Copperhouse Rivalry continues

Pittsburgh won the first of a three games in a rare Copperhouse Series in Seattle. The game last night marked the first time since the 2006 Super Bowl that a teams from Pittsburgh and Seattle matched up, and the Bucs picked up a win behind a 7 inning outing from Tom Gorzelanny and managed to hang on despite missing closers Matt Capps and Salomon Torres from the bullpen. Torres is still on the DL after tweaking his shoulder, and last night Capps served the first game of a 3-game suspension for drilling Prince Fielder with a pitch earlier in the month.

With starter Ian Snell still out of commission after burning his finger while cleaning the stove, Paul Maholm will move up in the rotation and start the second game tonight.
