Who needs Jorge Montalvo???
Ron Taylor's first start was nothing short of GREAT SUCCESS, as he fired a 3-hit shutout in a 10-0 win over the Pirates. Pacheco-lite, indeed, as we also struck out 6.
Johnny Burt and Quinn Allison both had 3 RBI's, and even Taylor had an RBI as St. Louis took advantage of bad pitching and bad defense by Pittsburgh.
