Recap: Karstens Strong, Bats Weak. BUCS LOSE.

The Bucs just didn't have it today. Even with Karstens pitching 7 shutout innings, the bats never awoke and the Buccos were shut out. Still, taking 2 out of 3 from the erstwhile 1st place Snakes, isn't too bad. The Pirates will try for .500 again when the Mets come to town later tonight.
