GAME 2
Juan Gallegos (16-8 4.24) vs Jace Camp (8-10 3.73)
2 hitters into the game Jace Camp is out. An unknown elbow issue brings Jorge Esparza in. Neil Walker promptly homers on the 1st pitch in what would end up a 3-3 day with 2 homers and 5 RBI's.
In a, stunning turn the offense found a way to rally for 3 in the 9th to tie it 7-7!
In what felt like some sort of nightmare that played out in slo-motion defensive replacement Robbie Turner booted a routine grounder with 2 outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th to end I 8-7
- A late rally gave Pittsburgh a 9-7 win and 2-0 lead heading home for game 3
- Chris Mattingly went 8.2 shutout innings striking out 10 to give Detroit a 2-0 series lead
- An absolute stunner in San Francisco. Portland took a 4-2 lead into the bottom of 9 and Joe Wendt hits a 2 out full count game tying 2 run homer. 2 pitches later Juan Mercado hit a walk-off to give San Francisco a stunning come from behind win and avert what would have been an enormous sequence of events that would have put underdog Portland up 2-0
TARPONS DL CAMP, ACTIVATE MARTIGNONI FOR ALDS
Jace Camp has an abdominal issue that will keep him out for the rest of the series. He has been DL'd so he will not be available until after the ALCS if we get that far. Lefty Luca Martignoni has been put on the playoff roster to give us a 4th starter, lefty out of the bullpen.
