2018 SLCS Game 6

Utah scored first off Carlos Padron, as leadoff hitter Jose Landry tripled to start the bottom of the first.  He came home on a sac fly from Mike Winters.

Carlos Padron pitched 6 strong innings for the Stars, who were short handed in the bullpen after the extra inning game 5.  Utah on the other hand had every reliever available except for Marcelino Lopez, thanks to Alex Bronkey's 9 inning start.

Darin Makowsky held Miami off the scoreboard until the 6th, when Devan Arceneaux and Johnny Lewis gave Miami a 2-1 lead with back to back homers. Ricardo Garza pitched a scoreless 7th.

In the 8th Miami loaded the bases with nobody out and threatened to bust the game open.  Burton and Mathis struck out before Oswipe Cabrera hit a grand slam to left, for a 6-1 lead.

Miami went to Roberto Gonzales for a scoreless 8th, and let him face Frank Lewis in the 9th.  Lewis, taking perhaps the final swing of his career, flew out to right.  Tom Knight struck out Jorge Guevara and Travis Howell.

Miami wins the game 6-1 and the series 4-2.  They will start the world series against New York at home.
