PITTSBURGH -- Luke Weaver delivered a 94-mph fastball to the low-and-outside reach of the strike zone. Catcher Yadier Molina didn't move his glove. The ball brushed the corner of the strike zone and, when umpire Tim Timmons yanked back his right arm to call Josh Harrison out on strikes, the Pittsburgh Pirates' leadoff hitter didn't even bother to argue. He bowed his head and jogged back to the home dugout.
Two batters later, Weaver threw an 82-mph changeup that tumbled beneath Andrew McCutchen's bat just as McCutchen swung, leading to another strikeout.
