Official Game Thread - 3/28 -Bucs @ Marlins

[Doc]

Keller pitching like he means it. Another three up, three down inning. Onto the sixth, Bucs still up 4-0.

Oops, manager’s challenge overturns the last play in the 5th. Marlins have a runner at first with two on.

[Doc]

The replay costs the Bucs as a double drives home a run. Now 4-1 Bucs through five.

[Bobster]

Replay clearly showed the runner was safe at first base. I don’t know why Bob Walk kept acting like it was too close to call. Maybe he should just stick to the comedy.

[Doc]

A Frazier single goes for naught in the 6th. Bucs still lead 4-1.

[Doc]

Keller gives up a single in the 6th but that’s it. He’s had a strong outing. 4-1 Bucs into the 7th.

[Doc]

A pair of two out singles by Cruz and Bart in the 7th, but the Bucs can’t add on. Still 4-1 good guys.

[Doc]

Ferguson takes over for Keller. Nice job tonight, Mitch. Hope you get the win.

It would be good if the Pirates could add on a couple extra runs. Take the pressure off the pitchers.

[Doc]

Turns out the Pirates aren’t the only team that does head-scratching stuff. According to Gameday, Derek Hill lays down a sac bunt with one out in the 7th while down by three runs. We’ll probably trade for him later this year.

[Doc]

Ferguson issues a walk but nothing more in the 7th. Two good innings for him in these first two games. Onto the 8th, Bucs 4 Marlins 1.
