The Pirates take on the Minnesota Twins in a quick two game series at Target Field beginning tonight.
Charlie Morton (6-4, 4.59 ERA) faces off against veteran right hander Mike Pelfrey (5-7, 3.94 ERA) with the first pitch at 8:10 p.m. Pre-game coverage begins on WISR 680 AM at 7:45 p.m.
Jayson Stark of ESPN reported yesterday afternoon that the Pirates appear to be content with keeping 1B Pedro Alvarez. This comes only days after a report that said the Pirates were shopping Alvarez to almost everyone.
The Pirates were also linked to super-utility man Ben Zobrist of the Oakland A’s yesterday. (Along with almost every other contender.)
