Notes: I’m on vacation at the beach this week, so I missed the first two games of the series. Based on what I saw last night though, I think I made the right call. Just so many missed opportunities or near misses that could have swung one of these games in the Pirates’ favor. Kyle McPherson and Justin Wilson made their major league debuts Monday and were immediately sent back down after combining for three scoreless innings and five strikeouts. Gaby Sanchez hit his first homerun as a Buc. Garrett Jones nearly won Tuesday’s game on his own with a pair of homers. Kevin Correia stepped up in Monday’s start, lasting 4.1 innings after appearing in relief in the Sunday’s 19 inning game.
