The surprising Pittsburgh Pirates Look To Continue their strong Start Against the Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers were expected to be a contender in the National league. The Pittsburgh Pirates were not expected to do much, but they have started the year on a good note.

The Pittsburgh Pirates saw just one starter record a win in 18 games against the Milwaukee Brewers last season, so it wasn’t hard to believe they finished 2010 without a pitcher reaching 10 victories. Kevin Correia seems well on his way to making sure that doesn’t happen again.

Correia has been excellent in his first two outings, and he’ll try to become the first Pirate to win his first three starts since 2003 on Tuesday night against the visiting Brewers.The Pirates only got 34 wins from their starters last season, tied for the third-fewest from an NL team in a 162-game season since 1989.

They were at their worst against Milwaukee, going 1-10 with a 7.40 ERA as the Brewers took 13 of 18.

That ineptitude is what led the Pirates to give Correia a two-year, $8 million deal, and through two starts, that’s looked like a bargain. The veteran right-hander gave up two earned run over six innings in a 6-3 win at Chicago on April 1, then tossed seven scoreless innings to outduel St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter in a 3-1 victory Wednesday.

Correia (2-0, 1.29 ERA) even pitched a perfect inning of relief Saturday in a 6-4 loss to Colorado, a night after the bullpen was taxed from a 14-inning victory.After winning its first two road series, Pittsburgh (5-5) dropped three of four at home against the Rockies, falling 6-5 on Sunday.

Correia has a chance to become the first Pirate to win his first three starts since Jeff Suppan opened 4-0 in 2003. He’s 2-3 with a 5.40 ERA in five starts versus Milwaukee since 2007.

The Brewers come to Pittsburgh still looking for their first road victory after dropping their opening three-game set in Cincinnati, but they’ve recovered nicely from an 0-4 start that included a loss in their home opener.

The Brewers are 2-6 in their last eight against the National League Central and the Pirates will continue their early improbable run.
