Game time
Two straight walks for Dback hitters to open the bottom of the 1st
Three walks. Too bad Peralta was hacking
Marte single - one run in

Long time Phoenician!
After Greinke retired the side in order, the D-backs are taking advantage of
a Pirates pitcher just off the disabled list.
The three walks, with a stolen base by Dyson in between, followed by a hit
for a run, an error for a run and a sac fly for a run. Now 3-0.
Also a few sacrifice stances by Escobar. The D-backs finally got the word
to manufacture runs. Marte was hacking following walks loaded the bases
but at least he got the hit.

And Greinke strands him on 3B following his leadoff double.
The guys in the booth said we should walk him as he was coming up.
They also pointed out that Greinke has the, it was either, 2nd or 3rd
best slugging percentage in the league as a batter. If he had enough
at-bats to qualify, that is.
Starting his weak hitting designated Catcher instead of the power
hitting Avila is a trade-off when Greinke's bat is in the lineup. No
other Pitcher on the staff should be able to choose his Catcher.
And they strike out the side. Four D-backs in a row have struck out.
So much for manufacturing runs.

Then Dyson with his second stolen base of the game.
And now Escobar with a HR. 7-0.

Tacos!

Two-run HR!
Two-run HR!
Dyson has two stolen bases, 11 for the year, now tied for 20th on Dback all time list
Jones with solo shot - 8-0 Dbacks

Wish they would send Swihart down to get right. I would much rather have LaCastro up here right now.

Great, just great
If he had tweaked his back earlier, why was he still pitching?

Swihart with a stand-up 2-run inside the park home run.
The second insider of his career.
You don't see that too often.
11-0 going to the top of the 9th.
We'll win the series.
Unless Godley pitches the 9th, of course.
