I didn't see this game so this recap will be short, but I want to get something on record for every game all season, plus this game may turn out to be historically significant.
Victor Zambrano tears up his elbow but what made it so weird is the way it happened. I was listening to this part on the radio. Randolph goes out to the mound in the second inning, Zambrano says he ok. Then he strikes out Jones, and starts to run off the mound. Tom McCarthy says "there's only one out Victor." But he ran off the mound right into the clubhouse. The announcers said the way he ran off seemed more like three outs than an injury. But we know now he's out for the season. More on this in another post.
Another 7th inning comeback with some key hits. Very encouraging.
All told, a decent performance from the bullpen, especially considering they were called on to deliver 7 2/3 innings in a day game after a 14-inning game the previous night. The continued emergence of Julio is encouraging because with two on and a one run lead in the ninth he got Renteria out.
Victory guaranteed a win of the series against the Braves, and the 5-2 homestand I asked for last week.
