Time for a recap of tonight’s titanic struggle….
FINAL – 10 innings
San Francisco 1
Cincinnati 2
WP: Cordero (2-3)
LP: Howry (1-6)
BOX SCORE
POSITIVES
–Drew Stubbs! In just his second major league game, Stubbs is the hero with a walkoff homer in the 10th inning. Just awesome.
–Laynce Nix was 3-4 with his 10th homer of the year.
–Aaron Harang has really been okay for most of the year. Once again today, he was very good only to see the Reds “offense” sputter as always. Harang tossed seven strong innings, giving up just one run on six hits while striking out four.
NEGATIVES
–TOS*
ETC.
–As noted in the game thread, Stubbs was responsible for half of the Reds hits last night, and half the runs today. During today’s game, Thom Brennaman was questioning all the called third strikes he has been taking — and Thom has a point — but Mr. Stubbs is going to be okay, methinks.
–Am I the only one who feels bad for Harang? The guy busts his butt and can’t get any support whatsoever.
–I wish I had a chance to see today’s game. I’m looking forward to the highlights.
*This Offense Stinks.
