This homestand wraps up with a 3-game series against the Pirates. Who other than recently traded and disgruntled Matt Morris starts on the mound. He had a few choice words to say about the Giants management after he became a Pirate. I'm not sure how the fans will treat him, but maybe it won't matter since the yard's been
quiet dead after the 756 euphoria. I guess it's only fitting if he throws a complete game shutout against us, despite giving up 80 hits and 40 runs in 45.1 innings during his last 8 starts as a Giant.
Russ Ortiz will be making his own comeback tonight as a replacement starter for Lowry. He's been quite successful against Pittsburgh throughout his career, 8-1 and a 3.18 ERA in 12 career starts (13 if you count a relief role). He almost had a CG against them earlier this year, but was pulled with one out left.
7:15 PM start time.
