After recording their first shutout in more than two months, the Pittsburgh Pirates will take aim at a series victory when they face the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday in Anaheim, Calif.
Pittsburgh snapped Los Angeles' four-game winning streak with a 3-0 victory on Saturday when Endy Rodriguez hit his first major league homer and five pitchers combined on a five-hitter.
"There's a lot of young players on this team," Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said. "I think we have more games played by 24-and-under players [than] any team in baseball. Not every one of those young players is going to improve and advance in the same way, but we need some of them to. We need a good chunk."
"I want them to stay aggressive," Nevin said. "The reason our offense is where it is in this league is because we're aggressive at swinging at strikes in the zone. We have done a fantastic job of it lately." "It felt like they were on everything," Keller said. "They put some good swings on pitches. I probably could have executed a little bit better."
