Marte's game-saving throw
Thursday night, Jeff Locke explained that part of what makes the Pirates' outfield so special and a "pleasure" to pitch in front of is how they disrupt the opponent's running game.
"You watch third base coaches, we want coaches on the other team to contest those sacrifice flies and what not, because that is when those guys get to show off," Locke said. "All of them can throw, all of them have speed, all of them can make plays."
Friday night in the seventh inning, with Gerrit Cole up over 100 pitches and the Pirates clinging to a 2-1 lead, the Rockies had a man on first with two outs.
