PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates promised roster changes after the trade deadline.
That meant younger blood coming in, more opportunities for the prospects fans are clamoring to see bring some successful baseball to Pittsburgh. Those young players showed up Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
In an 8-7 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, the Pirates’ second-straight win, utility man Tucupita Marcano had set himself up to be the hero. That would have been appropriate. Marcano represented Wednesday’s first move toward youth, as he was called up prior to the game to replace the scuffling Yoshi Tsutsugo, who was designated for assignment.
