PITTSBURGH The Giants made a good gambit in thefield, a smart play on the basepaths and saw genuine progress fromyoung left-hander Madison Bumgarner. But without any hard contact, especially with runners on base,it's tough to beat even the perennial doormats of the league. The Giants barely touched right-handerJames McDonald and four relievers in a 2-0 loss to the PittsburghPirates at near-empty PNC Park Wednesday night. McDonald entered with a super-sized 10.13 ERA. The Pirateshadn't shut out an opponent this season.
