I cringe as Dontrelle Willis goes back to the hill.
However, he shows good mobility getting off the mound to field Jack Wilson's roller, although his lob throw is a few feet wide of the bag but in time.
Jason Bay lines a single to center. He's been hitting the ball hard of late.
There are a lot of ways to score runs, Pittsburgh manager John Russell keeps pointing out. But if I were a Pirates fan, I'd be worried they've only hit 16 home runs (four by Steve Pearce, who is back in Triple-A) compared to 33 by the opposition.
Another rip shot by LaRoche for a hit brings up Nady. C'mon, Xavier, this guy has nuthin.'
I will say one thing for Willis: He's refining his ability to throw a 3-0 strike down the middle.
Nady hits it hard, but right at Edgar Renteria at short for a double play. So Willis and the Bengals are staring at a 5-0 deficit.
