Locked in and Cutched out
Jeff Locke delivered another dominant start, and Andrew McCutchen had a role in all three Pirates runs in tonight’s 3-0 win over the Dodgers. What else is there to say about Jeff Locke? He simply shut down the opposing team’s lineup, as he’s done so often this season. He needed just 75 pitches to get…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets – Game 36
A slew of roster moves coming? First things first Francisco Liriano is going to make his debut. To clear his spot the Pirates sent Duke Welker back to AAA. Welker didn’t pitch at all for the Pirates.
