One Pitch and One At Bat

One-Pitch Save
The Washington Nationals were trailing the Cardinals 5-2 in the 9th inning of yesterday's game. A Jesus Flores home run made it a 5-4 game and Randy Flores was brought in to close out the game for the Cards. One pitch later, the game was over and Flores had the easiest Save a pitcher can get:

                     IP    H   R   ER  BB  K   HR
R. Flores (S, 1) 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 0

Pitches-strikes - R Flores 1-1.


Pinch-Hit Grand Slam
A few days ago, I wrote about a pinch-hit home run. In a clear attempt to one up Jeff Salazar, Kelly Johnson entered yesterday's Mets/Braves game in the 7th inning as a pinch hitter with the bases loaded. He promptly went yard against Jorge Sosa for a pinch-hit Grand Slam:

                  AB  R   H  RBI  BB  K  LOB
K. Johnson ph 1 1 1 4 0 0 0

HR - K Johnson (1, 7th inning off J Sosa 3 on, 2 Out).
