Pittsburgh’s Matt Capps (0-1) had been 15-for-15 in save opportunities and appeared headed to his third save in as many days when he got two quick outs to open the ninth. But on successive pitches Elijah Dukes doubled to right and Milledge homered to left.
“We all know that Capps is an aggressive guy, and Dukes and I are aggressive hitters, so we were trying to get to him early in the count,” Milledge said. “We knew we were going to get that fastball and that’s what we were looking for, and both of us got it.”
DUKES + MILLEDGE = MOST GANGSTA DUO/BEST YOUNG OUTFIELD DUO IN BASEBALL.
