NL: PITTSBURGH (45-64) at ARIZONA (63-51) <h3>Diamondbacks welcome back Kim</h3> Pittsburgh (45-64) at Arizona (63-51), 9:40 pm EDT PHOENIX (Ticker) - The Arizona Diamondbacks are patching theirrotation together with an old friend. Byung-Hyun Kim will startfor the Diamondbacks when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates onWednesday. Kim (6-5, 4.63 ERA) began his career with Arizona in 1999 andserved as the team's closer when it won the World Series in2001. The Korean sidewinder began the season with Coloradobefore moving to the Florida Marlins as part of a trade thatsent Jorge Julio to the Rockies. When Florida placed the veteran on waivers on Friday, Arizonawas quick to pick him up, slotting him into the rotation in thespot vacated by Randy Johnson, who underwent season-ending backsurgery. Kim will have an offense behind him that now features phenomoutfielder Justin Upton, who finished a single shy of the cyclein just his fifth major league game on Tuesday. Charged with stopping Upton and the Diamondbacks' hitters willbe Pittsburgh lefthander Paul Maholm (7-13, 4.50). The25-year-old is 2-2 over his last four starts, not allowing morethan three runs in any of those contests. The Pirates won Tuesday's series opener, 8-3, trimming Arizona'slead in the National League West to a single game over the SanDiego Padres (61-51).
