Zack Greinke has pitched very well at home this year, two years actually, but not today. The bullpen was perfect and kept the Pirates to 5 the rest of the way. Some controversial decisions by Lovullo in this one. In the bottom of the 7th, Mathis gets on base (perhaps a small miracle) to lead off. With McFarland’s spot coming up, he goes to Alex Avila. Double play ends the threat. True true, Alex hit a hard liner, poor luck there. But I would argue, the luck was the fact that he hit a hard liner in the first place.
