Pirates snap losing streak


I wasn't able to watch the Pirates-Indians game last night due to a one hour rain delay.
The Pirates ended their losing streak with a 6-4 win.
Jeff Karstens evened his record at 2-2 with the win and Octavio Dotel finished the game for save number 13.David Huff was the loser for Cleveland (2-9)/
Lastings Milledge had 4 RBI over his four hits,while Cleveland's Russell Branyan launched the games only homer (9).
The series ends today in the rubber match for the thoughtsofrs cup with a battle of prospects with Brad Lincoln (0-1) for Pittsburgh against Cleveland's Justin Masterson (2-6).

Zach Duke will skip his scheduled start this week against Texas as a precautionary measure with a shoulder strain.
Duke is expected to be ready for a next weekend start against the Athletics in Oakland.

The Pirates have signed a few of their draft picks,but the biggest signs thus far were announced yesterday with fifth rounder Tyler Waldron of Oregon State and 12th rounder Vincent Payne of Cyprus Ca JUCO.
Waldron is considered the larger catch.

Back later with a few thoughts on the Devils bringing Jason Arnott back to New Jersey...
