Another great road start for Kevin Correia. Now he just needs to get better at home. Great signing by Huntington. Can't remember the last time I've said that about a starting pitcher the Pirates picked up in free agency.

Homers for GFJ and Cutch. Jones also went 2 for 4. Ronny Cedeno of all people had a triple. No idea if he gets the nod at SS tomorrow. Pirates are just under halfway to their total road wins from last year already this season. Bring it.

Almost forgot the outstanding work by the Pirates bullpen, especially Resop. That guy has ASG written all over him if he keeps this up. Joel Hanrahan is second in the NL in saves. Must be Slipknot Power.
