Zaps at Warpigs

The Warpig starters silenced the Zap bats for four straight wins, before dropping game 5.

Gm 1 - Cliff Lee threw a complete game shutout, scattering 9 hits. Three DPs helped. Jeff Bailey made a rare start at DH and hit a 1st inning grand slam. Pigs win 7-0.

Gm 2 - The game was tied 2-2 when Miguel Olivo hit a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 7th. Josh Beckett went the distance for the 4-2 win.

Gm 3 - Curtis Granderson homered to lead off the game for the Pigs. Gordon Beckham hit a solo shot in the 3rd, and that was all John Lackey needed. The Zap run came in the 9th on a fielder's choice. If the DP had been turned, Lackey would have joined Lee in shutting out the Zaps. The Pigs win 2-1.

Gm 4 - I figured the Zap offense would finally explode vs Ross Ohlendorf, but game 4 brought the same quiet bats. Zap starter Max Scherzer pitched even better, throwing 6 shutout innings. But when he came out to start the 7th, Miguel Olivo greeted reliever Jim Johnson with a solo homer to tie the game at 1. In the bottom of the 8th, Cody Ross hit a 2-out triple to score Albert Pujols from first. Delmon Young then pinch hit a clutch single to score Ross. The Pigs win again, 3-1.

Gm 5 - Mike Pelfrey was the answer the Zap bats had been looking for. Three Zap homers helped Eric Bedard to an 8-2 win.
