Yes, despite the 8th inning meltdown by Slowey...they pulled it off. But that was too close for comfort.

Slowey was out of gas, or something, but his was not the only, or even most notable meltdown. Crain comes in with the bases loaded, faces one guy, and walks him (I think it was Crain's 4th game in a row). Then Mayhay comes in and faces two guys, giving up the granny to Bartlett and a walk, just for good measure. All of a sudden, nobody could pitch. And I can't tell you the number of times I have seen that happen, when literally no one can pitch and it gets ugly fast. Fortunately, on this day, Capps was able to stop the bleeding. God outcome, though. If you can split a 4-game series on the road against the team with the best record in baseball, that's not too bad, especially when you have lost the fist two already. brianj

I was just peeking in now and then via GameDay on the MLB.COM Web site, so I didn't get to see the meltdown and subsequent failure of the bullpen in this one. From what you've written, it's probably best I didn't see it. ;) >God outcome, though.

To bad the Tigers couldn't pull off the win against the ChiSox today to help the Twins out. But that IS asking a lot of the Tigers. ;) |
