“Helloooo baseball fans, welcome to Jacobs Field where the Cleveland Indians have just taken Game 2 of the World Series, 6–1 over the San Diego Padres.
Let’s get right to it — Ryan Phipps, first baseman, star of the night. Three hits, two walks, the guy reached base more times than I’ve had hot dogs today. Which, if you’re keeping score at home, is saying something.
And how about the kid? Matt Holdcraft. First overall pick a few years back, finally showing why. Third inning, he unloads one into the left field seats, solo homer. Crowd went bananas, beer sales spiked, and suddenly the Padres looked like they’d rather be back on the beach.
Padres? Well, they tried. Josh Sporn doubled one in during the sixth, and that was about all she wrote. They left more runners stranded than a broken-down trolley on Euclid Avenue. Eight men left on base, and you don’t win ballgames that way, folks.
On the mound, Jun-Seo Kim for Cleveland — steady, sharp, cool as a cucumber. Six and a third, one run, four strikeouts, and he gets the win. The bullpen locked it down from there. Padres’ starter Dave Monnin? Ehhh, let’s just say his ERA ballooned faster than my bar tab at happy hour.
So Cleveland takes it, six to one, and they’re now up two games to none in this best-of-seven series. Next stop, sunny San Diego. The Padres better find their bats or this thing’s gonna be over quicker than my last marriage.
Final again from Cleveland: Indians 6, Padres 1. Series moves to the coast.
And remember, folks — if you’re scoring at home… you really need to get out more.”
