► Follow

• Curve, lower right corner of the area. Bednar bread and butter. Final: Pirates 1, cardinals 0. A race is sufficient on this occasion.

• Call on the field stands. Fermín is at home, runners first and third, two withdrawals.

• It is a very close game. Difficult to say if it was safe or not of replay. Pirates could benefit from the call on the ground.

• Another spectacular game, Scott hits a ball on the ground in Horwitz, which arrives on it and goes to the plate to cut Fermín. He is being examined.

• Pozo has just taken a bent ball at the front. Bednar left it too high in the area

• POZO doubles on the line of the left field and it ricoche from the fence in foul territory. Canario slips while pursuing it. Runners the first and third, one in the shelter.

• Yohel pozo Hits for pages.

• It is missing with two other throws and Davis comes out in the mound to calm it down. Kelly shakes her head with a canoe.

• I cannot have an at-bat like this here in the ninth. Bednar had three locations in the area but everything else failed wildly.

• Alexander Canario also entered to play in the left field.

• Bednar set to meet 6-7-8 in order.

• End of eighth round: McCutchen comes out and strand two runners. But, the hackers are at the top of the ninth and rentgade is played as David Bednar Trots out of the enclosure of the lifts.

• Another key moment here in Burleson cannot make a Winn and IKF throw. Runners the first and third.

• RUN: Davis breaks the tie with a sacrificial fly in the center left. Hayes returns home, Frazier remains in the second row. Pirates, 1-0

• Frazier continues to double on the straight field line and Hayes is third in the third place. It was barely just. Large moment for Davis.

• Adam Frazier is now struck for Pham after Hayes is simple on the right.

• Phil Carpet Enter for Pallante, which finished with 7 IP, 1 hour, 2 BB, 3 ks. He launched 94 throws.

• Another solid defensive game of the outside field. Cruz travels a long way to make these capture and strand runners the first and second. The cardinals are 1 for 11 with runners in the rating position.

• Pham plays a great defense. He made a long way for this one on the left. Two outside.

• Mattson continues with the fast trend. He has launched 13 throws so far, 10 have been fast bullets. He’s going right after guys.

• The offense does not achieve anything again. They still have only one blow tonight when we enter the eighth. Isaac Mattson Now comes.

• This second called the strike on Cruz failed terribly.

• Another McCutchen walk, another McCutchen bat flip.

• A: 19 631

• Ferguson leaves. He removed the pages with a nice sequence to draw a swing on an exterior slurve after being below the area with a cutter. He then passes Scott short.

• Ferguson is now found in a jam with an output. Probably the biggest in the game with Fermín in third position after a Nootbaar field.

• Cruz, IKF and Gonzales all converge on a ball in the shallow central field. Gonzales leaves and he bounces his glove. Fermín finds himself in second position.

• End of the sixth round: Horwitz is going out for the second time tonight. He took into account the two pirate’s stick withdrawal this evening.

• IKF saw seven throws in this At-Bat, I don’t remember many pirates who saw so many throws this evening. Pallante has 72 locations with two withdrawals in the sixth. It was in and around the area all night.

• Contreras has left this evening match with a bruise on the left. Its X -rays were negative and its status is daily.

• Ferguson works a quick round 1-2-3 and uses seven locations to obtain withdrawal and two terminals. Good efficiency there because it was aggressive and in the area. Throw away a ground outside.

• Pirates became again in order during this last round. They contact, the bullets simply do not fall or they are struck by someone. Scott made a very nice plug for Rob Pham at once to finish the fifth. Just a good defense played tonight.

• And it will be Ferguson. Skenes ends with 5 IP, 5 h, 0 er, 1 bb, 5 ks and 88 throws. The cardinals dotted 25 throws and put 13 at stake.

• Caleb Ferguson is in the pen. The cardinals have at least two left -handers due to this round.

• Skenes works its first round 1-2-3 of the match and it takes 13 throws. He has up to 88 throws. The lift enclosure stirred. We will see if he has another round in him, or at least part of one.

• End of the fourth round: Man, Winn proves what he is capable of again. Make a very nice backhand and shoot Gonzales at the start.

• McCutchen obtains the pirates in the successful column, but it is quickly erased by a double game 4-6-3. It was examined, but Reynolds did not even wait for the official call. He just got out of the field.

• The cardinals make Skenes work this evening. He launched 75 throws, but 24 were at fault and 11 were put into play. He only drew five puffs tonight.

• Contreras has now left the game. Burleson moved first and Garrett Hampson entered the right.

• What PHAM throw to cut the counters on the plate on a single left field. He absolutely killed it at least a few feet. Intelligent decision of Hayes to let him pass and save another race. Bats may not appear for Skenes, but the defense is certainly.

• Skenes is already 70 throws with one here in the fourth. I cannot imagine that he can work deeply in the game at this stage.

• Fermín appears a blow and Skenes disperses from the mound to catch it. He almost collided with Horwitz in the process. Big out with the runners the first and the second.

• Fans flow from counterras while he takes his time to be checked. He removes his shot gloves and digs at the beginning.

• I can’t imagine what Contreras feels right now. It was 99 MPH on the hands. Yikes! It is followed at first. Walking slowly throughout the line.

• End of the third round: Another round of less than 10 for Pallante while the pirates go 1-2-3. The pirates scored an average of two points per game when Skenes is in the match this year.

• WOW! Another head game by IKF. He caught a line of burleson, checked Scott in the third and pulled to double Donovan. Skenes door of a big jam right there and potentially an economist a race. Nice Horwitz taking on the backend too.

• Scott barely beaten a diving horwitz in the bag there, and I mean barely.

• First time during this sequence of four consecutive victories that the pirates were not successful during the first two rounds.

• End of the second round: The pirates descend quickly. Pallant used eight locations.

• Skenes uses a beautiful sequence to take pages to appearance of the pages. I left with a sweeper, trying to run it, then returned with a frinque that catches the bottom of the area.

• Skenes missed with a change of 2-2 and a flashy 3-2 under the area, distributing his first free pass in Nootbar. It is already at 30 locations. I have the impression that these are the situations where you have to go directly to the guys to be more efficient.

• Skenes absolutely deceived Fermín with a curve ball from the third round before inducing a development of 5-3. One of the worst swings of the day so far before going to a cursor on the outside edge. There are two.

• End of first round: First base referee Sta water I have a few hoots for this checking of swing checked on Gonzales. But he went after seeing the replay. His development to court it returns to Skenes.

• I have to like a McCutchen bat throw after shooting a walk. The best of the game.
Pallante did not really give him something good outside of a quick ball on the outside edge and McCutchen has bitten anything outside the area.

• Horwitz ends at the second base here to start the lower half.

• Skenes Brin Winn while he obtains counteras to align in Reynolds. It took 12 locations.

• Burleson pushes a soft soft ball to Hayes for an easy outing. Two outside, but Winn stands in third position.

• Winn then punished a quick ball at the first step in the middle of the short wall in the left field for a double.

• Yeah, it’s a great way to start it. Skenes pumps a quick ball of 100 MPH after Donovan to end a seven passes.
