Tweeners 2, Goofs 2

Last 4 games, expanded rosters, at the Hooverdome.

9/15 #1 - Goofs 5, Tweeners 1.  Tweeners couldn't figure out Tanaka, whereas Robbie Ray was an open book.  Homers by Herrera, Bell, and Leon.  A 9th inning homer by Mancini merely avoided the shutout.

9/15 #2 - Goofs 3, Tweeners 2.  Goofs sweep the double-header as Ivan Nova finally ran out of goofy magic dust.  Goofs go 0-9 with runners in scoring position, but homers by Bell, Mazara, and Maldonado are sufficient.  W - Rodriguez, S - Rusin.

9/16 - Tweeners 3, Goofs 2 (11 inn.).  Goofs' 2-run 1st looked like it would hold up, but Tweeners score single runs in the 8th and 9th to send it to extra innings.  In the 11th, Arenado drove in Schebler from 1st on a H&R double.  W - Montgomery, L - Stephenson.

9/17 - Tweeners 6, Goofs 5 (11 inn.).  Duda's second HR of the game highlighted a 4-run Goof 8th for a 5-2 lead, but Tweeners get 3 in the bottom half with homers by Smoak and Schoop.  In the 11th Grandal doubled, Pillar pinch-ran, Nova pinch-hit and sacrificed, Cozart pinch-hit a comebacker, Pillar out at home, but then the winning run again scored from 1st on an 11th inning double as Polanco drove in Cozart.  Joe Smith pitched 3.1 scoreless for the win, L- Faria.
