Kelly says the Pirates never feel as if they are out of a game.
Injured pitcher Wilber Dotel was with the Pirates in Philadelphia last night after throwing a rehab outing for Altoona on Saturday. He was supposed to throw two innings but went only one for the Curve. Manager Donnie Kelly says the team “pulled him back” but said there were no major issues with him. The team has not announced when Dotel will pitch again.
