Tonight, Kip Wells continued to follow the pattern set by other Pittsburgh starters this year – only a few months later. The other Pirates starters struggled for the first few weeks of the season, generally digging themselves a deep hole in the first inning. Since Kip Wells came off the disabled list a couple of weeks ago he has followed the same trend. Tonight, he gave up 5 runs in the first inning but managed to regroup and pitched the next five innings without allowing another run. However, the damage was done and the Pirates lost to the Mets 0-5.
