If I wanted to, I could have changed the name of this show forever, go to Daily Shot at Ben Charington.

There's one thing he has done well. No snark here, no sarcasm. It was on display last night in St. Louis.

Good morning to you. Good Thursday morning. I'm Dan Kovach of each of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Pirates. Actual 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 2, Cardinals won last night at Bush Stadium.

Boy, does it seem like they've won a lot of games by that score?

Or something right in that range for the simple reason that they can't hit.

In this game, they went three for 30 with one extra base hit.

The only hit of note was Tommy Fams two-run single in the sixth inning that accounted for all the offense that was needed.

And the reason for that is that Carmen Muginski pitched well in one of those,

don't call it a bullpen game starts.

Three innings, one run, three hits.

Bubba Chandler, it's the real story.

Four scoreless innings in his second Major League appearance.

One hit, one walk.

Three Ks was blazing the ball at 99.

Working up in the zone, working down, had a lot of stuff going.

This was Chandler after the game to reporters in St. Louis, including our own Jose Negron of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

Yeah, you know, it felt great.

Carmen did a great job.

He knew he didn't have many innings today and he came in and shoved up their butt.

I came in there just trying to not miss a beat. I can't remember the name of I think the six is when we scored the runs

of the child's offense but yeah it's awesome pitching pitching gets easy when you got seven guys
