Gotta score more. I've seen this Pirate come back time and time again.

Big stick part of the order. Need to get guys on to get Latos up. He's the thunder.

Yeah, Reds have no walks tonight and the middle of the order is a combined 0-9.

Cozart 3 for 3.

Fortunate when the pitcher gets a two run homer.

Heisey should be called "The Swinger" for obvious reasons.

It's just clockwork. Swings at everything. Why anyone throws him pitches near the plate is beyond me.

Good power, good speed, good fielder. Just swings at everything.
