  • The Pirates have won three games in a row after a big time win over the Cubs yesterday. [Recap]
  • Juan Cruz has been put on the restricted list as he has to head back to the Dominican for a personal issue. The Pirates have placed Doug Slaten on the 40-man roster and called him up to Pittsburgh to take Cruz's place. The lefty has given up just one run all season in AAA. He's thrown 25.1 innings with an ERA of 0.36, we'll see if he can keep that going in the big leagues.
  • Starling Marte hit a grand slam in his two hit game yesterday. Alex Presley and Jordy Mercer also homered. Here's the full minor league roundup.
  • I did another Pirates count analysis update yesterday - That's here.
  • Pirates will try to continue their winning ways and get to .500 today as they play an afternoon game with the Reds in the heat. James McDonald is on the bump against Bronson Arroyo, first pitch at 1:35.
  • Tim Neverett doesn't seem to have a lot of different home run calls, especially when Pedro Alvarez goes deep. Check out the sound clip below.
