Down three games to one, the Blues desperately needed a win yesterday. After taking a 4-0 lead in the 1st and watching Randall Sullivan pitch well, it looked like they would get what they asked for. But Sullivan and the defense behind him blew the lead in the 6th, and then let two more cross the plate in the 8th before Mickey Monk came in to relieve the Buffalo ace.
Monk was not helpful, walking three and letting in two earned runs in just 1.2 innings.
In the bottom of the 8th, Garret Kempton came in to pitch and did his best to blow the Orphans lead. Kepmton was wild, giving up two walks and grooving a pitch to Mike Hodge, who slapped one into the outfield driving in two.
In the end, he managed to keep the lead and gave Chicago their 4th win of the series. The two clubs will play again tomorrow at 1:30. A Chicago victory would win them the Presidents Cup.
