GAME on YES and MLBN (OOM)
NEXT UP: Tues, 8/29 , 6:40 pm, at Detroit
Four-run lead. Holmes couldn't possibly blow this by giving up five runs. Again. Right?
Maybe Boone read an article recently about how starters should pitch into the 7th inning...
Sevy, 7.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K's. Very nice outing. I hope he's really back. Looking forward to seeing him against a competitive team like Houston next Saturday instead of Washington and Detroit.
Brieskie is going to need a brewski after this inning
Nice to see the stupid "go on contact from third" play blow up in another team's face.
