PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates will attempt to bounce back from a tough loss to the Cincinnati Reds when they meet again Saturday at PNC Park. NFL Jerseys Wholesale .The Reds (58-82) ended their five-game losing streak by defeating the Pirates 4-3 on Friday. Pittsburgh (69-70) remains in National League Wild Card contention, but cannot afford to allow many more games to slip away in the fashion they did Friday.The Pirates wasted two lead-off doubles by Gregory Polanco early in their loss, left the bases loaded in the ninth inning and allowed Reds starter Tim Adleman to go 2-for-2 with an RBI.Brandon Phillips sent his 10th home run of the season into the left field bleachers while Pittsburgh struggled to get anything going offensively.Following Pittsburghs loss Friday, manager Clint Hurdle expressed frustration with its lack of offensive execution.We hit into four doubles plays and that was problematic, which is an understatement, Hurdle said. We had a chance to move runners, score runners from third with less than two outs and we didnt get down. Were having problems scoring runs. Its not a secret. I dont think the execution level matches the talent level right now. We need to be better.Although they had won two straight games entering Friday, the Pirates have lost nine of their last 11 games.Drew Hutchison will try to help Pittsburgh avoid another slide when he makes his first start for the Pirates on Saturday.Hutchison, who went 1-0 with a 4.97 ERA with the Toronto Blue Jays this season, is set to fill in for Chad Kuhl, who lasted just two innings and surrendered three runs on four hits when he last appeared against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.Pittsburgh recalled Hutchison and Tyler Glasnow from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. In 24 starts with Indianapolis, Hutchison has gone 7-6 with a 3.59 ERA.While Hutchison will look to keep Pittsburgh in the Wild Card hunt, Robert Stephenson (2-1, 3.12) will try to provide a significant roadblock on the Pirates path to the playoffs.Despite allowing just two runs in 5 1/3 innings pitched, Stephenson suffered his first major league loss in his third start Monday, falling 5-0 to the New York Mets.Stephenson won each of his previous two starts earlier this season by surrendering a combined four runs in 12 innings pitched against the Philadelphia Phillies on April 7 and Colorado Rockies on April 19.After his second start, Stephenson was optioned back to Triple-A Louisville.Stephenson will take the mound with a confident group coming off a hard-fought win Friday.It just shows you that we dont give up, Phillips said. We try to win every game. Were in a lot of games, but we just dont finish. But today, we go to finish and it really shows that we have a heart.Were not giving up. Even though we know were not going to do anything this year, its still just in our heads that you just want to finish strong and go out there, play the game and try to get as many wins as possible.

Dickey was won over by an Atlanta Braves sales team that included two Hall of Famers, including a fellow knuckleballer.Dickey said he knew the Braves would be a good fit after meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, with a group that included manager Brian Snitker, general manager John Coppolella and two Hall of Famers -- former manager Bobby Cox and knuckleballer Phil Niekro.I had a great feeling then there was great hope I would be able to join the organization, Dickey said Thursday after agreeing to a one-year contract with an $8 million guarantee.He considers Niekro to be part of the Jedi council of knuckleballers who influenced his career.Phil and I have a good relationship, Dickey said. I consider him a friend. We filmed a documentary together.He gets a $7.5 million salary next year, and the Braves have an $8 million option for 2018 with a $500,000 buyout. The deal for the 42-year-old right-hander, the first of the 157 free agents to switch teams this offseason, is subject to a successful physical, tentatively planned for late next week.Dickey said he had the Braves near the top of a short list of prospective teams. He noted the short travel distance -- 3 hours, 15 minutes from doorstep to doorstep -- from his home to Atlanta was a biig factor. Authentic Jerseys Cheap. Ive grown up a Braves fan and have always admired the organization, Dickey said.Dickey said having four children ages 14 and younger kept retirement an option if he did not find interest from the right team.Dickey had a career-high 20 wins and won the NL Cy Young in 2012, his final season with the New York Mets. The right-hander spent the last four years with the Toronto Blue Jays, going 10-15 with a 4.46 ERA this year.Dickey said the velocities on his knuckleball were as high as theyve ever been and he expects to pitch 200 innings in 2017.No one had double-figure wins for Atlanta this year, prompting Coppolella to say he will pursue at least two established starters on the free-agent market. Julio Teheran heads a rotation projected to include Josh Collmenter.Dickey is 110-108 with a 4.01 ERA in his career. He logged at least 200 innings five straight seasons from 2011 to 2015. Since 2010, his 1,441 innings rank ninth in the majors.He said it was a challenge to pitch in the AL Easts small parks and said the rebuilding Braves potential in their new SunTrust Park in suburban Atlanta was a selling point.
