Reynolds ropes one that the RF is just able to reach up and grab.

Pirates 0-7 RISP tonight, 1-18 for the series.

Ponce on, promptly gives up a lead off double

Ponce gives up a 2 out, 2 run double to probably sink us for the night

This game seems like it's gone on forever and it's only through 5 innings.

2:17 to be exact to get through the first 5 innings.

Interesting Walk channeled my thoughts. Reynolds positively ropes a ball that could have made the score 4-2 for us, but right at someone playing back far enough it doesn't get over their head, bottom of the innings a ball just hugs inside the bag for the Dodgers to make it 4-2 their way.

Still, 0-7 RISP is the real story. It's not that the Pirates don't generate offense. They don't generate runs

Huh....thought for sure Polanco would get a two out, nobody on single there

Polanco doesn't have an extra base hit in August, and 1 RBI

Ponce much better this inning, gets them in order

Castro, Gamel, PH for the Bucs.....would love a comeback win tonight, just to end this streak against the Dodgers in exciting fashion

George Custer comes on to pitch for the Dodgers...

Oh, his name is Bickford
