Interesting game today in Pitt.
After three turns through the order, her are the stats for the Pirates 1-8 hitters:
1-3
A 2 out double by McCutchen and a HR by Alvarez. zero walks.
McDonald was simply dominant through 4 innings. In the fifth, he started to lose it. He hit Giambi. Walked the next guy on four pitches. Threw a ball 2 feet inside for ball one on Rosario. Rosario then shows why he's a young hitter and proceeds to hit McDonald's first strike of the inning straight to the SS.
The Rockies then blew a chance to get another guy in with Tulo on third and one out. They pay the price in a big way when Alvarez hits his blast to right center. The Rockies bullpen has struggled the last few games. . . they need to figure out a way to take this game. McCutchen leads off the bottom of the eighth. They don't get him, they'll lose the game.
