The Pirates won this one in an unusual fashion tonight and what I mean by this is that they actually scored an amount of runs that you would expect a major league team to score every once in a while. The Pirates won this game by a final of 8-2 Correia went a total of 5 2/3 on two runs and had two strikeouts. This is about what you would come to expect by watching Correia pitch this year.
Although 8-2 sounds great this game did not start out this way for the Pirates. Former Pirate and current Brewer center-fielder Nyjer Morgan AKA Tony Plush started this one off with a solo homer in the top of the first inning to give the Brewers a 1-0 lead. This game turned around in the third inning when the Pirates added 6 runs. Both Josh Harrison and Andrew McCutchen had triples, while Neil Walker, Rod Barajas, and Jose Tabata all added RBI's. The Pirates added 2 more runs in the 6th when Andrew McCutchen doubled home Jose Tabata and Josh Harrison.
Although no reliever other then Cruz went a full inning, Slaten, Hughes, Lincoln, and Watson all had clean performances. Cruz came into the game in the ninth to get a one two three finish.
