After acquiring Joe Blanton from the Kansas City Royals last night, the Pittsburgh Pirates struck again this evening by acquiring Joakim Soria from the Detroit Tigers. Neal Huntington and co. were looking to continue to upgrade the Pirate bullpen, as Tony Watson has had some rough outings lately, Antonio Bastardo and Arquimedes Caminero have not been pitching well this year, and Deolis Guerra is in his debut season in the majors after being a career minor leaguer.
