Erik Bedard left his start against Washington after retiring the Nationals 1-2-3 in the first. He suffered back spasms. Brad Lincoln is on, and retired the next six batters in a row. So right now, the two pitchers are combining for a perfect game. The Pirates lead 3-0 as the Nationals come to the plate in the fourth inning.

Update: A walk and an error set up Xavier Nady for a single that breaks up the no-hitter and cuts the Pirates lead to 3-1.
