There was a paid crowd of 19,379 at PNC Park last night, a lot bigger than your standard Monday night, a lot more focused on seeing Paul Skeens than the team around him.

Good morning to you.

Good Tuesday morning.

I'm Dan Kovachievich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot of Pirates.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into football and or hockey, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Penguins in the

six strikeouts. He's running out of adjectives. It's pretty early in his career for that to be

happening, but I am. Braxton Ashcraft, Dennis Santana, and David Bednar followed up with a zero each.

And what do you know just like that?

The team that couldn't handle the American League's worst found a way to beat the American

League's best.

I should also mention that Brian Hayes went two for four in that Brian Reynolds had a timely two-run single.

This was Skeens after the game.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, we did a good job.

At the end of the day, you know, it's a shoutout.

I think I heard that it's like our 11th shotout of the year, something like that.

So that's pretty good.

Braxton came in, Dennis, Bettyty came in did a really good job so

you know i was happy with it but i know i know they were happy with it too all due respect to a nice
