I really had a great time playing this series with Mike, definitely a cool, entertaining guy to
chat with during the games.
Game 1
Oakland (Ervin Santana 19-4 2.68) vs Toronto (Alex Wood 11-10 3.82)
The expectation coming in would be a pitcher's duel, and did these guys deliver. The first hit
of this game didn't come until an Andrew McCutchen 4th inning solo shot would provide the game's
only scoring. Alex Wood finished for Toronto with 7 innings of 2 hit ball, only giving up the 1
run. Santana cruised to 6.1 of 1 hit ball only to be lifted after walking Joey Gallo in the 7th
with 1 out. Brad Hand and Edwin Diaz then combined to strike out 7 of the next 8 batters to
close out game 1.
