Third time through the pitchers and Patton finally realises that his spot was in doubt and he goes 5 2/3 (for him - stunning
) and back up by a Powers HR looks on for a win.
However Ortiz blows the save but another bunt sacrifice moves the runner over in the 8th. This again can't be held (my bullpen
) but 2 runs in the 9th win the game.
The speed of the team really helps in these situations and I'm happy using it.
With the "tweaks" to the line up as well there are some HR going out which is helping. Power rankings has us 6th in MLB at a +1 as well. Half a game up at this stage is also fine. The 0-3 home record isn't nice though.
Highlight is Delus - hitting .395 very nice.
