2012 DVs vs 2013 Warpigs (cont)

The series continued tonight. After splitting games 1 and 2 at the BallPork earlier in the week, the series moved to DV Park for games 3, 4, and 5.


Game 3 @ DV Park - DVs win 11-7

Warpig starter Cliff Lee got walloped early, giving up a 5 spot in the 1st and 3 more in the 3rd on homers by Allen Craig and Matt Holliday. Four Warpig homers kept it from being a complete runaway, but a 7th inning Curtis Granderson homer added to the DV lead. Mat Latos wasn't at his best, but hung around long enough to get the win.

Holliday, Craig, and Ian Kinsler each had 3 hits for the DVs.


Game 4 @ DV Park - Warpigs win 4-1

Adam Wainwright out-pitched Jered Weaver in a rematch of Game 1.

The DVs struck first with a 2nd inning solo shot by Giancarlo Stanton. The much-maligned Brandon Crawford brought the Pigs back in the top of the 3rd. His double sent David Freese to 3rd. Freese scored on a wild pitch, and Austin Jackson gave the Pigs the lead with a sacrifice fly plating Crawford. Edwin Encarnacion added an insurance run in the 5th with his third homer in 4 games.

Fernando Rodney got the last 5 outs for the save.


Game 5 @ DV Park - Warpigs win 8-1

The Warpigs pounded Alexi Ogando with 8 runs in the first 4 innings. Yoenis Cespedes did most of the damage, hitting a 3-run homer in the 2nd and a 2-run triple in the 3rd.

Jordan Zimmermann kept the DV bats quiet, striking out 10 in 7.1 innings before getting help from the bullpen.


With the Warpigs up 3 games to 2, the series heads back to the BallPork. Stay tuned.
