In the midst of a tough season where wins are difficult to come by, the Pittsburgh Pirates may have gotten robbed of a good chance at a victory against the San Diego Padres Friday night. New manager Don Kelly isn't afraid to stick up for his team, though.
In the top of the eighth inning with the bases loaded, two outs and a full count as the Pirates trailed by one run, catcher Henry Davis was all but sure he drew a walk to tie the game. On a pitch that missed low and inside, home plate umpire Edwin Jimenez rung up Davis on strikes to end the inning and strand three Pirates on base.
