This is the exact lineup the Pirates have used throughout the entire series. So far, this lineup has yielded 15 runs, seven of which came in one game and two of which came in two games. Pedro Alvarez provided solo home runs to prevent the shutout in those two games the Pirates on scored a run. For a guy with a strikeout reputation, Alvarez has been red hot, hitting .375 with three home runs and five RBI in the first four games of the series.
