CINCINNATI (AP) - Xavier Nady homered twice and drove in four
runs Wednesday night, leading Pittsburgh to a 9-5 victory over the
Cincinnati Reds shortly after the Pirates lost yet another pitcher
to injury.
Closer Matt Capps will be gone for about eight weeks after a
medical test detected bursitis and tightness in his pitching
shoulder. Capps is the fourth Pittsburgh pitcher to wind up on the
disabled list in the last two weeks.
The rest of the bullpen came through, helping the Pirates win
back-to-back road games for only the second time this season.
Denny Bautista (1-0), obtained in a trade with Detroit last
week, got the victory in relief of John Van Benschoten, who fizzled
in his homecoming.

Johnson takes pole at Homestead
Jimmie Johnson's run for his fourth straight Cup title starts from the pole.
Johnson looks to cap title run with race win
Rotoworld: With the way Jimmie Johnson has been racing, it's entirely possible he'll end up celebrating his Cup championship from Victory Lane in Florida. His toughest race competition, however, will come from the Roush-Fenway cars.
Opinion: Martin faces daunting task in final race
Sporting News: In order to overtake Jimmie Johnson in the standings, Mark Martin needs his teammate to finish worse than 25th this weekend. It's not impossible, but Johnson has finished worse than 25th in only 16 percent of his career starts.
Opinion: Johnson's dominance not embraced by fans
Sporting News: Watching Jimmie Johnson, especially in the Chase, is a lot like watching Tiger Woods in golf's majors. But while Woods is considered good for his sport, Johnson's success is thought to detract from NASCAR's appeal. Why are they viewed differently?
