The Bucs go for two

You know what the difference between the American League and the National League is? I don't feel hopeless playing the Marlins this week. Plain and simple, I feel like the Pirates can win two out of three in this series. Tonight probably isn't a great night for that second win to come. John Van Benschoten has been less than impressive in my eyes since he's been called up, and Sergio Mitre has suddenly become some kind of ace with his 2.34 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Even his strikeouts are starting to match the way he's pitching. Raise your hand if you saw that coming. That's what I thought.
