Game Four vs. Cleveland

Comparing the last game to this one, I have to say that I prefer pitching duels to slugfests. Especially when we’re on the receiving end of the slugging.

We didn’t exactly bring our A-game to the mound this evening. Danny Duffy suffered some kind of second inning collapse and had to leave the game early. Nor did the bullpen do a spectacular job of keeping us in the game.

The only noteworthy moments were the unusually large number of foul balls that came close to our seats.
