Bucs Lose 1st Game of Season

The Pirates lost their first game of the season to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Bucs had their chances, they just couldn't capitalize fully.

Mgr. clint Hurdle "I was pleased with the way that we played. We just couldn't pull ahead. I was a lot happier with our defensive performance."

When asked about Josh Rodriguez's Pirate debut, Hurdle said, "I know that it is a small sample size, but I think that Josh may have earned the starting SS position for the time being."

The Pirates and Cards play game 2 of 3 tomorrow evening at Busch Stadium.
