- The Pirates got their third straight win in front of a big crowd yesterday. It was a team win if there ever was one, but Pedro Alvarez was a big time contributor by drawing two walks and coming up with a huge two run single. Kevin Correia made a pretty strong start and the bullpen was solid as always in closing it out. Full recap here
- Jose Tabata was 1/4 with a double in his AAA debut.
- Alex Presley's status is uncertain, but there's a chance he could be headed to the DL after suffering "concussion like symptoms" after Tuesday's game.
- I have audio from Greg Brown's great calls from Tuesday's thriller. Here's Garrett Jones' homer and here's the call on the walk off. Guaranteed to give you chills.
- The Reds lost to the Dodgers late last night and the Pirates have a one game lead in the National League Central. This is the first time they've had a whole game lead in the Central this late in the season since 1997.
- The Pirates will look to get their first four game sweep since 2006 as they take on the Astros one more time tonight at 7:05. Jeff Karstens is taking on Bud Norris.
