anxious to see how this matchup plays out tonight because hyd as we know in his three starts with Cleveland he has given up just a total of 10 hits this Pirates team has put up 61 hits in their last five games swing and a miss on a hanging change up so a strike out to start tonight's ball game now Brian Reynolds sixth in the National League in hits the o02 swung out and Miss back to- back strikeouts and that's something that Pittsburgh has done a lot of swing and Miss now it's Nick Gonzalez 260 hitter with five home runs swinging a liner up the middle past the diving attempt of Jimenez it goes into Center for a base hit a two out single to Center for Nick Gonzalez now here's Andrew McCutchen who came off the injured list to be the cleanup man last night and he did that homering and driving in three McCutchen pops one straight up in front of the plate B Naylor called off by big Christmas and the side is well Luis Ortiz will be our starting pitcher for the Pirates he is making his 11th start first start and appearance against the Guardians and he's coming off a good one against Cincinnati where he went six Innings four hits did not allow a run and off the plate and that's at times been an issue for Ortiz here's andrees Jimenez swings and lobs one out to fairly right a deep right field and Del La Cruz gets underneath it to make the catch one out Quan back to first runner goes pitch taken for a ball strong throw and Henry Davis guns out Steven Quan that's only the third Runner Henry Davis has thrown out all year that's ripped to right but De La Cruz is there well Henry Davis helps clean things up with that gun to Second that's the second walk given up by Ortiz that'll bring up will Brennan one out one on no score swung on a tamper by the mound right side of second gloved by the shortstop Kinder FFA wasn't able to tag Noel but he got Brennan on the throw yeah I think ikf was trying to get him to stop I mean trying to tag him at first then he got him to stop and then he figured well maybe I could go and fire it to first and then have a shot back at second or maybe he thought he was out of the Baseline so a runner in scoring position so nothing else Cleveland pushing the pitch count Luis Ortiz at 36 and the Pirates Bullpen now is reeling and they need length from Ortiz and quality length tonight 3-2 pitch swinging a Miss struck him out on a change up I think I don't think he's thrown a change up since May but he used one right there and got Noel to end the second one away triolo still at first and back to the top of the order for Isaiah ker ffo now the pitch Runner goes pitch is taken high oh did he get a jump he went in basically walking triolo had that big a jump his seventh steal so now base hit and Boyd could be on the short end and it's get high in the air to left fairly deep playable for Quan and he'll retire Kinder FFA for the second out in the ending Brian Reynolds struck out his first time up swung out and missed another swing and a miss with a runner in scoring position Pirates strand a runner no score middle of the third B Naylor leads it off for the Guardians Brian roio and then Steven Quan 8 n and one hitters swinging a Miss struck him out and Ortiz struck out the last two Guardians out here in the third swing and a little dribbler to First easy play for Conor Joe steps on the bag two down yes strike three called 1 two three 34 five in the Pirates batting order Gonzalez recently off the injured list swinging a liner to the left field Corner this is fair by a couple of feet and it'll die in that corner extra bases for Nick Gonzalez he has a double starting the Pirates fourth inning two for two tonight and the Pirates second time in two innings have a runner in scoring position this time though a lead off double for Gonzalez here's McCutchen sporting a 12-game hitting streak swinging a looping pop down the right field line this ball is fair Gonzalez tags third he's going to head home and score great base running for Nick Gonzalez on that bloop single by Andrew McCutchen he drives in the run and the Pirates lead it one to nothing a 13 game hitting streak and his 44th RBI of the year one down for Jose Ramirez swing and a miss struck him out he made up his mind late on that back door cutter and Ramirez Strikes Out Swinging for the second out wow that many pitchers make Ramirez look silly that way now Josh Naylor and Naylor promptly lines one toward left and a diving catch by Brian Reynolds and Cleveland goes down in order Bay robs Naylor hitting just 187 against lefties on the year came in batting just 205 overall swing and a miss strike three change up at triolo all tied up in knots he's down on strikes six for Boyd two down in the inning still one- nothing Pittsburgh as their number nine hitter Henry Davis steps in swing and a miss he came back with another nasty change up seven strikeouts through five innings of work for boy right now Luis Ortiz has completely shut down Cleveland he's walked two struck out five not allow to any other base runners here's Daniel schneeman had a good at bat his first time up but ended up striking out down low ball four so another base runner for the Guardians they're third on the night but they've all been walks as Ortiz still has not allowed a base hit and he swings and Taps it first base side off the glove of Joe the first baseman it trickles into right field a base hit for Naylor moving up to second is schneeman and the first hit of the game for the Guardians is a deflection off the glove of the first baseman Conor Joe well you got first and second now and the first hit of the ball game for the Guardians swinging a bouncer on to second base and Gonzalez has it throws it to First inning over five shut out innings for Luis Ortiz Matthew Boyd has two quick outs this Inning on three pitches swing and a miss eight strikeouts eight straight retired by Matthew Boyd through six Innings of work top of the order bottom of the sixth Steven Quan the batter bouncer up first Joe comes and gets a friendly hop tags the bag one out and he has some sort of cramping or something going on what's what's the issue here he's pointing to his left front of his foot toe cramp it happened when he ran the first whatever it is the way he's bending his ankle I'm thinking maybe it's his calf that cramped up Ortiz is good to go he'll stay in and face Andre simz how about that was that a replay he just showed us this time he covered they made him run again yeah he not happy about it either no I'll tell you what he'll be done after he get one more out and caught by Conor Joe Act of a play by the Pirates first baseman to Rob Ramirez of extra bases and six shutout innings for Luis Ortiz Cruz with an 11 game hitting streak

running catch right as he got near the track and the Pirates leave him loaded and beaks faced three hitters two are on with one out now first and second lane Thomas was introduced as the pinch hitter and coming on the pitch is the right-handed Dennis Santana High Fly ball to left Reynolds is back nearing the wall and he makes the catch and this is going to be a double play as Naylor was rounding third Brian Reynolds leaps at the wall and turns it into a double play to end the inning that is a huge play right there Naylor was already around third and a double play on a deep drive off the bat of Lane Thomas senss us to the eighth this ought to be a heck of a matchup Tim Heron the hard throwing Lefty against the electric leftand at bat of O'Neal Cruz swinging a crack deflected off of Heron to the short stop and on the first High throw Cruz beats it out base is loaded and the inning continues well they had him out if he makes a good throw now we got to check and see if yeah where did

right that's down for a base hit one run is in here's Gonzalez to score Rowdy tles comes off the Pirates bench and drives in two and the Pirates are leading three nothing in Cleveland absolutely huge
