[manchild98]

Some stupid base running by Springer helps us strand his leadoff double.

 

[manchild98]

Miggy with an rbi single after a lead off walk to Kinsler and a great bunt single by Maybin. Can't believe Miggy made it safely to 3rd on that single by VMart.

 

[manchild98]

Miggy's aggressive base running paid of. Upton 2 out single scores Miggy. 2-0.

 

[manchild98]

McCann has himself a bases loaded opportunity and delivers a grand slam!!!!! 6-0.

He must be feeling great after his last 2 at bats.

EDIT: 1st career grand slam....no doubter.

 

[cmlfactor]

I might have to stop giving McCann crap for a while. He's been huge the last couple of days.

 

[manchild98]

Iggy grounds out to short to end the 1st. But the Tigers bat around in the 1st and lead 6-0! Still not safe with Pelfrey on the hill.

BTW, Phillies batted around in the 8th inning yesterday and never recorded a hit. Walks, FC and errors.

 

[manchild98]

Useless stat info....Keuchel had given up 9 1st inning runs in 21 starts before today.

 

[manchild98]

Pelfrey loads the bases and then falls behind 2-0 to Correa in the 3rd but escapes with no damage.

 

[tigermud]

pelfrey being pelfrey getting out of self created jams.

 

[biggunsbob]

Did freakin McCann hit a grand slam !!!!!!

 

[biggunsbob]

I'm out helping my sister so I missed it all!!!

 

[tigermud]

I missed it also, but yes McCann hit a grand slam, that's two games in a row we got a nice unexpected surprise from McCanns bat..

 

[manchild98]

Did freakin McCann hit a grand slam !!!!!!

Smacked it deep to left center too.

 

[turok]

If Ausmus lets you stay in the game, shock the hell out of me by pitching 6 scoreless, Mikey.

 

[manchild98]

Damn, I was gonna call that Miggy home run too...even to right field.

7-0

 

[manchild98]

Now that it's 7-0 and creeping later into the game, how much longer before Miggy or VMart get plunked since Pelfrey hit Altuve earlier?

 

[gotime909]

Flipped the game off for a bit, Pelfrey hurt?

 

[manchild98]

Flipped the game off for a bit, Pelfrey hurt?

No, pen is rested after JV had the CG yesterday...and I guess Brad decides 5 innings of Pelfrey is quite enough.

 

[turok]

A rare Aviles xbh siting.

Scores on Iggy SF, 8-0 ongoing blowout.
