<h3>Surging Pirates look to keep momentum going</h3>

<div class="pre">Cincinnati (60-72) at Pittsburgh (59-72) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- The Pittsburgh Pirates are slowly butsurely working themselves into contention in the National LeagueCentral. On Wednesday, they look to continue their winningways in their on-going four-game series with the CincinnatiReds.


The Pirates have won 10 of their last 13 games to move to within8 1/2 games of the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs (67-63).Their doubleheader sweep of the Reds on Tuesday abruptly put anend to Cincinnati's six-game winning streak entering the series.

Ian Snell (8-10, 3.93 ERA) is one pitcher who has not benefitedfrom much of anything the Pirates have done lately, winning onlyonce after July 4. He did not factor into the decision inFriday's 8-3 win over the Houston Astros despite allowing threeruns and six hits over seven frames.


The righthander is 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA in six career startsagainst the Reds.


Opposing him will be Aaron Harang (13-3, 3.68), who has won hislast three decisions. In his most recent win on Friday, a 5-3win over the Florida Marlins, the righthander permitted threeruns and eight hits over seven innings.


Despite a 4.32 ERA in 16 lifetime starts against Pittsburgh, the29-year-old has managed to go 10-3, including a 2-0 record thisseason.
