Top 8 - Pirates at Reds

Fans swarm to the exits as we head to eighth. I'd say we'll have lost about half of the decent-sized crowd by the time the inning begins.
Former Pirate Mike Lincoln takes the mound for the Pirates. Lincoln has a history of injury. I think he hurt his ankle by tripping over a golf ball at Pirate City once. He went to the Cardinals for a couple of injury-plagued seasons, but when healthy he can be a better than average arm out of any bullpen.
Bautista grounds out to start the inning. Luis Rivas, a former Twin who never quite worked out, comes up after and flies out to the track in left field. Josh Wilson flies out to end the inning.

Pirates 7, Reds 3
