McLouth is back in the lineup

Nate McLouth is apparently healthy enough to go as he is back in his usual 3-hole in the lineup for tonight's game against the Cincinnati Reds. John Russell said he was going to put McLouth through batting practice and certain drills to make sure he was pain free, and although I don't think they have taken batting practice yet, I guess he went through Russell's drills with no pain. Hopefully, BP will go smoothly for him, he won't feel any pain or tightness, and he will be able to go tonight for sure. This is a much needed boost to the Pirates' lineup as the Pirates look to get back in the win column after being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers earlier this week.
