Crisp was next and he delivered a base-hit. Crisp stole second with some
aggressive base running. After another out, Albert Pujols struck out, unable
to help the rally. Carlos Quentin stepped into the box and drew a walk.

threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.

got help from Ramon Ramirez who earned his 3rd save. Jeremy Guthrie(5-3)
absorbed the loss.
