The deciding fourth inning tonight went like this:
- Rod Barajas HBP
- Clint Barmes HBP
- AJ Burnett sac bunt, safe at first John Buck’s error, Barajas scores
- Alex Presley walk
- Neil Walker sac fly, Barmes scores
- Andrew McCutchen walk
- Garrett Jones walk, Burnett scores
- Casey McGehee walk, Presley scores
That’s eight batters, zero hits, four runs, zero official at-bats. I’ve pointed out the Pirates’ poor plate patience on more than one occasion this year, but tonight when faced with a pitcher that absolutely could not throw strikes, they took that for all it was worth.
