AJ Burnett is the man. Controlled the game throughout and again gives the pen some rest.
It appears Rod Barajas is the catcher for Burnett and Wandy Rodriguez, with McKenry catching everyone else. I’m okay with that.
I was irked that Pedro Alvarez and Travis Snider were both benched today with a RHP on the mound in Homer Bailey. Not to mention that Pedro is batting .318 with 14 HRs in day games this year.
I was fine with Josh Harrison starting, but rather it had been in place of Clint Barmes.
Shows what I know, though. Barmes and Gaby Sanchez combined to go 4 of 10 and score two runs.
I think we have to ride Starling Marte through Labor Day to see what we have. He shows flashes of what everyone spoke about when he was in the minors.
Four Pirates were hit by pitches. Zero Reds were. Grrrr.
