The Series is now tied at two games apiece. I think Wash said it best, this is not one for the faint of heart. I have to admit I was concerned. When he brought Ogando in to face Craig it looked to be a repetition of the first game...and it was. A single hit to right field. I suppose the numbers say that is the best bet but what about that elusive quantity known as "feel"? Lewis was surviving, and if you're looking to get one out, the man is Gonzalez. If this was a mistake, it was the same one Tony "the Genius" LaRussa made in the top of the ninth. Men on second and third, none out, a gimpy Josh Hamilton coming to the plate. The only power Josh has shown is a deep fly out against Arthur "Tuffy" Rhodes. So what does LaRussa do? He plays the percentages, takes out his virtually unhittable closer and brings in a lefty: Tuffy. Result: Fly ball to right field, Kinsler tags and scores, Andrus tags and reaches third. Michael Young then flies out, deep enough to score Andrus, and then its Feliz time.
The two heroes are Kinsler and Andrus. Their defensive play kept the game close and the two hits in the ninth and a stolen base by Kinsler won the game.
