Interesting decision going on in Pittsburg. Jair Jurrjens loads the bases in the bottom of the 5th with a walk, a single, and a HBP. With 1 out, Russell decides to let the pitcher, Duke, hit in a 0-0 game. That spot had a LEV of 3.0. Duke, who was at 80 pitches, struck out, changing the LEV to 3.6. Freddy Sanchez doubled to clear the bases after Duke struck out. Even if a PH and Sanchez had failed, the reliever in to pitch the top of the 6th would have only faced a LEV of 1.3 to start the inning. Russell got lucky.
