Mllodzinski gives up a check swing double on his first pitch, then blows away the next two batters with a couple Ks. Impressive.

WE WON A GAME!

1-2-3 double play for the 3-0 win. The relievers won a bullpen game right before the all star break, and tonight they get a shutout. Good win.

Borucki with an excellent outing

I'm reminded of the water-into-wine and the loaves and the fishes stories.

Just finished watching the last three innings. Bullpen did a fantastic job. Trying to remember the last time the Bucs shut anyone out.

Raise it!!

Shows what an unpredictable game baseball can be. After loading the bases with 2 hits and a walk. Bido gives up a screaming 106 mph liner to Thaiss that could have been the beginning of the end. Instead, it went right into the glove of Gonzales who made a quick flip to 2B for a rally killing DP. Then Bido struck out Renfroe to end the inning. So Bido faced 5 batters that inning and only Renfroe had trouble with him. But Bido came out of it smelling like a rose instead of what he would have smelled like if that liner had been another few inches to the right of Gonzales' glove.

Great work by the BP last night. Consistency has been a problem for all but Bednar. Too often at least one has a bad outing to let a lead slip away or increase a deficit. But last night they all had a good game on the same night. Hopefully, we'll see more of that.

The Pirates have shut out their opponent 8 times this season

They have been shut out 11 times by their opponents. All things

considered, I expected it to be worse
