Jim Tracy announced tonight that Matt Capps will be the closer and Salomon Torres will go back to being the set-up man before the Pirates lost 5-4 to the LA Dodgers. Torres is a better pitcher when he pitches everyday in my opinion and Capps is a power pitcher who throws strikes consistently. I think this is a good move. Torres pitched 2 scoreless innings tonight.
As for the game, sigh, the Bucs lost 5-4 to the Dodgers and Zach Duke(2-6) pitched bad again giving up all 5 runs in 6 innings pitched. Randy Wolf(7-3) got the win for the Dodgers and Saito got the final 5 outs for his 16th save. The Bucs left 16 men on base. Lone bright spot was Jason Bay hit his 9th home run. The Pirates are 23-31 and fell to 3rd place in the NL "Comedy" Central. What a horrible division!
