Today, April 30th, in the series finale, to salvage something from this inelcentral clash. Schienes has owned April with a 4-0 record over five starts, giving up just three earned runs and 28.1 innings for A, 0.95 ERA, 29 strikeouts against five walks, and holding hitters to a point, 106 average. After a rough opening day meltdown against the Metz on March 26th, where he didn't escape the first, he's bounced back strong, nearly perfect. Against the Brewers on April 24th, and solid, versus the Reds, on April 1st. The Pirates' bullpen is gassed after 27 innings over the last five games, including a bullpen day, with no days off in 13. Straight Schienes needs to go deep to give them a breather, especially since he's zero and for a lifetime against the Cardinals despite a tidy, 2.39 ERA.
