Pirates split make-up doubleheader with Giants

Game 1

Pirates win 3-1 over Giants. Paul Maholm(8-14) pitched a 3-hitter complete game only giving up 1 run. Former-Pirate Rajai davis,, who has seen a lot of playing time with the Giants doubled home Dan Ortmeier in the 3rd and that was all the Giants got. Maholm did not walk a batter, not even Barry Bonds who was 1 for 3 with a single. Jose Castillo singled home 2 runs in the first for the winning runs.

Game 2

Pirates lose 10-3 to Giants. The Giants sent their best pitcher to the mound and he got the win for them. Noah Lowry(13-7) went 7 innings and gave 2 runs on 6 hits, while walking 5. Shane Youman(2-4) pitched well until the 6th inning when he gave up a grand slam to Ryan Klesko(6). Jose Bautista(8), Xavier Nady(15), and Josh Phelps(5) all hit solo homers. The loss stopped the Pirates 4 game win streak, they are now 49-67.
