PITTSBURGH -- Major League Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline came and went Monday with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds failing to make any blockbuster moves.
So those clubs, who were off Monday, will pick up pretty much where they left off when they open a three-game series Tuesday at PNC Park.
Pittsburgh (51-54) is coming off a 7-1 win Sunday at San Diego that wasn't enough to keep its road trip from being a miserable experience. The Pirates went 3-6 on the trek.
Before that trip, it looked as if the Pirates might be making something of a move in the who-wants-it National League Central.
