Mets take aim at .500 in Steel City opener Fri Aug 20 10:59:08 2010 EST
(Sports Network) - The New York Mets can pull back to .500 and beyond beginning tonight, when they open a three-game weekend series against the team with the worst record in the major leagues - the Pittsburgh Pirates - at PNC Park. New York, which fell to fourth in the National League's East Division with a 3-2 Thursday night loss at Houston, is 60-61 overall and 11 games off the pace of the East-leading Atlanta Braves. They also trail the current NL wild-card leaders, the Philadelphia Phillies

Marlins close road trip with finale of four-game set in Pittsburgh Thu Aug 19 11:12:06 2010 EST
(Sports Network) - The Florida Marlins will close out what's been an up-and- down 10-game road trip tonight with the last of four straight meetings with the downtrodden Pittsburgh Pirates from PNC Park. Florida began its three-city tour in fine fashion, sweeping a three-game set from fellow National League East member Washington from August 10-12. The club then proceeded to lose three consecutive matchups with NL Central-leading Cincinnati, as well as Monday's opener of this set, but have since

(Sports Network) - The worst team in the majors will go up against perhaps the National League's best pitcher when the Pittsburgh Pirates continue a four-game series with the Florida Marlins tonight at PNC Park. Pittsburgh has lost eight of its last nine games and fell to a woeful 40-79 on the season after being dealt a 6-0 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday. The Pirates received a double dose of pain from Ricky Nolasco, with the Florida starter twirling six shutout innings and helping his cause wi

n four of those six mound trips. Hammel reached the seven-frame mark once again in Thursday's road start against the New York Mets, but received a loss after allowing four runs on eight hits in a 4-0 verdict. He was able to beat the hapless Pittsburgh Pirates in his previous assignment by tossing six innings of three-run ball back on August 6. The 27-year-old, a double-digit winner for Colorado a year ago, has yet to face the Dodgers this season. Hammel is 0-1 with a very solid 2.25 ERA in five
Pirates continue set with Marlins Tue Aug 17 11:09:45 2010 EST
(Sports Network) - The Florida Marlins have lost four consecutive games, and an ineffective offense has been a big reason for the team's current woes. They'll try once again to break out of that funk in tonight's clash with a Pittsburgh Pirates squad that will be seeking to record back-to-back wins for the first time in three weeks. After going a woeful 0-for-27 with runners in scoring position while being swept in a three-game set at Cincinnati over the weekend, the Marlins failed to come thro
