Last Week (6-1): 3-1 vs. STL, 3-0 @ WAS
- 6/16: STL 4, PIT 7 - Liriano was solid (6 IP 2 ER) while earning his 9th win. The big hit came in the 7th when McCutchen hit a 3 run HR off of Jaime Garcia. Inoue earned his 3rd save as he got the last 2 outs of the 9th inning.
- 6/17: STL 3, PIT 7 - A.J. Burnett made a rousing return to as he pitched 8 innings allowing 2 earned to pick up the win and had the Pittsburgh fans on their feet when Hurdle pulled him in the 8th.
- 6/18: STL 2, PIT 3 - Strong start by Wandy (7.1 IP 2 ER) and the bullpen shut em down until McCutchen hit a walk off HR in the 10th. Marte was also big for us going 2-3 with 2 RBI.
- 6/19: STL 7, PIT 5 - Thought we might have a chance for a sweep after a 2 run HR by Alvarez gave us the lead heading into the 9th but Hererra gave up a 3 run blast to Oscar Tavarez who killed us all day (4-5 3 R 5 RBI) and that was all she wrote.
- 6/20: PIT 9, WAS 2 - Nice to see the bats break out for us. Pedro led the way (3-4 HR 2 RBI 3 RS) and Jed Lowrie chipped in with a HR and 4 RBI to give Lincecum (6 IP 2 ER) his 4th win of the season.
- 6/21: PIT 9, WAS 2 - Liriano pitched a heck of a game (9 IP 2 ER 5 H 2 BB 4 K's) to earn his 10th victory. The bats came alive with McCutchen hitting his 14th HR, Lowrie driving in 3 runs and Davis knocking in a pair as we copied our score from yesterday.
- 6/22: PIT 3, WAS 2 - Burnett did well in his 2nd start of the season (6 IP 2 ER) and the bullpen held them the rest of the way as we went ahead on an RBI single by Russell Martin in the 8th inning. Perez earned his 4th save of the year in the 9th.
