Paul Maholm pitched a nice ballgame. Left with a lead, gave up 2 runs in 7 innings.
---
LaRoche (since it's the first day of the second half, of course) hit the ball. He had all 3 Pirate RBI's, went 3-3 with a sac fly and 2-run homer.
--
Marte got out of a jam in the 8th to get a one run lead to Capps in the ninth...
---
Double (Ross).
Homer (Griffey).
--
Game. Just like that.
----
Other problems: lack of two out hitting (we've been good at that all year, though), Michaels went 0-5, 4K's, Nate was a late scratch, and JR batted Wilson ninth and Maholm 8th. Jack reached twice out of 4 tries while leadoff man Freddy and 2nd man (Michaels) went a combined 1-9.

This one hurts. Definitely one we should've had. And what's up with Capps?
