Ryan Doumit is going to be out for awhile. This is devastating.
The Florida Marlins are now 11-2. Let’s see if we can make them 11-3.
Anibal Sanchez @ Jeff Karstens – 7:05 PM
…oh yeah… Go Pens!
Post Game Update:
Wow… I’d have had trouble believing you if you told me that we’d win 2 against the Marlins with Ohlendorf and Karstens on the mound.
- The Marlins couldn’t hit Karstens tonight, as he only gave up 3H, 1R in 6 IP.
- This will be the Pirates’ 2nd consecutive series win. Let’s keep it rolling!
- Jason Jaramillo replaced the injured Ryan Doumit. He contributed with an RBI double.
- Remember Ronny Paulino? He played for the away team tonight.
Why not? Let’s go for the sweep tomorrow! Ricky Nolasco @ Paul Maholm. 12:35 PM
…oh yeah… congrats Pens! 3-1 win puts them up 3-1 on the Flyers. Close ‘em out.
Ryan Doumit sat out Monday’s game against the Florida Marlins after injuring his wrist during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves.
A CT scan revealed a fractured scaphoid bone. He’ll be out 8-10 weeks.
It looks like Jason Jaramillo will take over catching duties. Robinzon Diaz will be called up from AAA.
There shouldn’t be a rain-out today, so we’re finally going to see Jeff Karstens take the mound.
Andy LaRoche is starting again at 3rd. Ryan Doumit will get a rest today, and Jason Jaramillo will take on catching duties.
It’d be really nice to win this series against the Astros.
Russ Ortiz @ Jeff Karstens – 12:35 P.M.
Update: Disappointing game. The Pirates got 10 hits, but they could only convert them into 3 runs. Both teams scored three runs early. Lance Berkman hit a 3 run homer off of Sean Burnett.
- Andy LaRoche finally got his hit.
- Not a great outing for Karstens, giving up 3 runs, 4 hits, and 5 walks in 4 IP.
- We’re officially below .500 for the first time this season.
