The good news is that the Pittsburgh Pirates have taken the first two games of their four game series with the Atlanta Braves. The bad news is that their bullpen has taken a beating in the process. Despite jumping out to an 8-2 lead on Monday night and a 9-0 lead last night, the Pirates have still needed to use each of their seven relievers at least once in those two victories.
This has partly been due to starters struggling to hold big leads, see Juan Nicasio last night, and partly due to relievers struggling to do the same, see Cory Luebke Monday night and Ryan Vogelsong/Arquimedes Caminero last night.
