Overnight Dispatches
Moises Alou took BP Thursday and was slated to do some running on the treadmill to test out his sore left calf, according to the AP. Alou missed his fourth straight game Thursday with the injury. He hopes to come back on Friday or Saturday.
Jason Bay collected three hits and an RBI as the Pirates defeated the Astros 5-3 on Thursday. Bay also added a stolen base, with the RBI being his 90th on the season. Every Pirate starter except Jose Bautista reached base at least once, with Chris Duffy adding two runs scored and a steal of his own. The win leaves the Pirates two games worse than the Devil Rays as both clubs chase the Royals for the league’s worst record.
Geoff Jenkins reached three times and scored three times Thursday in his second straight start in right field. Manager Ned Yost said he wanted his right-handed hitters available off the bench in the series against the Rockies, so Laynce Nix and Gabe Gross were in the lineup for all three games and Jenkins started twice. If Jenkins keeps seeing more action, it would be bad news for Corey Hart and Brady Clark.
