Another very frustrating game to watch.  Ross Ohlendorf was perfect through 3 innings, and then fell apart, giving up 2 homers and 4 runs.  Despite getting hits from all but 2 Pirates (Tabata, who reached on a Fielder's Choice in the 9th, and McCutchen, who went 0 for 4), the Pirates were yet again unable to bring home more than 3 runners.  Garrett Jones went 2 for 4 with an RBI, extending his hitting streak to an NL-best 12 games.  Bobby Crosby is on a ridiculous hitting tear, garnering 3 hits for the second time in as many games and an RBI in each.  No reason to switch him out for Cedeno at short at this point, as his defense is comparable to Cedeno's.  Pedro got his second MLB hit, a soft single to RF.  The bullpen came back down to Earth again, with only 1 K, 2 ER, 1 HR, and 4 walks.  Hopefully the Pirates can get back on track tonight with an easier pitcher on the Rangers' side and Paul Maholm, the Bucs' most consistent starter, on the mound.
