Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress
Well...a bit overdue for an update. We defeated the D'Backs in 5 games to reach the World Series. The Rays defeated the Indians in 7 games to reach the Fall Classic as well.
I won game 1 of the series as Wainwright outdueled Matt Moore to win the game 2-1. Brett Gardner came up with the game winning RBI in the top of the 9th, after Tavares (man its hard playing with him)
In Game 2, we lost 6-4. Wacha got in trouble early but we fought back and our bullpen lost the game. Series Tied 1-1
Game 3, we fell behind 6-1 after 4 innings, and was down 5-0 before we recorded our first out in the 1st. Joe Kelly threw 30 pitches and gave up 2 homers, 2 doubles and 5 runs without recording an out. Jaime Garcia quickly came in and righted the ship. We stormed back with a 5 run 6th to tie the game and added one more in the 7th and 8th to go ahead 8-6 and closed out the game without giving up a hit. Cards lead 2-1.
Game 4 appeared to be another pitchers duel as the Rays threw Moore on short rest against Shelby Miller. We took and early 1-0 lead, but Miller gave up the tying run on a James Loney basehit to score Desmond Jennings in the 5th. We turned to our bullpen which pitched 4 strong innings yielding only one run. Holliday hit a go ahead homer in the 6th to make it 2-1 and then all the sudden the on-slaught started as we went on to score 4 more to blow the lead open to 6-1 after 6. In the 7th we added two more to make it 8-1. Leone, Choate, Siegrist, and Motte closed out the game to give us an 8-2 victory and a 3-1 lead in the series.
Game 5 is tonight as we will put Wainwright on the mound to face David Price, who is pitching on three days rest. Hopefully we can close it out here in Busch and not have to go back to Tampa Bay to close out the series.
I love October baseball!
