Marlins 4 Pirates 1

Scott Olsen is exactly the type of pitcher that has owned the Pirates this year. He doesn't throw especially hard, but he throws good off speed stuff and uses it to place the fastball, which makes our Buccos look like a bunch of morons. He struck out 11 tonight, including six straight at one point. Paul Maholm took the hard luck loss as he actually pitched quite well, only really being hurt by a Cody Ross homer and Jose Castillo missing a ball that a nine year old would've turned into a double play. Speaking of which, Cody Ross has six homer and 23 RBIs this year and three of those homers and 11 of those RBIs are against the Buccos. I honestly don't even know how that happens.
