Jones Leads Bucs to 6th Straight Win

Garrett Jones went 2 for 3 with a 2-Run HR to lead the Pirates to their 6th straight victory on Wednesday night at PNC Park. "It felt great to bust out of the mini-slump I was in, and to help the team keep winning. We are not used to this feeling, and we are hungry for more" said Jones after the game.

Jones admires his 2-run HR



Jones not only helped with his offense, but he also threw a runner out at 3rd base early in the game.

Andrew McCutchen stole 3 bases on Brewers' cather Greg Zaun and also extended his hitting streak to 13 gms.

Lastings Milledge extended his own hitting streak to 10 games.

The Brewers and Pirates end the 3 game series on Thursday afternoon at 1pm, with the Pirates looking for their second sweep of the season.

Crosby's Pinch Hit HR Lifts Bucs to 9th Win in a Row

Ross Ohlendorf picked up his 4th straight win of the season in beathing the Astors 4-3 on Saturday night. It wasn't a typical Ohlendorf start as he walked 4 batters and had to throw over 100 pitches in just 6 innings, but he got the job done.

Pearce absolutley CRUSHES this HR

Steve Pearce hit a monster HR to left field to tie the game at 3-3 in the 4th. It would stay that way until the 7th when pinch hitter Bobby Crosby was called to the plate. The first pitch that Crosby saw was a hanging curve that he blasted over the centerfield wall. "It felt awesome," Crosby said after the game. "To get the call and hit the 1st pitch you see for a game-winningpinch hit HR, I couldn't have scripted it any better."

Crosby is mobbed in the dugout after hitting his PH HR

The Pirates go for the sweep of the Astros (and their 10th victory in a row) tomorrow afternoon at 1:05pm.
