Series Victory (2-3)

Well, it was a good day. The Pirates have a winning streak. Brad Lincoln had a quality start, but got a no decision. Alvarez had an RBI, the game winning RBI for a second straight game. Tabata had a hit and a run, McCutchen had an RBI and caused general havok, Jones extended his hitting streak and got more RBIs, and Walker played another good game. Dotel got his second save and Donnelly may have gotten past his recent troubles.

JR got ejected, which is rare, but it was still an emotionless ejection. It was more an ejection because he just stood around on the field. Still the Pirates responded.

The speed of the Pirates killed again as two first inning runs were all about the team speed. The Indians pitcher is a ground ball guy, and the Pirates got infield hit and an error and then Jones's ground ball got into the outfield and runners were scoring.

It will be interesting to see if the Pirates can keep it up.
