St. Louis Cardinals' So Taguchi hits a single to left in the first inning against the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The Cardinals beat the Pirates 3-2 to sweep the three game series.
MLB
Pinch hitter homers in ninth, Cardinals sweep series
BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — So Taguchi couldn't have had a much better day, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and reaching base four times. With the game on the line in the ninth inning, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa felt he had an even better option.
Chris Duncan, pinch hitting for the perfect-until-then Taguchi, homered off Pittsburgh closer Salomon Torres to give St. Louis a 3-2 victory over the Pirates on Wednesday and a three-game sweep.
"Late in the game, you can't afford to walk guys and they (the relievers) are a little more aggressive." Duncan said. "I knew he had a good fastball, I just wanted to make sure I was ready to hit it."
"That second spot was hot today," La Russa said.
Duncan saw nothing but fastballs when he walked against Torres the night before, and he kept looking for the fastball again until he got one below the knees on a 2-2 pitch.
Duncan's homer was his fourth as a pinch hitter in 28 at-bats the last two seasons and made for another rough day for Torres (0-1), who squandered a 2-0 lead and a save opportunity during the ninth Tuesday night before the Cardinals won 3-2 in the 12th.
La Russa said he didn't automatically hit for Taguchi because a right-hander was on the mound — Taguchi doubled against right-hander Jonah Bayliss in the seventh.
"When I saw Torres warming up, I figured that's who I was going to face," Duncan said. "Tony kind of gave me a head's up. I made sure I stayed warm and I was ready to go when I got my opportunity."
