Top Eight

The Pirates lead the Reds 6-2 at Ed Smith Stadium, powered by a three-run sixth inning.
A pair of new Pirates sparked the rally. Eric Hinske doubled in Ryan Doumit, and Ramon Vazquez, back from the World Baseball Classic, hit a two-run home run.
Paul Maholm was, well, Paul Maholm, throwing six shutout innings. The Reds' finally dented the scoreboard when Jay Bruce homered off Matt Capps.
The Pirates a six outs away from victory!
Aaaaaaaaargh you ready?

(First time I've done that all spring. Can't believed I held out this long.)

6-2 Buccos, top of the eighth.
