Pool B, Round 3
Chicago Cubs- 4, Oakland- 3 -- Oakland scored 2 runs in the top of the 8th to take a 3-2 lead, but an RBI double by Mark DeRosa in the bottom of the 9th tied the score at 3, then Kosuke Fukudome hit a walk-off double, scoring DeRosa, as the Cubs get the come from behind win.
Detroit- 6, Toronto- 5 -- Not a well played game, as the teams combined for 5 errors. Detroit batted around in the 6th, scoring 4 runs on 4 walks and 3 singles. Toronto got back into it in the 8th, scoring 3 runs. In a play you hardly ever see in a major league game, Rod Barajas led off the inning by striking out, but Detroit catcher Brandon Inge couldn't handle the pitch, so Barajas made it to first safely. Later in the inning, Curtis Granderson dropped a fly ball, making all 3 of the Blue Jays' 8th inning runs unearned. Todd Jones sent Toronto down 1-2-3 in the ninth though.
Seattle- 7, Chicago White Sox- 6 -- Seattle jumped on White Sox starter Javier Vazquez early, getting 3 in the first, and the Mariners led 7-2 going into the 7th inning stretch. Paul Konerko tightened things up with a 3 run blast in the bottom of the 7th, but Arthur Rhodes and J. J. Putz pitched the 8th and 9th, shutting down the Sox and getting an upset win.
