GOOD WORK FOR THE BUCCOS AJ:
AJ will have to settle for a close call and maybe the
best performance of his career.
Burnett pitched a
one-hitter,
Neil Walker drove in five runs and the
Pittsburgh Pirates beat Chicago 5-0 on Tuesday night, hours after the Cubs traded ace
Ryan Dempster.
Burnett started thinking about a no-hitter in the third or fourth inning.
''I'm not going to lie,'' he said. ''So, it's one of those things that you want to do, you want to take pride in, but at the same time a lot of luck's got to go into it. I had a lot of great plays behind me. ... Bottom line is it's a 'W' for us.''
