Stay hot, stay hot is right. A base hit on the slow ground ball to third and Pirates have runners at 1st and 2nd. A walk to Horowitz brings up reynolds runners holding and a miss and a badly needed K and for Cade number 30 as he completes his 35th inning of work in a big first out Tommy Pham in their clean up spot today, swing a bouncing ball left side either by Abrams toward the hole off balance. Throw on the move is in time to Chaparro for the out runners will move up Triola to third Harwit in the scoring position at second. Now, Nick Gonzalez, the batter and a base hit to right field for Nick Gonzalez into the corner. Hassell has to go all the way to the right field corner and Nick Gonzalez will slide with a trip trip, triple two bucks wake up early two to Cruz. It squirts away from the catcher Adams and that will allow Gonzalez to score and the Pirates have a three nothing lead in the first for the Pirates. We will see a right hand mike Burrows for the first time. He was up briefly in April, came up in late May and has been up the rest of the year. This will be his 18th start, 21st appearance, two and four record and a 3.99 a and a swing and a miss struck him out on the change up. Abrams is gone one out three nothing pirates. Here in the first inning, James Wood is coming up the pitch swing and a miss struck him out and the change up getting three swings and misses in that at bat alone to wood. The pitch is swung on, guided up third and stabbed at by Triolo. He gloves cleanly and the toss across is right there and the inning is through a 123 1st for Mike Burroughs. The second walk from Cavalli runner goes bay from first. The pitch is a strike to throw down by Adams to Nunez and he over slides the bag and Nunez heads up the gun there and he tags out juan Bay who had beaten the throw but couldn’t stay on the base two away. It swing a ground ball to first Chaparro has it. He’s going to take it himself even with Cavalli coming over for the out that ends the inning. A walk. The runner caught stealing was big. He faces the minimum three. The nets have their first baserunner, Andre Shaar will stand in and a swing and a knuckler through the right side. A base hit right field. Rounding second is Lyle with his speed. There will be no play. He slides in at third as bay the right fielder pump just lob the ball into second base that will bring up Paul the young getting the start at third base today. His 28th start at third swing and a long drive to left field. This is way back. It is off the wall and play. So Lyle scores from third. Chaparro goes into third and De Young is into second and the Nationals on the board as the Pirates three, the nationals won , the tying runs are in scoring position at 2nd and 3rd with one out and Nunez with his seventh start at second base for the left side. Here’s the pitch swing and a fly ball left field toward the line. Pham moving back. This is deep enough to score the run. Pham Backpedals makes the catch on the side warning track toward the corner and JT comes down the line to score. Holding at second is the young. It’s a sacrifice fly to run batted in Jacob Young. The batter who kicks in delivers and a swing and a ground ball hits the mound goes through into center field. A base hit to Young around third coming home through the plate by o’neil Cruz is off line after his game tying RB I single. The Nationals have come back with three here in the bottom of the third. A clutch two out hit for Jacob Young. It’s the nationals three in the Pirates. Three, James Wood leads off 33 game bottom of the third. A diving catch made by nick York robbing Wood. Nick York at second base making a fine play. So it’s a single for Lyle, a two out base runner for the nationals in front of Andres Chaparro. He takes off bad jump throw down by Bart right on the money and got him thrown out with the second baseman York covering miguel Cairo holding up proceedings momentarily wants to see if the tag was indeed applied. He will not challenge and the inning ends, Bart moving into scoring position. So the batter now will be Jan Bay in this tie game and the pitch to bay swing a high chopper over the mound. This could be a tough chance. Abrams fields moving in quick trigger to first and out is the call. Oh Bay is burning down the line. Abrams had to hurry. He gets a low five from Abrams on the way back to the dugout. It’s ball for a lead off walk here in the fifth inning. Spencer Horwitz had the first walk in the first inning and scored on a two run triple. Now, Cavalli delivers swing knuckling one Hopper to third, good play to Young on the backhand is second to Abrams throw to first. It’s a 563 double play. Cavalli delivers swing and a slow bouncer. First base side, Shapiro has it. He will take it himself to the bag and with the help of a double play, a racing leadoff walk a minimum three batters for Cavalli CJ. Abrams. Now one out, nobody on that is a great sequence. You come in as a left hander to get lefties out. That’s exactly what you want to look like. Now, Wood who leads baseball in strikeouts. That is excellent work. And that’s a bounce back outing for Evan Sisk will be a two out walk to one Cruz and that’s a five walks today here with two outs. You almost as sure that at some point he’s going to be running. He takes off does Cruz pitches ball now low and throws up high and Then it gets into center field and easy stolen base for Cruz his 38th of the season. Yeah, I love it. That’s why it’s so important. I mean, to get him on base more often because he can change the game with that speed one on one out in a tight game and it’s Andres Chaparro, the 01 lines one up the middle that’s through for a base hit into left center feed. Lyle will be content to stop at second as o’neil Cruz is on it quickly andres Chaparro has two hits today and the Nationals have two on now for robert Hassell swing and a little pop back of short Cruz coming on from center and he covers a lot of ground to make that catch two on and two out for Paul the young who doubled both times facing Mike Burrows, 12 swung on a miss him up with an inside fastball and Lawrence strikes him out. Nationals leave two on a leadoff error. A two out walk and suddenly the veteran always dangerous reynolds on the way to Hopper out to short Abram. The short way to Nunez job by Pilkington working out of a pickle one out top eight. So now here is Nick Gonzalez swing and a miss got him with a slider Rutledge with a strike out of Gonzalez for the second out of the inning. Cruz had the last payment hit in the first inning run away from him, run away to left and off the top of the wall and Cruz is not running but he’ll get into second. Thankfully, that would have been incredible if he didn’t get to second base on the ball off the wall in left swinging a ground ball to short Abrams fields cleanly. Now fires on to Chaparro at first and the inning is over wood even though he’s 6 ft seven , he can run pretty decent over there. Daylan Lile has singled and walked twice today. Look at this out to left center James Newton reading it, he’ll get to third, easily, gets away from Cruz James Wood. He will score. The Nats are on top as Lyle does it again. He ends up but a costly year for the Bucks and we’ve got Clayton Beater as Franny mentioned, going back to back to back here ows two strikes. Wow. Good morning, good afternoon and good night for the first out next up, Gwan Be. Oh my outside edge, a jolt of confidence from his manager and his pitching coach and Clayton beer is running with it right now. They put the tying run on here in the top of the ninth. So now Horowitz from the left side and a base hit and Triolo will motor to third. It’s 1st and 3rd. Pirates have life and it’s Brian Reynolds coming to the plate here and a miss and winning. It’s a series win and Clayton beater first big league save.
