Top 9 - Twins at Pirates

Big man Matt Capps steps in. He won't get the save because the Pirates scored three runs last inning and now lead by four.
Capps might be one of the best young closers in the game. The Pirates always seem to have a good bullpen. With Grabow, Marte and Capps out there again this year, the Pirates will be in good shape. Mike Lamp lined out, then Brendan Harris struck out as Danny Valencia steps to the plate. He lines to left-cente and gets to second on a double when the ball gets to gap.
I thought Valencia's name sounded familiar. He played his college ball for Miami. He has his own Web page: www.dannyvalencia.com.
Punto struck out to end the game as the Pirates put together a pretty nice late-spring performance. I hope you, loyal readers, feel the same way about my blogging. Once again, this is Doug Kaid bidding you a fine afternoon from McKechnie Field.

Final score: Pirates 7, Twins 3
