Oliver Perez (6-5, 6.16) vs. Jason Marquis (12-13, 4.11), in progress. Actually, Perez was ejected for hitting Hector Luna with a pitch, and Ryan Vogelsong is on in long relief. Perez walked two batters and didn't strike any out, but the Pirates are off to a 2-0 lead anyway on solo homers by Jason Bay and Brad Eldred.
