Denver vs. Philly Game 4

Denver goes with their 2006 first round pick Bartolo Fatone against former #1 overall pick Lee Harvey Oswalt on 3 days rest. Denver scores 1 in the first on a Renseller sacrifice fly. In the bottom of the inning, Taylor gets on base and Fatone surrenders a 2 run homer. At this point, the Cheese is starting to regret his decision to go with Fatone over the veteran lefty Bob Robertson, especially with big lefty Paul White coming up. But Cheese sticks with Fatone who gets out of the inning. In the 2nd, Denver ties it on a Jason Hopper double that scores Keith Cerrano (How about those Denver outfielders this year?). In the 4th, Stan Marsh and Keith Cerrano hit solo homers off Oswalt to make it 4-2. Meanwhile, Fatone settled down and started to handle the potent Philly lineup. In the top of the 5th, Fatone helps himself with a leadoff single. After Butters hits into a fielding error by the shortstop, Joey Renseller hits a gapper to make it 5-2, and put runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Stan Marsh follows with a sacrifice fly to give Denver a 6-2 lead. In the bottom of the 6th, Ruiz gets an RBI double to make it 6-3, and Denver goes to the bullpen. Fatone goes 5.2-5-3-3-3-4, not too bad for the #4 starter in the playoffs, let alone a rookie with one month experience. Denver's bullpen does the job and in the 8th, Denver gets all the insurance runs they will need courtesy of a pinch hit 3 run homerun from Ron Vineyard. Final Score, Denver 10 Philadelphia 5. Denver leads the series 3-1.
