Warpigs 3, Mavs 2

Weird season series. Both teams went 0-5 on their home fields.

Gm 1 @MavVille - Warpigs won 5-1. Mike Minor went 6 innings for the win. Jason Hammel went the last 3 for the save. Matt Cain took the loss.

Gm 2 @The BallPork - Mavs won 12-6. There were 7 homers hit in the game. The Mavs hit 4 of them (2 by Lillibridge). Clay Buchholz pitched just well enough to win.

Gm 3 @The BallPork - Mavs won 8-4. Billy Butler and Justin Upton were the hitting stars. Matt Cain got the win and said afterwards, "I didn't have my good stuff. I'm just glad Edinson Volquez was pitching against me today. We were fortunate."

Gm 4 @Mavilicious Park - Warpigs won 3-1. Mike Minor again confused and confounded the Mav hitters. He wasn't around for the decision however, as he left after 7 and the game entered the 9th inning tied at 1. Dustin Ackley tripled to lead off the inning and scored on a sac fly. The Pigs tacked on an insurance run when Jeff Francoeur walked and stole second ahead of a Brett Lawrie double.

Gm 5 @Mavelous Field - Warpigs won 5-2. Delmon Young, the much-despised, had been banished to the bullpen to catch pitchers when they warmed up. But with John Mayberry nearing the end of his season, Young was forced into the lineup. In an effort to jump start him, he was placed not in the 9-hole where he belonged, but in the 5th spot. Delmon responded with a double and homer... and even successfully caught a ball in the outfield once.
