The Pittsburgh Pirates have four shutouts in their opening homestand which began a week ago today. Tonight's 8-0 win handed the Florida Marlins their second loss of the season. Ross Ohlendorf worked 7 innings and gave up only 2 hits. The Pirates relief core of Yates and Chavez was perfect.
The Bucco offense was an all around effort. Of the starters, only the pitcher's spot didn't collect at least one hit. Nate McLouth put the game in the booty bag in the 6th with a 3-run homer that reached the Allegheny River.
The Pirates and Nyjer Morgan continue to impress with their baserunning.
Give new pitching coach, Joe Kerrigan, the credit for the starters' performance so far this season. The Pittsburgh starters are pitching inside and pounding the strike zone.
The Pirates have two more games against the Marlins to finish out the homestand.
