Curtis Granderson's catch saved a run in the first inning. |
Alex Rodriguez's homer put Santa Barbara ahead 3-1 |
With their starter out after 2/3 of an inning, the Avengers were forced to keep their bullpen active and ready for the rest of the game. Affeldt allowed one inherited run to score, but made it through the second inning unscathed. He gave way to Sergio Santos, who struck out the side in the fourth and gave the ball to Marc Rzepczynski with one out in the fifth. Kenley Jansen, Stephen Strasburg and Craig Kimbrel followed, all keeping the Outlaws in check. The Avenger bullpen combined for 7 1/3 IP with just five hits, one walk and eight strikeouts. Their job was to let the Metropolis offense fight its way back, and they did all they could.
Elvis Andrus's defense helped Matt Garza out of trouble. |
Travis Hafner struck out to end the game. |
Outlaw Justin Verlander and Avenger C.C. Sabathia have met twice already in the World Series, Verlander winning both times. Verlander proved his reputation as the best pitcher in Brassball in Game Four, tossing seven scoreless innings with just one hit and eight strikeouts. Sabathia will need a better performance than he gave in that same game, but the Avengers will have all hands on deck in their deep and talented bullpen should he need the help.
