Hamels works to Machado, Cole to Manny, in Baltimore. It's 1-0 Texas, bottom one. Beltre sliced a long fly down the right field line, landing on the dirt triangle somewhere between the warning track and the foul line. Machado, 9.
Miley to Odor, top 2, 1 out. Odor lines a ball over Miley's head into left center. Here's Lucroy, 1-for-7 this series with a double and an RBI. He's out 5-3, Odor advances to second. Carlos Gómez up now, Miley the lefty, has two outs, the count goes to 1-and-1. A check swing, a strike. This is the only game in town. Taillon and the Pirates bested Nelson and the Brewers in day action earlier. I heard some of it; watched some of it. I saw Josh Harrison single in Chris Stewart to put Pittsburgh up 3-2. I saw McCutchen single softly over the second baseman on the next play to make the score 4-2. McCutchen then stole second but Josh Bell went 3-U and that was all I saw.
Odor running, Gómez fouling. Now a grounder to Chris Davis's left, he gloves it, fights to stay on his feet, stumbles past first, gathers himself into a circle-back motion, dives at the bag with his gloved hand, the ball in the glove, the runner out, 3-U.
Chaw Boy vs. The Shift, episode 927. Davis grounds the ball weakly to Hamels, who makes a terrible throw to first, not an airmail but a dinker way short, soft and bizarre. Still, Napoli was able to take the throw on a hop, 1-3. Trumbo had already gone 8 in the inning. Now Mancini pops out to second.
Later...same game, though. Miguel Castro, mound dipper. Lucroy, 4-3. Gómez, 1-5-3 as the ball ricochets off of Castro to Machado, who fielded the carom and threw to first. We went to Detroit at Kansas City, bottom one, the Royals somehow up 4-0 already on Michael Fulmer. As the inning ended, a replay package led me to believe that at least some of those runs were unearned.
