He had two hits yesterday and two more today. Both were the 8 asterisk variety resulting in a pair of SBs. Casas tripled in a pair of runs to tie the game in the 6th. Mayza took over in the 9th and went two and two thirds scoreless, giving way to Romano. The first batter he faced was Yordan Alvarez who took him deep for a walk off homer... I gave it a reroll just to see what would have happened if the A and C had stayed in the game... reroll was 1 so that ball would have been out of the park vs vintage Eckersley.

The M's staked Max Scherzer to a 6-0 lead with one in the 1st, three in the 2nd, one in the 3rd, and one in the 4th... but he couldn't hold it like Raley belted a two run homer in a four run 6th and Tristan Casas slammed a two run bomb to tie it in the 8th. But EDLC had the final say in this one... he already had a pair of doubles and then rifled a two run homer in the bottom of the 8th to win the game.

Elly had two more hits including a solo homer. Every batter in the Samurai line up had a hit including Kwan who entered as a defensive replacement - so Urias gave up a dozen hits to ten different batters - a dubious achievement.

Both left the game in a precautionary move. But some say they just wanted out of the game because Kevin Gausman was ON FIRE. He struck out SEVENTEEN of the thirty-two men he faced. He gave up a single in the 2nd and a batter reached on an error in the 5th and he walked three guys in the 6th but other than that... nasty! The Sams pounded out fifteen hits, Duran and Verdugo each collected a trio of rbis, Raley stole two bases to give him five for the series.
