A run without the aid of a hit. That's Bucco baseball this year in a nutshell.

Good aggressive baserunning this inning. Have to be that way when the offense is struggling.

Timely hitting, some luck and good base running + overrated Nate McLouth's bone headed decision to lob with his candy *** arm a ball to 3B a good 10 feet off the bag

2 runs on just 1 hit. Hurdle small ball.

Good eyes by Cutch and Pedro too to get those Walks. Get runners on and avoid DP's and anything can happen

0 on.
