Walk to load the bases.
Baker out. He's leaving Jared in though. He should be out of the inning already to be honest. He's gotten squeezed this inning too.

That 2-2 pitch sure looked like strike 3 to me.
Pirates 7th:
Jared Burton in to pitch.
McCutchen bounces a single in front of the plate that Burton can't handle bare-handed.
LaRoche two hops one over the third base bag and Rolen grabs it, to Phillips for one, nice turn but not in time at first.
Jones takes a 1-2 pitch off his shoe, HBP.
Milledge grounds to Votto who gets the force at second, not in time at first. First and third, two outs.
Moss walks, bases loaded. Dusty visits Burton, and leaves him in.
Young flies out to Stubbs.
After six and a half, Reds 6, Pirates 0.

Fly out to Stubbs. Man, how many runners have the Pirates stranded today. Sheesh.
~edit~ Just checked. 12 LOB for the Buccos.
Vasquez pitching. Let's see, Karstens went 2, then we've had a new pitcher every inning since then. Early spring-training tryouts for the Pirates?
Rosales PH'ing for Rolen.
Adam battled, but eventually whiffs.
Bruce up.
That's the first ball out of the zone I've seen Jay swing at in a week or so.
He ends up flying out to Milledge near the line.
Nix with a doyble! Had to stick a "y" in there someplace. :O)
Hanigan PH'ing for Miller.
Reds 7th:
Righty Virgil Vasquez in to pitch.
Rosales, pinch hitting for Rolen, strikes out swinging.
Bruce flies out to left.
Nix doubles to the wall in right-center.
Hannigan, pinch hitting for Miller, strikes out swinging on three pitches.
After seven innings, Reds 6, Pirates 0.

Ramon Ramirez pitching. Rosie at third & Ryan behind the dish.
Vazquez pinch hitting for, ummm... well, for Vazquez. :O)
1 down, 2 on now after 2 singles.
