Pirates Lose Game, Series

The Pirates just could not find their groove in the rubber match of the opening series against the Dodgers. Paul Maholm was knocked around, and the offense could not sustain any kind of momentum. What makes this loss sting a little more was the surprise move for Dodgers Manager Joe Torre to start Hiroki Kuroda just 1 day after taking the loss in game 2.
