As Ka’ai Tom stepped up to the plate in the top of the ninth inning of Pittsburgh’s 8-0 loss at Coors Field on Tuesday, with the Pirates just three outs away from being on the wrong end of a no-hitter, he thought to himself: “Don’t worry about the moment.”
“Just don t worry about the moment,” Tom recalled. “Just go up there and continue to be aggressive and just understand, just really hone into your approach. And just think up the middle and don t be so hesitant.
“Just go up there and just keep swinging.”
Facing the Rockies’ ace, Germán Márquez, who, to that point, had no-hit the Pirates through eight innings, Tom swung and missed at a first-pitch knuckle-curve.
