Pirates, Doumit host slumping Nationals

Jun 12, 2008 - 11:40 AM Washington (27-41) at Pittsburgh (32-34), 12:35 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- Ryan Doumit will look to continue his recent success when the Pittsburgh Pirates host the Washington Nationals on Thursday in the finale of the three-game series.

Doumit blasted three home runs in the first two games of the series, including a solo shot in Wednesday's 4-1 victory - which marked the Nationals ninth loss in 11 games.

The switch-hitting catcher is batting .500 (11-for-22) with four blasts against Washington this season. The 27-year-old Doumit, who was activated off the disabled list on Friday, is hitting .358 with eight home runs and 19 RBI on the campaign.

The Pirates will send lefthander Tom Gorzelanny (4-5, 6.83 ERA) to the mound. He gave up three runs and five hits over seven innings during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Washington will counter with Jason Bergmann (1-3, 5.23), who has struggled since tossing 19 2/3 scoreless innings over three starts. The righthander was tagged for 12 runs - nine earned - over 11 frames in his last two starts.
