Swept Away - Pirates Lose to Diamondbacks 3-1

PHOENIX - The Pirates looked to avoid being swept by the Diamondbacks, as well as to hit the .500 mark on their west coast road trip, before heading back to PNC Park.

Jonathan Sanchez and Wade Miley were cruising through the first three innings, in a classic pitchers dual. In the top of the 4th, Neil Walker and Andrew McCutchen both singled, followed by Perdo Alvarez and Gaby Sanchez flying out. With two outs, Garrett Jones singled to load the bases for Michael McKenry, who would fly out at the warning track to end the inning. The Diamondbacks took advantage of the Pirates offensive woes, as Martin Prado doubled to deep left to lead off the bottom of the 4th. Willie Bloomquist flied to center for a single, scoring Prado to give the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead. Jonathan Sanchez would get out of the inning, though, with a strikeout of Adam Eaton. Clint Barmes led off the top of the 5th with a ground rule double, but couldn't get anyone to score him to leave the game at 1-0. Jonathan Sanchez kept on dealing in the bottom of the 5th, striking out two and getting a ground out to end the inning. The Pirates started to rally in the top of the sixth, with a lead off double from Andrew McCutchen, followed by a single from Pedro Alvarez, getting Cutch to 3rd. But Gaby Sanchez would strike out and Garrett Jones would run into a double play to end the inning. In the bottom of the 6th, Willie Bloomquist tripled to center, followed by a fielders choice by Montero. The fielders choice scored Bloomquist, who was called safe at home, much to the discretion of Clint Hurdle, giving the D-Backs a 2-0 lead. Michael McKenry brought the Pirates back to within one on a solo home run in the 7th. But that's as close as the Pirates would get, as J.J. Putz came in to close the game and send the Diamondbacks to a sweep of the Pirates.
