Ross Ohlendorf has been scratched from his scheduled start tonight because of back spasms, so the Pirates have called up
Brian Burres to make the spot start. Burres looked absolutely terrible in spring training, but he was one of our only options with the short notice. Don't expect much tonight, Burres is by no means a big league pitcher. In 2008, Burres made 22 starts for the Orioles and had an ERA of 6.04 with 3.5 BB/9 and only 4.4 K/9. Barry Zito looked masterful in his first start this year, pitching 6 shutout innings while only surrendering 3 hits. It could be a long night...
