PITTSBURGH -- Chase Anderson doesnt have to think back very far to know what its like to face the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Milwaukee right-hander was done in by two grooved pitches that the Pirates hit out of Miller Park in the sixth inning last Sunday in a 3-1 loss to Pittsburgh.That lineup and their starting pitching is pretty good, Anderson said after that game. Its tough to face those guys.Anderson (7-11, 4.29 ERA) gets another crack at Pittsburgh a week later when the teams close out a weekend series Sunday at PNC Park.Anderson might want to note that the Pirates offense has cooled this weekend. In losing the first two games of this series, Pittsburgh has slapped together 16 hits, but they have not translated into the kind of run production manager Clint Hurdle is looking for.The Pirates were shut out 1-0 Friday and lost 7-4 Saturday, but stranded 17 runners combined in the two games. Two of their runs Saturday came on solo home runs -- a good thing, but not indicative of sustained rallies.We have to find ways to score runs, Hurdle said after Saturdays loss. It was similar to the situation (Friday) night: a lot of baserunners. (Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson) had six walks while he was out there. Were getting opportunities to score runs. We need to find a way to have that at-bat we need, pass the baton.The pitcher is the one in trouble. Get that good at-bat, hit the ball hard where its pitched, keep it simple and go on. The last two nights in particular, we havent taken advantage of the opportunities that weve had.Despite the loss last weekend, Andersons numbers have been pretty good lately, although he has not gotten out of the sixth in 11 of his past 12 starts. He is 3-1 with a 3.06 ERA over his past seven starts.Pittsburgh is scheduled to counter with left-handed rookie Steve Brault (0-1, 3.86 ERA), who has been filling in pretty nicely through four starts. Hes in the rotation for now because Gerrit Cole and Tyler Glasnow are hurt.Braults one decision came in Milwaukee July 29. He allowed three runs in six innings in a 3-1 loss in his second career start.Last weekend, Pittsburgh swept its four-game series at Miller Park, where they had struggled for several years and had lost their previous nine.The Brewers are a win away from returning the favor, although this series is just three games and ends Sunday.While some of the Milwaukee players might be eyeing payback -- second baseman Scooter Gennett said as much after Fridays win -- outfielder Keon Broxton claims to have no extra motivation against the Pirates.Broxton made his big league debut with Pittsburgh as a September call-up. He was used primarily as a pinch-runner, going 0-for-2 with a stolen base and three runs scored. The Pirates traded him to the Brewers in December.I dont have any hard feelings, Broxton said Saturday after going 3-for-4 with an RBI, a walk and his 20th stolen base.Theyre the ones that got my big-league career started last year. I cant hold a grudge against them but it does feel good to come in with my new team and let them know what they are missing, show that I can do some things to help my new team win some games.Cheap Vapormax Womens Black . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan.

All four wild cards won fewer than 90 games and the four teams collectively won 352, the lowest combined total in the five-year history of the two wild-card era.That, however, doesnt mean one of these teams wont make noise in the postseason. The 2014 World Series was an all-wild-card affair between the 89-win Royals and 88-win Giants. While those were the only wild cards to reach the World Series since 2012, in the one-team wild-card era, seven wild cards reached the World Series between 2002 and 2011 -- with the 2002 Angels, 20003 Marlins, 2004 Red Sox and 2011 Cardinals winning it all.ddddddddddddSome of them had high win totals -- the 2002 Angels won 99 games and the 2004 Red Sox won 98, for example -- but the 2003 Marlins won just 91 games, the 2011 Cardinals and 2007 Rockies won 90 and the 2005 Astros won 89. Id call these sneaky-good teams. One thing they all did during their World Series seasons was to have spurts of dominance; they didnt just plod along at two or three games over .500 each month. ' ' '
