The last game of this trip went a lot like the first.
The Bucs jumped out to a lead in the 2nd. One error with 2 outs and then a bunch of hits (keyed by a Nate double and Freddy homer) made it 6-0---really fast. Seemed like a laugher.
--
It would end up being a laugher--but that wasn't apparent until the Sox scored 6 immediately following the Pirates rally.
Just like that, 6-6.
Ouch.
Dumatrait blew a 6-1 lead on Friday. That was the opener of interleague and this road trip.
Today he managed to screw up a 6-0 advantage. When the game is close, he usually pitches well. Very weird, but unacceptable nonetheless (these past two games, at least).
--------
After that, you just knew the Pirates were going to lose. The Sox went up 7-6 but we tied it. Dumatrait managed to stay in long enough to give up two more runs (I think around the 6th). Then, Grabow came in and gave up a grand slam to Dye. That about did it.
13-8. Final.
----
Yay, Chicago!
----------------
Sweep
---
1-5 road trip.
-----
I can't stress it enough: the interleague is upon us.
-----
At least we're back home tomorrow. Then again, the Blue Jays will have Halladay on the mound....
