Third series win-n-a-row, in fact...
They won their last one under Wak and have now won both since Brown has taken over. I'm not convinced that it is the actual manager himself that's making the difference (I've stated my opinion on the Wak firing here) but I will admit that the "idea" of shaking things up likely sparked a little fire in some that needed sparking (shouldn't be that way with professional athletes who are paid millions of dollars to play a game ~that should be motivation itself~ but it is, they are also human, after-all).
Way to go (again!) pitching ...
Another quality start from Jason and great relief (this time from Garrett and Jamey)
As for the O, it was the Josh Bard Show ...
A triple shy of the cycle with the homer being an granny! Apparently, he had told his 4-year-old, birthday celebrating daughter prior to the game that he'd hit a homer for her - nice when promises are kept :-) Russell and Casey also checked in with long balls.
