A's TAKE MABL CROWN!
Game 4 was a pitchers' duel in the truest sense of the words. The Sox' Ruiz was nearly perfect, allowing only 3 baserunners and striking out 4. But the A's Breidenstine came out on top with his 3rd postseason shutout.
In the top of the 2nd, the Sox loaded the bases with a couple hits. But Breidenstine got out of the jam with a pitcher-to-catcher putout for out 1 and a pop to short for out 2. A strikeout got the A's back in the dugout--and fired up!
In bottom 4, Nick Tapper bombed one into left center and slid into 3rd for a triple. Against a drawn-in infield, Bo McIntyre punched one through the right side to plate Tapper. That was all the offense either team could muster.
But it was enough support for a focused Breidenstine. The A's recorded the final out on a chopper to 3rd--and the celebration was on!
Congratulations to both the A's and the Sox for outstanding seasons and a hard-fought series |
