• Reynolds flies out to shallow left and Peguero doesn't tag. Gonzales the last chance.
• McCutchen does a job. Gets Peguero to third on a flyout to center.
• Kevin Ginkel takes over for Arizona. LioverPeguero will be the runner at second. McCutchen, Reynolds and Gonzales due up.
• RUN: Carroll gets to third on a flyout by Perdomo and scores on a sac fly by Suarez. DBacks, 1-0
• End of 10th inning: Horwitz grounds out 6-3.
• IKF gets one into the outfield, but it's not deep enough. Two outs.
• Call is overturned. Davis is out.
• Davis reaches on a bunt. Perfectly placed. Error on the throw from BlazeAlexander. Under review. Either way, a job well done there by Davis.
• Hayes will be the runner at second to begin the home half of the 10th.
• Masterful work by Ashcraft. Gets Carroll to ground into the inning-ending 4-3 groundout.
• Huge strikeout for Ashcraft. Fastball up in the zone for the second out. Now a challenge with Carroll.
• English lays down the bunt to allow McCarthy to move up to third. JorgeBarrosa will hit for Herrera.
• Both teams have squandered opportunities in this one. Now we'll see how they both fare with the runner on second. McCarthy will serve in that role for the DBacks.
• Braxton Ashcraft gets the 10th.
• End of ninth inning: Pham is intentionally walked and Hayes grounds out on the first pitch he sees. Extras.
• Cruz swipes second. That's No. 34 of the season.
• Cruz draws a four-pitch walk with two outs in the inning. Pirates have had six baserunners tonight. Three have come on walks, two on HBPs and one on a hit.
• Per the Pirates, first-base coach TarrikBrock is not coaching tonight due to a loss in the family.
• David Bednar comes in and tosses a clean ninth. What a job by this pitching staff tonight. Shame the offense isn't supporting them.
• End of eighth inning: Just nothing from this offense. One measly hit. Two baserunners since the end of the third inning.
• Awful bunt attempt there by IKF. Results in an easy pop out.
• Davis reaches on a HBP for the second time tonight. Last time was in that third inning where they stranded runners on the corners.
• Santana escapes danger after allowing two two-out walks. Gets Suarez to fly out to left to end the top of the eighth.
• Dennis Santana now pitching.
• End of seventh inning: Pham hits a grounder that English can't handle but he has enough time to throw to the pitcher. Hayes stares at strike three.
• A: 21,296
• Cruz facing a right-handed reliever to start an inning is surprising, Lovullo wins that battle as Cruz strikes out.
• Anthony DeSclafani is now pitching for Arizona.
• Mattson comes through striking out English. A little fire coming off the mound.
• McCarthy bounces a liner back at Mattson for groundout, Kelly and trainer come out as ball appeared to hit his thigh, no concern as he stays in the game. Both runners advanced on the play.
• Suarez pops out to Horwitz, Del Castillo singles to right, and Gurriel singles sharply to right field forcing Del Castillo to hold at second base. Danger on the bases for Mattson, he usually turns it up in these situations.
• Isaac Mattson now pitching for the Pirates.
• End of sixth inning: A leadoff walk by Horwitz, his second tonight, is wasted as Cutch flies out to right field, Reynolds strikes out, and Gonzales goes down swinging.
• Carroll singles to center field, tries to stretch it into a double in a 0-0 game and Cruz throws him out. Marte's ground out to Horwitz and Perdomo's fly out to Reynolds makes it a career high six innings for Burrows.
• End of fifth inning: Hayes flies out to center field, Davis lined out to center field, and IKF goes down swinging for the eighth Pirates batter retired in a row.
• McCarthy follows with a single to left, English bounces out to third base with both runners advancing on the play. Mound visit by Oscar Marin to help slow things down for Burrows with two outs and it works as Herrera bounces out to Gonzales to keep it scoreless.
• There's goes the no-hitter if anyone was tracking at home as Gurriel legs out an infield single deep at third base.
• End of fourth inning: Gonzales, Cruz, and Pham all ground out.
• A scoreless fourth for Burrows, as he induces two weak groundouts to come away unscathed. He's at 64 pitches over four innings. Definitely had to work more this inning.
• Burrows is perfect no more. DBacks get their first baserunner on a walk to Marte.
• End of third inning: Reynolds flies out to strand runners on the corners.
• Pirates have runners on the corners with two outs after a fielder's choice off the bat of IKF and a walk to Horwitz. IKF advanced to third on a flyout to center.
• Nine up, nine down for Burrows. Picks up two more strikeouts to give him five already through three innings. Three strikeouts with the changeup. Really going after guys. Crazy to think this outing started with three straight pitches out of the zone to Carroll.
• End of second inning: Hayes lines out to Marte at second. Pham stranded.
• Pham sends a two-out triple off the Clemente Wall. Easy three bags for him.
• Burrows looking really good early on. Strikes out two in a 1-2-3 second. Nice job of mixing his fastball and slider, but he went strictly heater to Gurriel. Three straight in the zone, three straight looked at to end the inning.
• End of first inning: Quick start. Horwitz and Cutch each fly out to left and Reynolds is retired 4-3.
• Burrows got behind Carroll 3-0 and really settled down from there. Got him to line out, struck out Marte and got Perdomo to pop out to Hayes.
• No City Connects tonight. All blacks with the black hats featuring the Stargell Stars.
