Yikes. That was about as close to a double as I care to see. Juuuuuuust foul.

In indirect fashion, Homer strikes out the side.
Man, that was NICE. ANOTHER Houdini! K swinging. He clearly doesn't have his best stuff and he's still got a shutout and 7 K's.
Pirates 5th:
Pearce pinch hitting, flies a 'triple' to left center. Stubbs and Nix both look at each other and neither catches the ball as it bounces off the wall between them.
McCutchen walks.
LaRoche strikes out swinging. (3rd K today for LaRoche).
Jones strikes out looking at a 92 mph fastball.
With Milledge batting, McCutchen steals second, no throw by Miller.
Milledge then strikes out swinging on a 93 mph fastball.
After four and a half innings, Reds 2, Pirates 0.
Bailey at 95 pitches, 57 strikes, with 7 Ks and 2 BBs.

Reds won't make any annoucments tomorrow, so I guess I'll go see Zombieland.
The Pirates pitching merry-go-round continues. Donald Veal in.
Stubbs k's looking at 3 straight strikes.
Veal comes right back and walks Janish on 5.
Oh my god. Janish with a steal! Stop the presses! :O)
Grounder to 2nd, goes off the glove and everybody's safe. 1st & 3rd for Phillips.
The quest for 100 continues.
Phillips going out with a bang. Double scores Janish. Votto to third. 3-0 Reds
