MLDS. New York vs Toronto

Game 1:  Toronto knocks out Buddy Dervish early.  Hamburg pitches 7.1 innings with 8 strikeouts, but runs into some trouble in the 8th, giving up 2 runs.  Toronto takes a 6-3 lead to the 9th but closer Jeff Cabrera makes it close.  He loads the bases with nobody out, but gets Jay Bourn to hit into a 4-6-3 double play (scoring a run) and Keith Lee to fly out.

Game 2: Keith Lee has 4 hits, New York knocks out Zach Bundy to take a 7-0 lead.  Toronto scores 4 in the 5th off Tonka and another in the 6th, but Rudiger and Papelbrad close out the game without allowing another hit.

Game 3:  Jay Bourn singles in the first, steals second, moves to 3rd on a groundout, and scores on a sac fly by Bear.  That would be it for run scoring.  Eric Rodriguez settled in to pitch a 3 hitter, but Pedro Lewis showed no signs of his earlier injury, giving NY fans vintage Pedro.  He struck out 9, allowed 3 hits and 2 walks over 7.1 innings.  Papelbrad came in for the last 5 outs of perfect relief.

Game 4:  a rematch of Dervish and Hamburg started out as a pitchers duel.  NY was up 2-1 in the 6th, when they busted the game open with 8 runs.  Manfred Mueller delivered the big blow with a grand slam, his second homer of the game.  New York went on to win 10-2 and advance to the next round.
