For the second night in a row, the Pirates/Reds game went into extra innings.
For the second night in a row, the Pirates lost as the Reds earned walk-off wins.
The only thing that made it slightly better than last night was that tonight, at least the loss came off a bomb of a home run hit by NL MVP candidate Joey Votto, instead of a bumbling not-catch that allowed the winning run to slide across the plate.
I've got to feel bad for Charlie Morton though - he pitched a spectacular game (especially in comparison to his last outing), and while he didn't get the loss, still. It was a great game pitched, and he didn't get anything to show for it.
I'm not even sure what else I feel like saying, other than the fact that while it is, as always, extremely frustrating to see them lose in extra innings, at least tonight's wasn't a cheap victory for the Reds. Votto's a heck of a player, and there was nothing cheap about that laserbeam home run.
Oh. And.
Congratulations to Neil Walker, whose hitting streak continues. Happy belated birthday. :]
