PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- The Pirates have promoted 20-year-old pitcher Jameson Taillon to the Altoona Curve, the club's Double-A affiliate, it was announced Friday afternoon. This pairs Taillon with Curve starter Gerrit Cole, the other top pitching prospect in the Pirates' system.
The reigning World Series champions are tied with San Francisco at 64-54, one game back of Pittsburgh (65-53).

PITTSBURGH (AP) Garrett Jones hit two three-run homers, A.J. Burnett became the first Pirates pitcher with 15 wins in 13 years, and Pittsburgh avoided a four-game sweep with a 10-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
Fortunately, it appears none of those moves are directly related to the health of hot-hitting second baseman Neil Walker, who dislocated his right pinky finger in a collision with Dodger infielder Mark Ellis during the first inning of Wednesday's 9-3 loss.
A.J. Burnett (14-4, 3.32 ERA) tried to rally his teammates by holding a players-only meeting prior to Wednesday's game, and he'll be on the mound as the Pirates (64-53) try to avoid a season-high fourth consecutive home loss.
Following the Pirates' fourth straight defeat, which put them on the brink of being swept by Los Angeles Thursday afternoon, x-rays on what was deemed a dislocated right pinky finger were found negative. However, Walker will see a hand specialist at some point today for a second opinion.
