Sweet Relief! Ubaldo fails, Os Sweep! 8-7

Seven in a row. Miguel Castro got a pop up that allowed two of Ubaldo’s runs to score when Adam and Tim Beckham did not field it. The Bats made up for it.

Starter

Ubaldo Jimenez could not stop the onslaught and allowed six runs in two and two-thirds innings. Bad Ubaldo.

Relief

Miguel Castro pitched three and a third innings allowing two hits. One of them was not really a hit. But no one touched it.
Richard Bleier induced an out. Full Loogy.
Darren O’Day got the other two outs of the inning.
Brad Brach blew the save in the eighth. He got the win. Vulture!
Zach Britton reclaimed the save in the ninth.

Hitting

Manny Machado, Welington Castillo, Jon Shoop and Craig Gentry all homered.
Castillo ended up 4-for-4. Truly the offensive star of the comeback.
Jon Schoop was 2-for-4 with a double.

Fielding

A double play ball hit the bag to destroy Ubaldo. The Beckham/Jones disaster cemented it.
