Tellez grounds into another DP and slowed down before he got to the 1B bag.

Gonzales and Tellez now have the same amount of RBIs for the season (8). Gonzales has only been with them for about a week.

Bellinger killing us yet again with a double, putting runners at 2nd and 3rd.

I have a feeling the Pirates are being Sheltoned. Keller pulled after 6 IP and 83 pitches. Holderman has been effective but he's used in the 7th. So they need 2 more relievers to each be effective. I guess Bednar will lug his 8.31 ERA into the 9th.

In a stroke of good luck, Tellez leads off the 8th, thereby only being able to make one out, which he of course does.

1st and 3rd, no outs. Of course the Bucs fail to score.
But Grandal got a SB. That's kind of like Smoky Burgess getting one.

Buckle up. Chapman in to handle the 8th.

Two miracles at once: Bellinger makes an out and Chapman puts the Cubs down in order. Heading to the 9th, 3-2 Bucs.

Chapman handled the 8th on 10 pitches.
