He gave up a single to Bryan Reynolds, but then struck out Pittsburgh legend Andrew McCutchen swinging on four pitches. Profar grounded out, but then Olson took on step closer to his fifth thirty HR season of his career with his twenty-ninth blast of the year to make the score 1-0."
"He walked the first batter he saw and then paid for it when Pham hit a dinger to make the score 1-2 with no outs. He recorded a strikeout, but then Yorke singled and moved to second on a wild pitch, then Davis singled to score Yorke from second to make the score 1-3. Davis stole second, but then Wentz was able to retire the next hitter with a line out but then Nick Gonzales singled to score yet another run to make it 1-4."
