ATLANTA — The Pittsburgh Pirates have played three straight 1-0 games, but they're pitching so well that maybe it doesn't matter. "We always talk about scoring one more run than the other team," manager Clint Hurdle said, "and the last three games we did it twice." Andrew McCutchen homered, Francisco Liriano won his fourth straight start and Pittsburgh moved closer to the postseason with a 1-0 victory Monday night over the Atlanta Braves.
