The talk prior to tonight's game was the move of Aramis Ramirez to first base. The talk after the game, is the performance that Francisco Liriano turned in, en route to his 10th win on the season. Liriano was masterful quite frankly, striking out ten batters, allowing just three hits in six innings pitched. This was the sixth game this season that Liriano finished with double digit strike outs.
The Pirates, not only received a great starting performance from Liriano, but also had the benefit of a strong performance from the bats as well.
