Extra Innings Makeup
The Arizona Diamondbacks stopped their latest losing streak today with a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The DBacks blew a 4-0 lead in the fifth as Pittsburgh fought back with a pair of runs in the fifth and eighth innings. The Pirate pen had a good day until the eleventh, when Salomon Torres allowed a run on three hits. All in all, the pen can't really be blamed when they pitched six innings of one run ball.
You can lay some blame on the Pirates hitters, however. They loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the ninth. But Greg Aquino held his ground and struck out Burnitz, Sanchez and Castillo to send the game into extra frames. Ronny Paulino was on deck. Maybe he should be batting higher in the order.
