McClutch!!!! Cutch walks off with the win


So im not afraid to tell you i have started and erased this game recap at least 3 times. This game will look like a pretty boring game in the box score but man was it a fun one to watch. Paul Malholm was dealing legit stuff. He only allowed 1 hit in 6 innings 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. Then the Bullpen got a little squirly. Resop came in and pitched a great inning the Veras came in for the 8th. He was 4 batters and was only able to get 1 out needless to say the 1 run lead was gone. Lefty Tony Watson made his MLB debut and finished off the 8th with two strike outs to stop the bleeding. Hanrahan came in for the 9th and gave his typical sick nasty closer stuff. Unfortunately though The offense couldn't push anyone across to win this one in regulation. Top of the 10th rolls around and Daniel Moskos Gave up a lead off walk. Dbacks played small ball and got the run to take the lead into the bottom half of the inning. The man of the hour McCutchen HIt a double to put himself in scoring position for Neil walkers single to bring him home and tie things right back up. Daniel McCutchen the guy that in my opiniong should have came in instead of veras in the 8th came out and pitched a solid 11th and 12th innings, NOt that he was stellarly getting guys out but allowed no runs after facing 9 hitters in 2 innings. Cutch stepped to the plate to lead off the bottom of the 12th. Th guy is on a rediculous tear and tonight was no different. He worked the count full against Zach Kroenke. He swong on a bit of an inside pitch and it was hit so high it had to have hit the jet stream that carried it out. A huge blast capped off Cutch's night tonight he went 3 for 5 with 2 rbis and 2 runs scored. just ridiculous. Not to be lost in all of this is the fact the team is back to .500 and this team really has a great shot at finishing over that mark right now. look at the lineup they are sending up there with quite a few injuries. When pedro comes back and doumit is ready to play every few days this team could be very good not to mention they may actually be buyers at the deadline. scary thought i know. but for now lets just revel in the walk off shot from tonight and enjoy this win.
