Will they try to win tonight? You never know. Frazier is out. Once again Hurdle rewards a player who's hitting well by allowing him to sit on the bench.

Bell with a 3-run shot.



He looks so much more comfortable at the plate compared to early this year.

josh Bell with a 3 run HR!



4-0



David Freese was on 1st due to pure hustle, beating out an infield hit. Guy’s a winner.

Nice interview by Greg and Rock with Barry Bonds.

Trevor Williams is unbelievable lately.

There’s no way Trevor Williams does this yesterday!

Thank goodness the Pirates gave Williams an extra day of rest. Genius move, which I support 100% !!!

I like when we win. It's better.

Solid win tonight and bounce back from last night. As I pointed out last night a win tonight guaranteed the Pirates pick up 1 full game and would be 4 games out and that is exactly what happened tonight. The DBacks and Dodgers both lose tonight as well so the Pirates are 3 back of both of them, and a 1.5 behind both the Cards and Rockies. So this will set up yet another big Sunday afternoon game with an opportuinity to cut the wildcard lead down to 3 games with a win and a Brewers win over the Braves. Kela threw 9 pitches and Vazquez threw 11 pitches so both of them should definitely be available tomorrow along with Crick,Santana, and Rodriguez. So let’s get this one tomorrow and make this a 5-2 trip heading into Minnesota with both Jamo and Archer on the mound in those games.
