Final
Chacon, Pirates look for more road success
Jun 5, 2007 - 2:28 PM Pittsburgh (24-33) at Washington (23-34) 7:05 pm EDTWASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Shawn Chacon and the Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to get healthy on the road.
Chacon (1-0, 2.84 ERA) takes the mound for the Pirates in the opener of a three-game series with the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.
In his last outing, Chacon was brilliant, throwing seven shutout innings and yielding just three hits with 10 strikeouts. However he did not receive a decision, as his bullpen let him down.
Pittsburgh just completed a 2-5 homestand in which they were nearly no-hit and then nearly staged a ninth-inning comeback in a 6-5 loss to Los Angeles.
Derek Lowe held Pittsburgh hitless for 6 2/3 before the Pirates scored five runs in the last two innings. Now they look to rebound on the road, where they have won three of their last four contests.
Meanwhile, the Nationals, who are just 2-4 during their current nine-game homestand, will send Mike Bacsik (1-1, 2.29) to the hill.
Bacsik has pitched well in his first three starts in place of the injured Jason Bergmann. The lefthander has not allowed more than three runs while lasting at least six innings in each starts.
