Off on the right foot...
It should have been easy after taking an 8-0 lead through 5 and being up 10-4 after 6 but the bullpen made it a bit of adventure before Steve Falcon put an end to the nonsense with a 5-out save which featured 4 strikeouts. Before that Jon Morales had his second 2-homer game of the playoffs, Yuji Morioka got them started early, and Tomas Laboy showed no rust by homering in his first at-bat of this postseason and going 2-3. Greg Bookhart was excellent until he wasn't, giving up 4 runs in the 6th but still making it 2-0 in the playoffs to go with 20-5 on the regular season. Dave Rose will try to get us halfway there tomorrow.
All even in the NL:
