SAN FRANCISCO — As Dauri Moreta jogged in from the customer’s bullpen, the primary of 4 relievers who’d mix to clean the Giants’ sizzling bats and lock in a much-needed win, Oracle Park’s sound system started blaring a well-recognized tune: “Renegade” by Styx.
“I heard that and I was like, ‘Wait, no way. You’re a few innings too early,’” laughed David Bednar, who makes use of the Pittsburgh anthem as his walk-out track.
“Renegade” could not have performed on time Tuesday, however Bednar didn’t appear to thoughts as he, Moreta, Colin Holderman and Jose Hernandez pitched a mixed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in reduction, shutting the door inning after inning to raise the Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Giants.
“I think everybody you hand the ball to is going to give us a really good chance of winning because we have a lot of guys down there who throw nasty stuff and go out there and compete,” Bednar mentioned.
Bednar (1.29 ERA), Hernandez (2.25), Holderman (2.18) and Moreta (1.82) have served as pillars of Pittsburgh’s bullpen all season lengthy, Hernandez and Moreta holding it down in low- to medium-leverage conditions and Holderman and Bednar shutting it down within the eighth and ninth. Following Tuesday’s performances, these 4 have a mixed 1.89 ERA throughout 90 1/3 innings with 113 strikeouts to 23 walks. Add Yohan Ramirez (1.50 ERA) into the equation and the Pirates quietly have themselves one of many National League’s extra daunting bullpens.
“The guys we throw out there all have really, really good stuff,” mentioned Jason Delay. “To be honest, it’s difficult to catch. … If it’s hard to catch, it’s got to be hard to hit.”
Holderman and Moreta prolonged a pair of private streaks as neither has allowed an earned run this month. Holderman hasn’t allowed a run in his final 9 outings, tossing 8 2/3 innings with 14 strikeouts to at least one stroll, whereas Moreta hasn’t allowed an earned run in his final 12 outings, throwing 14 2/3 innings with two unearned runs and 21 strikeouts to a few walks.
For Bednar, particularly, Tuesday represented his first save alternative in over a month, his final being on April 29. Bednar remained aware of high-leverage conditions over the course of May — on Sunday, Bednar pitched within the ninth inning of a tie recreation towards Seattle — however on Tuesday, Bednar lastly had one other alternative to slam the door on an opponent.
“I’m just staying locked in every single day no matter what,” Bednar mentioned. “I’m always ready to pitch and ready for that situation. Whenever the phone rings, I’m dialed in and ready to go down there.”
Moreta was the bullpen brigade’s first consultant, coming into the ballgame with one out and runner on second within the fifth inning. The right-hander wasn’t all that sharp, unable to persistently land his slider for strikes, however he executed simply sufficient pitches to get out of the inning unscathed. Moreta started his outing by strolling J.D. Davis, however obtained Michael Conforto to fly out and Mitch Hanniger to floor out.
