| Ryan Zimmerman, he of the 1st inning heroics, decided to contribute at the end of the game for once. Zimmerman was inserted as a pinch hitter for Adam Jones with PR Coco Crisp on second (courtesy of a lead-off double by Casey Blake) when he blasted an x-chart double over the head of DFW CF Denard Span giving Vermont the 5-4 win. Vermont was cruising along with a 3-0 lead behind a sac fly and 2R HR from Albert Pujols when they ran into trouble in the 8th. Effective starter Ervin Santana was pulled (to a round of boos from the inebriated home fans) for Hiedki Okijima. Oki got zero outs and gave up 2 hits and was pulled for JC Romero. Before it was over, the Spurs had a 4-3 lead after the top of the 8th. Vermont scored the tying run in the bottom of the 8th off an overmatched Heath Bell (the eventual loser). Greg Maddux was effective for the Spurs, yielding 4 runs in his 7 innings of work. |
