Game 2: Lopez vs. Cobb
This game was drunk: Featuring 23 LOB, 3 errors, and 3 blown saves. Both teams traded
match-stick scoring and entered the top of the 9th with Oakland trailing by a single run.
Down to their final out, Mateo, Mazorena, and Betts strung together 3 singles in a row
to tie things up and send closer Raisel Iglesias to the showers.
Catcher Will Smith led off the 10th by reaching 2nd due to a pitching error. A sac fly
and Josh Fuentes single later had him scoring the go-ahead run. However, Montreal was
able to tie things up in the bottom of the 10th when Hunter Renfroe managed to homer to
deep center (following more A/C maintenance). The 11th was scoreless, but the A's again
took the lead in the 12th when Josh Fuentes scored following a pair of singles and
Randy Arozarena heroically hustling to 1st to beat out a double-play.
In the bottom of the inning, it was Oakland's turn to open the inning by botching a
routine throw, allowing the tying run (Grisham) to reach 2nd on an error. Timeless
slugger Brandon Crawford was intentionally walked to set up the double-play as Grisham
had advanced on a sacrifice. However, this angered the Baseball Gods as the next batter,
Hunter Renfroe, walked us off with a double into the corner as the 35-year-old Crawford
scored all the way from 1st. Expos 6, A's 5.
Expos lead 2-0.
