Recap: Status Quo. BUCS LOSE.

Pirates 4, Brewers 6

This was the kind of game I pretty much expected to happen after the dramatic win on Monday night, but I also can't say that it sucked any less by knowing it. Prince Fatass made the pitching staff his bitch all night. Can't wait until he's irrelevant to the Bucs on some AL team. As for the Pirates' offense, Neil Walker led the way with 2 doubles; Alex Presley also went 2 for 4. Ross Ohlendorf, it's been real, but have fun on some other team like the Royals.

Recap: Lengthy Late First. BUCS WIN.

Pirates 9, Brewers 8
I didn't get a chance to watch the end of this game as it ran rather long, but what I did see was the Buccos answering back every time the Brewers tried to mount a comeback and as a result they picked up their first win in the House of Horrors for the season. Alex Presley was the MVP, going 3 for 5 with 3 RBI, a double, and a solo home run. Xavier Paul also had a triple. Charlie Morton's stuff wasn't exactly Electric, but the offense carried the team in this one and he ended up with a no decision. Daniel McCutchen got the Win, while Joel Hanrahan picked up his 40th save of the year.

Recap: 90 Feet. BUCS LOSE.

This one was almost a one-hit wonder until Alex Presley hit a 1-out triple in the top of the 9th, but neither Neil Walker (grounder to 1st) nor Andrew McCutchen (strikeout) could bring him home.

Recap: Boomerang. BUCS LOSE.

Jeff Locke lasted just 3 innings, but what really sunk the Pirates was Daniel McCutchen's 3 ER in just 1.1 IP. Alex Presley hit a solo homer, and Neil Walker went 2 for 4 with a double.
