Pirates win despite another delay

So for the fourth and final time of the series between the Pirates and Braves,I did not get to see the entire game due to a just under an hour rain delay.
What I missed was most of the scoring in a 5-2 Pirate win that salvaged a split of the wild four game set.
Kevin Correia allowed two runs over six and a third innings to improve to 12-8 and Joel Hanrahan clicked up save number thirty on the season.
Andrew McCutchen hit his 15th homer as part of a three RBI day.
The Pirates are in Philadelphia tonight for the first of three games against the Phillies....

Pirate Hooks

1) Andrew McCutchen had been in a mild slump,but an adjustment resulted in a three hit,three RBI night.
One thing about this game from whatever level it is that the game is played-it takes very little to screw up your mechanics in any part of the game and the slightest change can change  or fix things....

2) Kevin Correia had been awful in his first two post All Star starts,but looked a bit fresher Thursday as only one of the two runs,he allowed was earned..
One difference from his last outing is this-1 walk in six plus compared to three in four plus in his previous start.
This sounds elementary,but Correia is not the type of pitcher that can afford being behind in the count,not that many can,but especially pitchers with ordinary stuff....

3) Finally a win against Derek Lowe,who had taken the ball ten times against the Pirates and walked away with ten wins! Nice to break that string!

4) One thing that shows the desperation of the Pirates to get some offense going-Garrett Jones hitting second?
Not great speed,doesn't move many runners over and is not a terrific contact guy-that Jones is in that spot shows the lack of options at this point for Clint Hurdle...
