem in both knees...

The bad news is tonight’s game was rough. ”They outplayed us again tonight,” Clint Hurdle said after the game. The Pirates left 17 runners on base, blowing far too many scoring opportunities. Erik Bedard gave up 4 runs, and Juan Cruz gave up 1. The Pirates’ first 2 hitters, Jose Tabata and Neil Walker, were [...]
