Miami can't finish Texas

Joe Young homered in the 6th to break a 1-1 tie, and Miami took a 2-1 lead to the 9th.  Tim Sullivan started the inning as he had been pitching a 3 hitter with 10 strikeouts.  Manny Ortez singled to start the inning, and RJ Duke went to his bullpen, bringing in Bob Belardi.  Pinch runner Jose Lopes stole second and scored on an Andy Moore single.

In the 10th Miami failed to score and Texas started the inning with 2 singles off Brad Moulds.  Ervin Russell came on to retire Rickey Buckley, and the got Justin Headley to ground to short.  Fidel Duenas bobbled the ball and everyone was safe.  That brought up the pinch runner Lopes, who singled over a drawn in infield to end the game.

Utah had no trouble finishing Cleveland as Lucas Velasquez pitched a 5-0 shutout.  Florida has taken the first 2 games in New York, and the mighty Cobra are one loss away from elimination.
