Home Runs and Triple Double Plays

HITTING
Adam Dunn was one hit short of a cycle in last night's HOU/CIN game. Normally, this means a player missed out on a double, triple, or home run. But, in Dunn's case he missed out on a single. He was just a single away from a cycle:

               AB  R   H  RBI  BB  K  LOB
A. Dunn lf     4   3   3   3   0   0   2 

2B - A Dunn (7, B Moehler)
3B - A Dunn (2, M Albers)
HR - A Dunn (11, 1st inning off M Albers 2 on, 1 Out)

So close, yet so far.

FIELDING
The other day, I wrote about a double play combo getting a double play the same way twice in a game. It seems the Pirates wanted to one-up them and turn it three times in the PIT/CHC game:

DP - 3 (J Wilson-F Sanchez-A LaRoche 3)

Three double plays in a game isn't such a big deal, but three double plays by the same trio in the same manner in the same game is not that common.

PITCHING
Dave Borowski competed for the title of "Easiest Pitcher's Paycheck Ever" in last night's HOU/CIN game:

                 IP    H   R   ER  BB  K   HR
D. Borkowski     0.1   0   0   0   0   0   0 

Pitches-strikes - D Borkowski 1-1

One pitch. One out. End of game.
