plate and he reached on an error. Nate McLouth then banged out a single.
Andrew McCutchen was up next and he drew a walk. Freddy Sanchez was a
strikeout victim, unable to help out. Garrett Jones kept the inning going
and grounded into a double play. The teams had been locked in a scoreless
duel until the 7th inning.
