<h3>Pirates set to sweep Nationals</h3>

Washington (32-48) at Pittsburgh (35-45), 1:35 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - The Pittsburgh Pirates will look for arare series sweep on Sunday when they host the WashingtonNationals in the finale of a three-game series.

The Pirates have not swept a series of any kind since takingthree games from the Houston Astros from April 24-26. They arecurrently mired in their 15th consecutive losing season.

Thousands of fans in the crowd of 26,959 in Pittsburgh lefttheir seats at the end of the third inning on Saturday in awalkout that had been publicized throughout the week inPittsburgh. Many rallied beforehand across the street from thepark outside a bar.

Protesting fans, angered by a perceived lack of financialcommitment to the team by principal owner Bob Nutting, woregreen shirts. Most did not leave the stadium and only retreatedto the concourse to return to their seats for the start of thefifth inning.

Paul Maholm (4-10, 4.80 ERA) will try to make the fans happy onSunday. The 25-year-old lefthander has made just one start inhis career against the Nationals, taking a no decision on July16, 2006 after allowing three runs in 6 1/3 innings.

Washington will counter with Mike Bacsik (1-5, 5.08). Thelefthander has lost his last five decisions, including a lossagainst the Pirates on June 5 in which he surrendered six runsin 4 1/3 innings.
