PITTSBURGH — With a one run lead, closer Joel Hanrahan came in to notch his 40th<\/sup> save on the season. But baseball can\u00a0like a rollercoaster. And on Friday night at PNC Park, Hanrahan found that out the hard way.<\/p>\n

Pinch-hitter Chris Heisey reached first on an infield\u00a0 hit to shortstop Ronny Cedeno. The next batter, Brandon Phillips hit a single up the left side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey really didn\u2019t hit the ball too hard,\u201d Garrett Jones said. \u201cThey had a little bloop hit, a ground ball hit. So we had some freak things happen that inning but we didn\u2019t give up, stayed strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

With two outs, Jay Bruce was intentionally walked to get to Todd Frazier. After battling through an eight pitch at-bat, Frazier was hit in the hand by an 98-mph fastball to walk in the tying run.<\/p>\n

Hanrahan was able to escape the inning, but the lead was blown. Since making eight straight scoreless appearances, Hanrahan has been scored upon in three of his last five outings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe games the game,\u201d Bucs Manager Clint Hurdle said. \u201cThere was some stretches where it all looked easy because he was pitching so well. He made it look easy. It\u2019s not easy and its probably what he\u2019s realizing right now, there\u2019s a greater degree of difficulty then there was earlier in the season. The volume of pitches probably caught up to him tonight more than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pirates battled back and proved to be resilient in the bottom of the 9th<\/sup> inning.<\/p>\n

With one out, pinch-hitter Jason Jaramillo hit a double to left field. Hurdle called upon Chase d\u2019Arnaud to pinch run at second base.<\/p>\n

Ryan Ludwick followed with a pinch-hit walk off single to center field to win the game, 4-3.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taught when we\u2019re on second base, one out, to just read the outfielder,\u201d d\u2019Arnaud said. \u201cHe started retreating right away towards the fence. I saw the numbers on his back and that he wasn\u2019t going to catch it. So I kept inching off and as soon as I was certain that he wasn\u2019t going to catch it I continued on home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like it was what I was supposed to do,\u201d Ludwick said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve hit a walkoff, but it felt good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have that at-bat, get down [in the count] early, stay in the at-bat, and actually, you know, not that bad of a pitch by the pitcher,\u201d Hurdle said. \u201cHis presence, he kept his hands back and got the barrel on it. Everybody\u2019s extremely happy for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rookie left-hander Jeff Locke took the mound for his third Major League start. Coming off a rough outing in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, Locke tossed his best game of the three big league appearences.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first game, I was able to go through five and give up some runs, but able to get through five\u201d Locke said. \u201cIn L.A. I went three and came out. Anytime you can do better than your last time. It\u2019s a process. I\u2019m definitely taking the mound now, the nerves are gone, the composures there. I\u2019m still leaving some pitches up and falling behind hitters obviously. The plays Cutch made tonight, I think he caught like, 11 balls out there tonight in center field. I was able to use him a lot and fortunately get some good plays out of the defense.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until the 3rd<\/sup> inning that Locke gave up his first hit of the game, a single to Ramon Hernandez. But despite giving up a second hit in the frame, Locke escaped the inning without giving up a run.<\/p>\n

The lone run that Locke gave up in his outing came in the 5th<\/sup> inning. After tossing 4.1 scoreless frames, Locke walked pitcher Edison Volquez. After advancing to second on a fielders choice by Drew Stubbs, Joey Votto hit a RBI single to left field to plate the first Reds run.<\/p>\n

Hurdle went to rookie Daniel Moskos, who struck out Jay Bruce to end the inning.<\/p>\n

Locke allowed one run on six hits over 4.2 innings. He walked two and struck out one, needing 80 pitches.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s learning how to attack some hitters,\u201d Hurdle said. \u201cI give him some credit because he absolutely had to know the dimensions of the ballpark. He pitched to the ballpark. He threw strikes. Maybe not as many first pitch strikes as he we would like, but he himself has pitched the best game he has since he\u2019s been here. He mixed in his breaking ball pretty good. He threw some changeups. He\u2019s got to feel good about his effort tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Locke said first pitch strikes is still something that he needs to improve upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to find a way to get ahead of those guys,\u201c Locke said. \u201cIt\u2019s easier when you can fill it up earlier and then expand from there. Definitely need to fill it up early and get ahead of guys and it will take care of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bullpen from there, allowed just one run over the next 3.1 innings. Moskos, Tony Watson and Jason Grilli made scoreless appearances with six strikeouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cDanny came in in a nice situation, the game at the time is on the line,\u201c Hurdle said. \u201cPunches out a very, very good left-handed hitter that\u2019s not a gimme against left-handed pitching by any means. Tony was able to follow up on that with two great sequences of pitches against Votto and Bruce again. The young men, they grew up. They\u2019re making pitches. They probably have a better feel for that role in those situations now than they did earlier in the year. They\u2019re showing better command. Grilli has just continued to take the ball and get outs, get big outs\u2026They showed really good poise and made really good pitches in critical times. All three of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garrett Jones connected with a 1-0 pitch for a two-run homer in the 2nd<\/sup> inning. The long ball was estimated to have traveled 458 feet, going over the seats in right center field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt definitely\u00a0 felt good to square one up finally, it felt like its been a while,\u201d Jones said. \u201cTo do it with a runner on base and help the team score some runs, it definitely felt good. It felt like a nice, smooth swing and squared it up. But it definitely came off the bat nice and sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n

With two outs in the 3rd<\/sup>, Andrew McCutchen hit a double down the third baseline and scored on a RBI single by Ryan Doumit to right field.<\/p>\n

The 3-2 lead by the Pirates remained intact until the lead was blown in the 9th<\/sup>, but the club prevailed in the bottom of the frame for the walk-off win.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes baseball games, they can be an emotional rollercoaster, \u201d d\u2019Arnaud said.<\/p>\n

And on Friday night, in front of\u00a0 23,632 on the season, marking a total of 1,874,283 on the year, the fourth largest season total in club history, that proved to be true.<\/p>\n
