Well despite not having an AB w/a RISP, the Pirates scored 6 runs and won the game. First it was the Brewers scoring 7 and not leaving a runner on base, now this. The Pirates hit not one, not two, but three 2-run HR’s, all w/the runner at first. The longball was the only thing hurting Litsch tonight as those were the only 6 runners he allowed.
The Jays threatened in 2 innings, scoring 1 in the 4th and leaving the bases loaded and scoring 2 in the 6th and ending the inning w/a runner thrown out at the plate. I hate to pick on Leyva already but Barajas was out by a mile. Yes there was 2 out but Cito already had Wilkerson on deck to PH for Litsch so in this case I would have held Barajas and took my chances w/Wilkerson, even against a LH. Although I would rather have seen Zaun in the on deck circle. Maybe this was Leyva not realizing how slow Barajas is, or maybe he just wanted to be really aggressive, but I don’t think down 3 in the 6th is the time.
For your information the Jays went 3 for 5 w/RISP, but did hit into 1 DP. And the game only took 2 hrs 3 mins to play.
As far as the stats are concerned, well there were none.
