    As Gaby Sanchez "trucked" around third some 6½ hours after the game began, one thought went through his head.

    "This is enough," the 216-pound first baseman said after the game. "I'm tired. It's been a long day."

    Then Sanchez laughed. The Pittsburgh Pirates have been doing an awful lot of that lately.

    Pinch-hitter Russell Martin singled home Sanchez for the winning run in the 14th inning and the Pirates earned their ninth straight victory, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 Sunday.
