those two starts both went to extra innings: the last time he left tied 1-1 and we won in 10.
the previous time he left up 2-1, Royals tied in the 9th, we scored 2 in the 11th and we're still waiting to finish it.

14507Bullpen tries to save one for TJ this time
Shaw comes in to start the 8th holding the same 1-0 lead. Tribe sure does back House generously, 4 runs total in these last 3 starts.

Re: GameTime!™
14508Mike Aviles made it interesting, his two out error followed by a steal put a RISP, but Shaw did his job perfectly, retiring all he faced, two on strikes
Re: GameTime!™
14512And draws a walk for our hottest hitter to bat with 2 on facing Caleb Thielbar, a lefty.
Santana is hitting 274 as a RH, has a 395 OPS and a 490 SLG from the right side. Pitching change?

Re: GameTime!™
14513No he stays in, and Santana singles to score Bourn and give House/Allen more of a cushion.
Re: GameTime!™
14514Kipnis with a remarkable 41 RBI in 514 total plate appearances [but Tito likes him hitting 5th because he just might get hot again] flies out, deep, and Brantley moves to third.
Re: GameTime!™
14516and strikes out on 3 pitches.
To the 9th. 2-0 lead.
Thank God for Carlos Santana. and the starting rotation.

14517Nice sweep today. This team seems to show a little life every time they're written off.

.........................................SWEEP!!!
3.5 back in the Wild Card, but there are a lot of teams ahead or tied with us.
And 3.5 behind the division-leading Royals, assuming a win in the suspended game.
Re: GameTime!™
14519Still not too confident of them passing all those teams, but great to see another late season run. Meaningful games in September is a nice occurrence these last 2 years.
Best of all the young rotation gives great hope for next season and beyond! Nice to have a lefty mixed in as well.
