With the series tied at two games apiece 24 year old Andrew Shockey was making his playoff debut today and would leave the game after six innings while allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. Shockey walked just one batter and struck out 2.

Mexico City would score our first run in the top of the fourth, but it would be a potentially costly one. Manuel Gallegos would hit a leadoff double, and then leave the game with an injury. Pinch runner David Sandoval would score on a double by Fernando Ramos and we'll wait for news on the injury to Gallegos.

We'd tie the game in the sixth without picking up a hit. Gordon Stewart, David Noble, and Julio Sanchez would all walk, with Fernando Ramos being hit by a pitch.

With the game tied at 2 it came down to a battle of the bullpens, and Dale Blevins would pitch a scoreless seventh with Brian Mewhinney, Claudio Gonzalez, and Angelo Jimenez all retiring a batter in the eighth.

Jesus Parra would pick up an RBI single in the eighth to give us a 3-2 lead, while Julio Sanchez would drive in our fourth run of the game with an RBI single. That left it up to Derin Terry to pitch a scoreless ninth to earn the save, with Blevins earning the win.

Mexico City now takes a 3-2 lead back home in the Division Series.
