-P- Zach Duke got hit hard again today in the Pirates' 7-5 loss. Xavier Nady went 3-for-4 with a double and a homer, however.
-P- Mike Gonzalez had an MRI on his sore elbow today. The MRI showed "no structural damage" and Gonzalez should return to action soon, but still - does anyone want to take that trade back?
-P- Yoslan Herrera got hit hard on Tuesday. The Pirates think he needs to use his fastball more.
