PITTSBURGH (AP) — at the ballpark Wednesday.Taillon was announced as the Pittsburgh Pirates‘ nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award Scooter Gennett Jersey , presented annually by Major League Baseball to a player “who shows extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.”Clemente spent his entire career with the Pirates from 1954-72 before dying in a plane crash while attempting to transport supplies from his native Puerto Rico to earthquake-stricken Nicaragua. Taillon met the Hall of Fame outfielder’s widow, Vera, and three children prior to the game.“It was the first time I ever had the opportunity to meet them and it was quite an honor, especially meeting the namesake of the man the award is named after,” Taillon said. “That was really special. Then to go out and win the game made things even more special.”The right-hander tossed five effective innings and helped send Homer Bailey to yet another loss as the Pirates beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 to sweep their three-game series.Taillon (12-9) allowed only one run as he scattered eight hits and walked none while striking out six. He is 5-2 with a 2.56 ERA in his last eight starts.Bailey (1-14) lost his ninth straight decision, and the Reds are 1-19 in his starts this season after he gave up three runs in five innings.Cincinnati put multiple runners on base during four of Taillon’s five innings but managed only one run when Jose Peraza homered in the first. Down 3-1, the Reds left the bases loaded in the fifth when Taillon struck out Scott Schebler to end the inning on his 100th and final pitch.“I had to regroup and get Schebler,” Taillon said. “If I don’t George Foster Jersey , it ruins the whole night.”“It was a lot of grit, will and making pitches when he had to,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.Felipe Vazquez survived a shaky ninth inning, allowing Dilson Herrera’s pinch-hit RBI double with none out, before earning his 30th save. After Herrera made it 3-2, Vazquez struck out Philip Ervin and Billy Hamilton, then walked Peraza and Joey Votto before getting NL batting leader Scooter Gennett to hit a game-ending comebacker.“He’s done that before,” Hurdle said. “It seems like when the situation arrives where there’s complications, he shows how collected he is.”Bailey’s lone win this year came May 12 at Dodger Stadium.“The bottom line is winning and losing,” he said when asked how he felt about his outing.Gregory Polanco and Francisco Cervelli hit back-to-back RBI singles with one out in the third to snap a 1-all tie. Colin Moran drew Pittsburgh even an inning earlier with a run-scoring double.Peraza, Schebler http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-tom-seaver-jersey , Votto and Mason Williams each had two hits for the Reds, who outhit Pittsburgh 11-6.The Pirates lead the season series 12-4 and sent the Reds to their 11th loss in 14 games.“They made the pitches to get out of trouble,” Cincinnati interim manager Jim Riggleman said. “We had the bases loaded, they got out of that one. They got out of the one there late. Just coming up short.”TRAINER’S ROOMPirates: RHP Chad Kuhl (strained right forearm) had a 30-pitch bullpen, throwing all fastballs, and the team is hopeful he will be able to pitch in either a major league game before the end of the season or in the fall instructional league. Kuhl has been out since June 27.A GRAND FOR BAILEYBailey, a 12-year veteran, recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in the fourth when he got Taillon swinging to end the inning. Bailey threw the first of two career no-hitters at Pittsburgh in 2012.HELLO, KRAMERPirates INF Kevin Kramer made his major league debut in the seventh inning, flying out as a pinch-hitter. He was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. SS Kevin Newman was on first base at the time http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey , which surely delighted fans of the TV comedy series “Seinfeld.”BELL SITS AGAINPittsburgh 1B Josh Bell was on the bench for a second straight night. He is hitless in 13 at-bats over his last four games.UP NEXTReds: RHP Luis Castillo (8-11, 4.83 ERA) will pitch Thursday night against San Diego LHP Eric Lauer (5-7, 5.01) in opener of a four-game series at Cincinnati.Pirates: RHP Chris Archer (4-7, 4.56) starts Friday night against RHP Dan Straily (5-6, 4.13) and the visiting Marlins to begin a three-game series. BOSTON (AP) — The first delivery from Ryan Madson was a changeup that bounced past catcher Austin Barnes for a wild pitch, allowing two baserunners to advance.Things hardly got better from there for the previously dependable Dodgers bullpen.Madson and three other relievers failed to slow Boston’s bats on a night when ace Clayton Kershaw wasn’t at his best, either, and Los Angeles fell to the Red Sox 8-4 in the World Series opener Tuesday.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been able to count on his relievers this October. The group is 4-1 with a 1.30 ERA, limiting opponents to a .180 average.Against the AL champions at their chilly home park, though, that group went ice cold in Game 1.“You’re going to have to go to the ‘pen and play matchups http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-omar-vizquel-jersey , and that’s kind of how I saw it, we saw it,” Roberts said. “But they got the big hit when they needed it.”Kershaw was chased from a 3-3 game in the fifth after walking Mookie Betts and allowing a single to Andrew Benintendi.Roberts gave the ball to Madson, a key piece when LA’s bullpen covered 5 1/3 scoreless innings in a Game 7 victory over Milwaukee to close out the Championship Series. Roberts has leaned on Madson in the tightest spots this October. This was his eighth appearance this postseason, and he came into Tuesday with just 16 runs allowed in 53 2/3 postseason innings for his career.All his experience, yet Madson choked that first changeup to let Betts and Benintendi advance, then finished off a four-pitch walk to Steve Pearce.Madson recovered momentarily, striking out J.D. Martinez on three straight fastballs. But a groundout by Xander Bogaerts allowed Betts to score, and a sharp single by Rafael Devers stretched Boston’s edge to 5-3 before the inning ended.“Didn’t anticipate the four-pitch walk,” Roberts said. “But even with that, we had a grounder that we could’ve gotten out of the inning … and Bogaerts just beat it out.”Julio Urias replaced Madson for the sixth and cruised through a 1-2-3 inning Jason Kipnis Jersey , but it all fell apart for Los Angeles in the seventh.Urias allowed a leadoff ground-rule double to Benintendi — a bloop down the left-field line that bounced off Joc Pederson’s glove before bouncing into the seats. Pedro Baez replaced Urias and struck out two around an intentional walk to Martinez.Though Baez was cruising, Roberts handed the ball to Alex Wood, a move that prompted Boston manager Alex Cora to pinch hit right-handed hitting Eduardo Nunez for the lefty-hitting Devers.That matchup undid the Dodgers. Nunez took one knuckle curve for a ball, then drilled the next over the Green Monster.Wood was a breakout All-Star as a starter in 2017, but he’s been pushed to the bullpen and struggled there this postseason. Nunez’s homer was the third Wood has allowed in 5 2/3 innings.Roberts said he has no regrets pulling Baez from the game.“We talked about it with Petey (Baez) throwing the ball well right there,” Roberts said. “But Devers is really good against the right hander and to get a guy off the bench and Nunez. I really liked Alex in that spot.”
