After winning 8-2 on Friday night the Pirates seemed to have come back to reality scoring only one run in their second game in Milwaukee. The Pirates today had just five hits one of them being a solo home-run hit by Garret Jones to start the fourth inning and tie the game at 1. The sixth inning looked promising for the Pirates when Jose Tabata and Garret Jones hit back to back singles, but the Pirates proceeded to go one two three after that, failing to even more a runner up.
On the Pitching side of the game Erik Bedard did not have his best stuff to say the least going only 3 and 2/3 on 5 runs all of them being earned. One nice thing that did come out of this game was the bullpen. The bullpen has done everything they can do every game to put the team in a position to win and they did the same thing tonight. Cris Resop entered the game in the fourth to replace Bedard and he went 2 and 1/3 scoreless. Hughes and Slaten also added scoreless frames. Only using four pitchers when your starter can't even go four full is a solid thing to see, and will put the team in good position to get a win tomorrow, the rubber match of the series.
