Group D, Round 5, Game 1

Cleveland at Baltimore

Starting Pitchers

Alex White (CLE) vs. Chris Tillman (BAL)

Game Recap

Cleveland- 6, Baltimore- 3 -- The Indians broke open a close game with 3 in the 6th innings, taking a 5-0 lead at that point. Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Brantley each had 2 RBIs, and the Indian staff was sharp. The only setback was Justin Germano, who started the 8th inning on the mound and pitched to 4 batters, but didn't get any of them out. Baltimore scored all 3 of their runs in that 8th inning, but the biggest blow for the Orioles came in the top of the 9th when Adam Jones was injured diving for a fly ball. He'll miss the entire 2nd half of group play (5 games) but will return for bracket play

Pittsburgh at Colorado

Starting Pitchers

Kevin Correia (PIT) vs. Juan Nicasio (COL)

Game Recap

Colorado- 4, Pittsburgh- 3 (11 innings) -- 5 of the 7 runs scored in this game were scored in the 2 extra innings. A Seth Smith triple gave Colorado a 1-0 lead after 4, and in the 8th inning Garrett Jones hit a solo homer to tie it at 1. Neil Walker had an RBI triple to give Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th, but the Rockies responded by getting a Troy Tulowitzki RBI single in the bottom half. Pittsburgh again took the lead in the top of the 11th thanks to a Josh Harrison solo homer, but Seth Smith again came through for Colorado with a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the 11th. With 2 outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Dexter Fowler singled to score Ty Wigginton and walk off in a very exciting game!

Group D, Round 5, Game 3

Washington at Texas

Starting Pitchers

Chien-Ming Wang (WAS) vs. Alexi Ogando (TEX)

Game Recap

Texas- 5, Washington- 3 -- This game got off to a roaring start in the bottom of the 1st inning as Wang hit Ian Kinsler with a pitch. Kinsler took exception and charged the mound, and Washington catcher Wilson Ramos got involved. The aftermath resulted in all 3 players ejected: Kinsler will be suspended 9 games, Wang suspended for 8 games, and Ramos suspended for 7 games. Wow! Back to the game, as Ross Detwiler assumed the pitching duties for the Nationals and pitched 6 brilliant innings, keeping Washington in front 3-1 going into the 7th inning. The Rangers struck for 4 runs in the inning, sending 10 men to the plate. They were also helped by 2 Washington errors.
