Last 2 starts for the @Pirates' Braxton Ashcraft:
9.0 innings on 85 pitches
8.0 innings on 80 pitches
He's the first MLB pitcher to toss at least 8.0 innings while averaging 10.0 or fewer pitches per inning in back-to-back starts since Greg Maddux from September 7-13, 2000.

On this date in 1921, Harold Arlin became the first person to announce a Major League Baseball game on radio as the @Pirates hosted the Phillies. The game was broadcast on KDKA Radio and provided inspiration for other radio stations across the country to do the same.

Just caught up with David Bednar. When he got back to the Yankees clubhouse, he found he had two 15-packs of IC Light waiting for him courtesy of video guru Kevin Roach and clubbie Nik Cook.
“I’m glad they followed through,” Bednar said. “It’s a little tough to get IC Lights out here.”

Esmerlyn Valdez is the first Pirate since Willie Stargell during his [monster] 1971 season to have an extra-base hit and an RBI in 7 straight games.
