Another barrage of hits (14 each side) and extra base hits...
- M's with FOUR: a double, a(other!) triple and two homers (Seager and Wells)
- Royals with FIVE: three doubles and TWO homers, including one in the 9th to break the 7-7 tie
Kevin Millwood didn't have his best night...
giving up SEVEN of the Royals EIGHT runs.
the bullpen was stellar...
Steve Delabar (back from AAA without even going there, as Charlie Furbush was placed on the DL w/ a strained left tricep), Oliver Perez and Josh Kinney combined for 2-2 scoreless innings - until that third pitch in the 9th inning, from from Josh to Billy Butler, that didn't come back.
"He was the guy," manager Eric Wedge said. "We had League and Luetge down. We were going to stay away from both those guys. Josh has been throwing the ball well in the short period of time he's been up here and did a nice job getting out of the inning before."It just looked like a pitch that was up. Butler's a pretty good hitter and he got to it."Felix with the early start tomorrow!
As of this writing, they are still playing baseball in Tacoma...
Danny Hultzen went SIX and gave up ONE run on THREE hits with ONE walk and EIGHT strikeouts vs. Sacramento tonight. Little did everyone know, that wasn't even the HALF of it - now tied 1-1 Go, R's!!
