Official Game Thread - 8/23 - Bucs vs Reds

[Doc]

Santana brilliant in his two innings, helped by Espinal’s bad decision. He threw 16 pitches, 14 for strikes.

[Bobster]

Espinal is 3 for 3. Each time he ended up trotting back to the dugout after being thrown out on the bases. Once at 3B, twice at 2B. Maybe he's going for the Cycle Of Outs (COO). The COO would be quite a coup.

Scary inning coming up with De La Cruz, Stephenson, and Steer due to hit. Chapman coming in to take them on.

I love it. The COO.

De La Cruz strikes out.

I guess the Pirates will have to survive a Bednar 9th inning appearance. The formula cannot be changed.

[Doc]

Stephenson fans, too!

Steer walks.

Dang, France singles Steer to 3rd. Two down.

[Doc]

Yes! Fairchild caught looking. Still 6-5 Bucs midway through eight.
