Warpigs 6, Rhinos 1

It just wasn't the Rhinos night...

All games rolled with dice and cards.

Gm1 - Pigs win 9-1. Steven Strasburg (10-5) threw the complete game.

Gm2 - Pigs win 4-2. David Freese hit a 3-run homer, and the Pigs win despite being outhit 10-5. Jordan Zimmermann (14-7) got the win and Fernando Rodney recorded his 41st save.

Gm3 - Pigs win 6-0. Dillon Gee (3-3) and 5 relievers combine for a 2-hit shutout.

Gm4 - Pigs win 3-2. Adam Wainwright (18-3) gets the win. Rodney the save.

Gm5 - Pigs win 4-2. A 3-run homer by Prince Fielder in the 7th added the cushion and made a winner of Strasburg (11-5). 5 relievers were a little shaky, but held on for the win. Rodney got the save.

Gm6 - Pigs win 3-2. Dillon Gee (4-3) won thanks to three solo homers by Lorenzo Cain, Melky Cabrera, and Justin Ruggiano. Rodney got another save.

Gm7 - Rhinos win 2-1. Fernando Rodney (8-1) was obviously tired, blowing a save and taking his first loss of the year. Tim Hudson and Steven Strasburg had matching 1-hit shutouts after 7 innings. Then Edwin Encarnacion homered to break the ice and give the Pigs the lead. Rodney then came on for a rare 2-inning save, but coughed up a homer to ARod in the 8th, and then Braun in the 9th. A somewhat fitting end to a day filled with news of steroid-related suspensions.

In 7 games, the Rhinos could muster only 11 runs on 42 hits.

J.J. Putz pitched in 5 games for 4.2 innings. That's 14 outs. 12 of those 14 outs were K's.
