game 2 has commenced. grady drew a lead-off, 4 pitch walk against kenny rogers, the gambler. seemingly a good start. then he was picked off. personally, i think we got hosed on that call.

so, game 1 went well. the defense was not the tightest. there was two errors, one lead to an unearned run. but the perpetrators redeemed themselves. jhonny had an RBI double and a SF. casey blake hit the game winning HR in the 11th. ok, strike that. we only made one error. the detroit announcer just stated the error charged to casey was changed to a third hit for gary sheffield.

but once again, it was ben fransisco's world. he pinch hit for fellow RH veteran jason michaels. not too often do you see a RH bat pinch hit for another RH bat, but that is just what eric wedge did. the hunch paid off. ben hit a HR that tied the game up in the 8th.
