Kevin Correia was the winner and became the majors first eight game winner (8-4).
The series concludes today at 1.
Pirate Hooks
1) Lots of swinging bunts,bloopers and balls placed in the right spot paced the comeback.
You don't want to count on these type of wins,but you take them where you can.
2) Andrew McCutchen's sliding catch not only ended a Met threat,but the play was the defensive play of the year for the Pirates to this point.
McCutchen did get lucky that he didnt get his spike caught in the wall though.
That could have meant broken ankle and season over.
3) Another win and solid six innings from Kevin Correia.
Correia has proven me wrong thus far on his signing,although I think the run support will even out over the course of the season.
4) I liked Neil Walker bunt to kick the rally into gear.
It wasn't a messed up sac bunt either,Walker took advantage of a deep third baseman and whether he did it or it was called from the coaching staff,it was a great call...
Few hooks today as I need some sleep,still hoping to get the Thrashers to Winnipeg post up when I can...
