Bucs Skipper Clint Hurdle knew after last night's "L" things had a really good chance to get back to the Winner's Circle on Friday Night at PNC as 'Burgh Hardball did just that. Behind seven solid frames from Pirates Ace Garrit Cole allowing just two runs on seven hits the Bucs ties their four-piece with the Redbirds at 1-1.
The Bucs got on the board in the bottom half of the 1st on a Jordy Mercer RBI Double scoring Neil Walker making it 1-0 'Burgh Hardball. Redbirds hot corner Matt Carpenter who can rake with anyone put the Cards up 2-1 in the 3rd with a two-run blast off Cole as that would be the only mistake Cole would make all game long.
In the bottom half of the 3rd the Bucs came right back as Jung Ho Kang and "El Toro" Pedro Alvarez both hit RBI singles off Redbirds starter Lance Lynn making it 3-2 Pirates. Then in the 4th it was Neil Walker taking Lynn deep for a two-run blast for 5-2 Bucs lead and that would hold up as your final as both Pens do work the rest of the way.
Lynn is charged with five runs on nine hits as he falls to 6-5. Cole moves to 13-3 as the Bucs move to 51-35 while the Cards fall to 56-31...
