anybody warming in the pen?
Lined single to right for Schafer. Heck of a game from him.
Crap. Hit and run and it squirts through the left side.
Leake is done. Really nice job today. He deserved better, that's for sure.
Marshall in.
curious...why was Cozart covering there?
Did Baker really allow Leake to pitch to guys who had 5 hits off him in this game? What is the point of having a good bullpen?

Simmons seems to almost always pull the ball, so why is Cozart covering 2nd?
Probably because tha called pitch was an outside pitch, less likely to be pulled?
The player who covers would change based on the pitch and location called, I think.
Or perhaps it's simply the way Simmons is likely to hit a ground ball.
Simmons was simply trying to get his bat on the ball. He was lucky to do that, and was so far infront he pulled it through the hole.
