Freddy Sanchez doubled home Rajai Davis in the 1st to end the scoreless inning streak at 20 and the Buccos increased the lead to 4-0 in the 3rd,using Davis singled in one run and Jason Bay hit a 2 run homer (12) to score two more later in the inning.
But slowly the Halos worked their way back,first with a Orlando Cabrera home run off Zach Duke in the 6th.
In the 7th Damaso Marte allowed an double to Reggie Willets that scored a run and then the always crappy B.P. Chacon was summoned and he gave up a single to Cabrera to score Willets,that run was credited to Marte.
B.P. continued his fine work by giving the game tying run in the 8th and then you just knew the game was over.
Sadly,I was correct Jonah Bayliss allowed the game winning run in the 11th.
Bayliss is now 4-3 on the season.
Stat to make one cry-the Pirates had 1 hit after the 4th inning,an infield single by pinch-hitter Chris Duffy.
Yuck.
Series continues tonight in Disneyland.
The Tribe dropped their opener in Washington 3-1 in their first visit to the Capital since 1971.
Cleveland watched Fausto Carmona get the loss to fall to 8-3.
Jhonny Peralta singled home the only Cleveland run.
Game 2 tonight in beautiful(Joke here) RFK Stadium.

Bullpen Notes
The Chicago BlackHawks selected Right Winger Patrick Kane of Buffalo with
the 1st overall pick in the NHL draft.Kane played his junior hockey for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League.
Kane scored 62 goals last season for London.
Ryan says the Hawks should taken Center Kyle Turris instead.
Turris went to Phoenix with the 3rd pick and has committed to play college hockey at Wisconsin.
Wonder if Ryan has a bias????
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats slid by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the 2nd week in a row 24-20.
Jason Maas threw for the only Hamilton touchdown,a 4 yarder to Talman Gardner,but Timmy Chang directed the team down the field late in the game to set up the winning field goal by Mark Myers from 17 yards away.
Looks like new Tabbie coach Charlie Taffe has a tough choice ahead.
Taffe was formerly the offensive coordinator for Ralph Friedgen at Maryland.
The Cats open the season for real ,one week from today as they travel to Calgary for a battle vs the Stampeders.
Listened to the Bucs game last night on XM and got the Angel announcers.
I have listened to better crews.
Former Ohio State radio voice Terry Smith was the better of the two(Rory Markas is the other),but all and all,nothing to write home about.
I would give the Mariners guys the edge of the two.
Big fight tonight as the "unofficial" world champ at 140 lbs, Ricky Hatton of England takes on Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico in Las Vegas.
The bout is for a lightly regarded belt,but Hatton is recognized by Ring Magazine as the true champ at Jr.Welterweight.
Castillo was the WBC and Ring Magazine champ at 135 lbs and has the distinction of being the only man to really give Floyd Mayweather a run for his money,having lost two close decisions to Mayweather.
Many observers (including me) thought Castillo won the 1st fight with Floyd.
Style wise this looks to have the makings of a wild one.
It is a pick-em fight,but I have always pulled for Castillo,so I will take him in a close decision.
We will be covering the bout and scoring it here tomorrow.
