Garland snaps off a curve for a strike to the catcher Lunsford, who's hitting .125 in the postseason. Swing and a miss for strike two, in one of those classic scenes of a pitcher overpowering a weaker hitter that you can see at any level of baseball. Way ahead in the count, Garland can waste one but instead he goes for the K with another heater. But Lunsford cracks it right back up the middle on the ground. Garland knocks it down with the glove, scrambles, gathers it and flips it to second in time for the force on the extremely slow Giambi and record out number two.
Lunsford hit .237 in three seasons in the minors, .273 this season even though he's obviously been exposed this postseason.
