FLORIDA @ CHICAGO
Pollock (16-5 3.10) vs RJ Stanton (16-5 3.18)
A rematch of Game 1 starters. We've scored 3 runs in 26.1 innings this year off RJ Stanton and those came in the 27th inning of facing him. Today the lucky day?
Yes, it is. Guiomar Cortezo's 2 out 1st inning solo shot was an icebreaker and a huge lift for starter Kody Pollock, 8 IP 6 H 1 ER 0 BB 4 K who locks horns with Stanton, who goes the distance 9 IP 6 H 3 R 2 ER 2 BB 8 K 136 pitches and Galindo strikes out Ernesto Montiel in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded to put the Florida Tarpons in their first ever World Series.
