(Saturday, May 25th)
Final Score: San Francisco 6, Colorado 5 (10 innings)
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - After seeing his shot into right carom
off the bottom of the wall in the 10th inning, Angel Pagan never stopped
running. Pagan hustled all the way around for a game-winning inside-the-park
home run and the Giants rallied from an early four-run hole to take a 6-5 win
over the Colorado Rockies. Troy Tulowitzki put Colorado in front when he
homered off Sergio Romo (3-2) in the top half of the last inning, but the
Giants didn't quit. Brandon Crawford reached with a leadoff walk and two
batters later, Pagan crushed a second pitch breaking ball off Rafael
Betancourt (1-2). The hit took a high bounce off the bottom of the wall and
scurried into center field. Crawford scored easily to tie it, and Pagan was
half way to third when he was being waived home. He slid in well ahead of
the tag and the Giants ended a five-game losing streak to their division
rival.
Final Score: Cincinnati 5, Chicago 2
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Derrick Robinson's squeeze bunt highlighted
a four-run sixth inning that carried Cincinnati to a 5-2 win over the visiting
Chicago Cubs and former Red Travis Wood. Todd Frazier had two RBI for the
Reds, who have won five straight and 13 of their last 16 games. Cincinnati
starter Homer Bailey (3-3) gave up two runs on five hits, walked three and
struck out eight over six innings. Anthony Rizzo finished 3-for-3 with a walk
and one RBI for Chicago, which has dropped a season-worst six consecutive
games. Wood (4-3) surrendered five runs on seven hits and three walks in 5 2/3
innings, snapping his streak of quality starts to begin the season at nine.
Final Score: Pittsburgh 5, Milwaukee 2
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Pedro Alvarez recorded his seventh career
multi-homer game, including his third versus Milwaukee, and Jeff Locke tossed
another gem as the Pittsburgh Pirates downed the Brewers, 5-2, in the second
test of a three-game set at Miller Park. Alvarez drove in three runs, while
Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker each clubbed solo homers for the
Pirates, winners in nine of their last 11 games. Locke (5-1) continued
his recent success, tossing six innings of three-hit, shutout ball and
striking out seven in the win. The lefty has yielded three earned runs or
less in each of his last seven starts since April 23, and has surrendered a
total of seven earned runs during that span. Carlos Gomez smacked two solo
homers -- his seventh and eighth of the season -- to account for Milwaukee's
lone runs. Mike Fiers (1-3) gave up four runs on five hits over four frames
for the Brewers, who have lost four of six.
