He pinch-hit on ... RHP Morris is 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA in three career starts at PNC Park. Pirates - C Jason Kendall is batting .143 (4-for-28) in his career against Morris. ... The Pirates are 8-19 in June and must win Wednesday to avoid their first 20-loss month since going 8-20 in August 2001. ... RHP Salomon Torres expects to learn Wednesday if his four-game suspension for throwing at Oakland's Damian Miller will be reduced. Torres' appeal was heard Monday.
Pittsburgh rookie left-hander Sean Burnett limited the Cardinals to five hits over six innings to pick up his first career win Tuesday, and Tike Redman drove in two runs to lead the Pirates to a 3-0 win.
