Chapman issues his second walk of the inning along with three hits and two runs. Bases juiced.

That's it for Chapman. Lecure gets the call to the mound. Facing pinch hitter Paul.
Lecure puts out the fire. Paul whiffs. Pirates strand 3 but now lead 5-3.
Pirates reliever Veras enters game to face Votto, Bruce and Cairo.
Actually Marty, calling a player fundamentally unsound and lazy is probably worse than pronouncing his name wrong...
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Veras respects the punch and walks Votto. Joey's second walk of the game to go along with two hits and two RBI.
Bruce singles. Two on for Miggy. Go wiggy, dude!
Miggy goes wiggy and flies out to rightfield.
Stubbs whiffs. Up to Sappelt. Who goes down swinging.

Are they productive strike outs? Did they look good and try hard while striking out?
Lecure stays in to face Tabata, Jones and McCutchen.
Tabata strikes out swinging. Ditto Jones.

McCutchen grounds out to third. No damage done under Lecure's watch. Still 5-3. Janish, Hanigan and Phillips due up in the ninth for the Reds. They'll be facing Hanrahan.
Janish flies out. Hanigan up. And grounds out to third. Phillips' turn.

Game over. 5-3 Pirates. Watson credited with the win, Chapman the loss. Hanrahan closes for the Pirates and collects the save. Baker uses his entire bench except Alonso and Frazier.
