Top 6 - Reds at Pirates

Marcus McBeth takes the mound to replace Josh Fogg, who allowed no runs on three hits in five innings of work. The skies brightened and it looked like the storm has passed. Then the rains came and sent many fans running for cover.
Edwin Encarnacion nearly slipped when Freddy Sanchez sent a ball his way, but he recovered his balance in time to make the play. Another sign of the rain, Ryan Doumit's bat slipped out of his hand as he swung and missed at strike three. Norris Hopper sees Adam LaRache's high fly ball through the rain drops to end the inning.
Down in Fort Myers, Luis Rivas had an RBI hit to score Nate McLouth with the Pirates only run thus far. That games 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth.
