And give Bailey Falter credit.

Good morning to you.

Good Wednesday morning.

I'm Dan Kovachwich of D.K. Pittsburgh sports.

This is Daily Shot of Pirates. It comes your way bright and early

every weekday if you're in two. Football and or hockey, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and

penguins in the same place that you found this. Pirates won Reds Zero. That's right. The only

score by which this team can possibly win anymore.

But hey, hey, you do it how you got to do it. Seven scoreless innings for Falter.

Four hits, five strikeouts, no walks, just so, so good.

And before I elaborate on that, Dennis Santana and David Bednar each put up a zero.

Bednar gave up a hit.

Immediately wiped that guy out with a double play.

Brian Reynolds had an RBI single to write in the sixth inning to score O'Neill Cruz to account for all

of the evening's offense from either side. What was probably most impressive about Falter's

start is that his start itself to the start wasn't all that great.

T.J. Friedel tripled right away. First batter of the game. Didn't matter. Grounded out,

strikeout of Ellie Delacruz. And then a pop out. And that threat was just blown to bits.

Fourth inning, Santiago Espinall doubled. Really hit it hard too. Out to bits. Fourth inning, Santiago Espinall doubled.

Really hit it hard, too.

Out to left,
