Dusty Brown received another start on Sunday, but finished 0-for-2 in the Pirates' 7-0 loss to the Mets. |
Brown's playing time has increased since Chris Snyder went on the DL, but thus far he has squandered the opportunity. He is 0-for-13 in his last five games, lowering his average to .095. With Pittsburgh's acquisition of catcher Mike McKenry on Sunday, Brown might be relegated to back-up status going forward. |
