One Series, one series win

The Pirates started off the 2010 season on the right note. They faced the mighty LA Dodgers, and they have now won the series after winning the first game in a blow out and the second game in extra innings. Garrett Jones hit two homeruns in the opener on Monday, and hit another one in the game on Wed. What is better for the Pirates is that two of those three homeruns were with runners on, something he was not so good at doing last year. McCutchen had multiple hits on Wed to raise his average, and one hit in the opener that sparked a two out three run rally that ended with Doumit getting a homerun. Ryan Church even got a pinch hit that scored three in the opener to blow the game wide open. Duke and Ohlendorf both looked solid and the bullpen was excellent tonight. What more could the Pirates ask for?
