PITTSBURGH -- Five minutes from the first pitch on a sunny Sunday at PNC Park ...
* With a win today, the Pirates will get their first three-game sweep of the Phillies since April 19-21, 2002, also at PNC Park.
* A few lineup changes for the Phils: 2B Chase Utley is getting a regular day off. Abraham Nunez, a former Pirate, is playing in his place. Also, manager Charlie Manuel is giving 3B David Bell some rest. Starting for Bell is Alex Gonzalez, who, when last we left the Phils last night, was grounding into a game-ending, bases-loaded double play.
* According to the Phils media relations department, they have received about 300 credential requests for next weekend when Barry Bonds comes to town with the San Francisco Giants.
More later.

Never mind Chase Utley and Barry Bonds, Scott. Did you hit Primanti Bros. when you were out there?
