the concern, at that point, was just making sure he was OK.”Īlfonso Rivas capped Chicago's big eighth with a pinch-hit, two-run single up the middle that put the Cubs ahead 7-6. When you have a guy like (Hayes), that slides in and stays down for a second. “I think it went from a walk-off enthusiasm to about as hushed of a crowd as you can get for a walk-off. “The good thing is he walked off under his own power,” Shelton said. I'm not sure if I've ever had an awkward walk-off." I've had a couple of walk-offs in my career. Immediately, you're just like, ‘I hope he’s OK.'. “Immediately, the way he slid in, I think it was with (Contreras') knee or the shin guard, something like that. “Everything's all butterflies until you see (Hayes) slide in," Chavis said. Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Hayes seemed fine, but would continue to be evaluated. Hayes remained down for a few moments after sliding in, with his left shoulder crashing into Contreras' leg, before walking off under his own power. In the bottom half, Chavis blooped a single to right off Scott Effross (1-3) and automatic runner Ke'Bryan Hayes scored in a collision with catcher Willson Contreras. The call stood after a Chicago challenge. In the 10th, Chavis charged a slow grounder by Jason Heyward toward first base and threw out Patrick Wisdom at the plate. The one time when you're not trying to do it, it does show up that way.” Of course, in this opportunity, I didn't try to hit a home run. There have been so many moments where I've been preparing to go up to bat, or up at bat, and you think about trying to create that. “Those are those moments you kind of dream of,” Chavis said of the homer. PITTSBURGH - Michael Chavis hit a tying home run in the eighth before pulling off a defensive gem and delivering a game-ending single in the 10th, sending the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Chicago Cubs 8-7 Thursday.Ĭhavis' solo homer, his seventh this season, made it 7-all after the Cubs scored five times in the top of the eighth. The Mets tossed a combined no-hitter against the Phillies on April 29, and Angels rookie Reid Detmers held the Rays hitless on May 10.Chavis stars with bat, defense, Pirates edge Cubs in 10 Had it been official, then it would've been the third no-hitter of the season. The Elias Sports Bureau does not recognize no-hitters unless they span at least nine innings. Because the Pirates were at home and didn't bat in the bottom of the ninth, it goes down as an eight-inning no-hitter for the Reds. That score held as David Bednar worked a perfect top of the ninth for his seventh save of the season. However, Alejo Lopez bobbled the transfer, and Hayes was able to beat his throw for an RBI force-out. At that point, KeBryan Hayes hit a grounder to second that looked like a potential inning-ending double play. The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the eighth, when the Pirates with one out earned three walks to load the bases. However, the Pirates managed to win the game by a score of 1-0. The Cincinnati Reds on Sunday threw a combined eight no-hit innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates in PNC Park.
