PITTSBURGH -- For a second straight night, the Buccos offense caught up with the team's other two, stellar aspects. If this has been a glimpse of an extended look, the rest of the National League Central may soon be trying to catch up to the Pirates.
The Pirates have excelled on the mound and with the gloves all season, and now the bats have fallen in line, with Starling Marte sounding reveille.
"Baseball. This is a hard game," the Pittsburgh left fielder said after again having made it look quite easy, driving in the last five runs of the Bucs' 6-2 triumph over Milwaukee.
