Castillo Four, Brewers Three

The Pirates come back in the bottom of the ninth, thanks again to Jose Castillo. He doubles in Jose Hernandez for his third RBI of the game, then scores on a Doumit single to win. Castillo's driven in 17 runs in his last six games and scored eight. Pittsburgh can see fifth place as they're now 1 game behind the Cubs.

Can you settle and arguement for me?

I say Turnbow didn't technically blow a save since he didn't pitch a full inning. Is that right?

If you come into a save situation and blow the lead, it doesn't matter how many inning you pitch, you blew the save.

David, no word about the controversy (Castillo's HR-turned-double)?

What I liked about that sequence - Castillo gets sent back to second, then Doumit lines one down the lilne to score him - was that it meant we basically saw Turnbow give up *two* game-winning hits in the same inning ;-)
