WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Quintin Berry robbed John McDonald of a Homerun!
The Arizona Diamondbacks nipped the Detroit Tigers in 10 innings 3 to 2 at
Comerica Park in a hard fought contest.
Both teams had scored 2 runs after nine full innings. Finally, Arizona
prevailed in the 10th inning. Wil Nieves blasted a solo shot. After an out
was recorded, Aaron Hill came up and he banged out a single. Justin Upton
struck out, unable to help the rally. Paul Goldschmidt got his turn next,
but he was a strikeout victim. Arizona totaled 9 hits on the night.
The victory was credited to Matt Lindstrom(1-0) who went 1 inning, allowing no
runs. Lindstrom got help from J.J. Putz who earned his 5th save. Joaquin
Benoit(0-1) absorbed the loss in relief.

October 27, 2012: Diamondbacks 3 Tigers 2 (10) (Diamondbacks lead World Series, 2-1)
The Diamondbacks broke a scoreless tie in the 10th with a pinch hit home run from Wil Nieves off Joaquin Benoit, and the 3-2 score stood up thanks to JJ Putz's 5th save of the postseason. The Diamondbacks now enjoy a 2-1 lead in the World Series. The DBacks first run of the game in the 1st was unearned; the runner reached base on an Andy Dirks error, then scored on an Aaron Hill single. The Diamondbacks 2nd run came in the 4th on a Chris Johnson double two batters after a Paul Goldschmidt single. The Tigers briefly held the lead after the bottom of the 3rd when they scored in their favorite way - a 2-run Miguel Cabrera home run.

October 25, 2012: Diamondbacks 6 Tigers 5 (World Series tied, 1-1)
It looked like the Tigers were going to go back to Detroit with a 2-0 lead in the World Series, but Aaron Hill had other ideas.
The Tigers were sitting on a 5-2 lead after 6 and just needed to get through the last 3 innings. Back-to-back singles to lead off the 8th put a run on the board for the Diamondbacks, but Tigers closer Jose Valverde just had to get the three outs in the 9th to preserve the win.
Gerardo Parra led off the inning with a triple, which brought the tying run to the plate. Pinch hitter Wil Nieves struck out, but then Adam Eaton walked and now the tying run was on 1st and the go-ahead run was at the plate. Aaron Hill was that go-ahead run, and he dumped one in the seats for a walk-off win and a raucous celebration. It is Valverde's first loss of this postseason, but his 3rd blown save.

Bot 3rd: Austin Jackson robbed Aaron Hill of an extra base hit.
In a thrilling finish the Arizona Diamondbacks won in dramatic fashion coming
back to beat the Detroit Tigers by the count of 6 to 5.
Arizona came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning with 3 runs
using 2 hits. Gerardo Parra led off and he tripled. Wil Nieves was next to
the plate, but was promptly struck out. Adam Eaton then drew a walk. Aaron
Hill was up next and he lost the ball over the fence for three runs giving
Arizona the win as 47,650 happy fans joyfully celebrated. Arizona won
despite being out-hit by Detroit 14 hits to 11.
The victory went to Brad Ziegler(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Jose Valverde(1-1) absorbed the loss in relief. His ERA ballooned from 3.38
to 6.48 as he allowed 3 runs in 1/3 of an inning.
Kirk Gibson was all smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking pretty dim
there for a while, but our guys never gave up - and neither did our fans -
they kept cheering us on. What a sweet win!'
October 24, 2012: Tigers 6 Diamondbacks 1 (Tigers lead World Series, 1-0)
It was all Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers, who roll into Arizona and beat the Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the 2012 World Series. Chris Johnson of the DBacks had the only 2 hits of the game for his team, a 2nd inning homer that was the only hit given up by Verlander over 8 innings, and a 9th inning single off Jose Valverde. Verlander walked 5 but struck out 13.
Cabrera got the Tigers on the board first with a 2-run blast in the first, then bookended the game with another 2-run blast in the 9th. Alex Avila added a 2-run blast of his own in the 3rd.
Patrick Corbin will try to even the series up in the game 2 start against Anibal Sanchez of the Tigers.

October 21, 2012: Diamondbacks 9 Phillies 8 (Diamondbacks win NLCS, 4-2)
The Phillies fought valiantly until the end, but the Diamondbacks just had too much fire power in the game and in the series, and now it will be Arizona taking on Detroit in the 2012 World Series.
I decided to give Cliff Lee the start on 3 days rest in the must-win game, and Lee wasn't up to the task. He allowed 3 runs through the first 4 innings, and then gave up 3 hits and 2 walks before being pulled in the 5th. Josh Lindblom got the last 2 outs of the inning but then got into his own troubles in the 6th, when he allowed a run and was charged with a 2nd inherited run after Jake Diekman entered the game.
The Phillies did rally in the 6th and were actually within a run thanks to a 3-run Ryan Howard homer immediately followed by a Carlos Ruiz solo shot. The Phillies entered the 9th down by 3 runs and quickly were down 2 outs, but an error, a Howard single and a Ruiz double put 2 runs in and the tying run on 2nd. Pinch hitter Nate Schierholtz grounded out to end it.
The DBacks got 3 hits each from Aaron Hill, Justin Upton and Miguel Montero, and 2 RBI each from Montero, Chris Johnson and AJ Pollock. Wade Miley wasn't dominant by any means, but his offense earned him the win.
The series MVP is Upton, who led the team with 8 runs scored in the series, hit .375, and had a couple homers and a couple stolen bases.
The Diamondbacks will enjoy 2 days off and no travel, since they have home field thanks to an NL win in the All-Star Game. Ian Kennedy will oppose Justin Verlander in game 1 of the World Series.

46,111 fans watched an exciting game at Chase Field. The Arizona Diamondbacks
topped the Philadelphia Phillies by the slimmest of margins, 9 to 8.
In the 2nd inning Arizona went on top for good plating one baserunner. After
an out was recorded, A.J. Pollock ripped a solo home run. After another out,
Adam Eaton got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim. Philadelphia
threatened in the 9th but Arizona was able to put down the rally.
The victory went to Wade Miley(2-1) who went 5 and 1/3 innings, allowing 4
runs. J.J. Putz recorded the save, his 4th. Cliff Lee(3-1) was the losing
pitcher. He got hammered, allowing 8 hits and 3 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.
October 19, 2012: Diamondbacks 10 Phillies 9 (Diamondbacks lead NLCS, 3-2)
The Phillies offense finally shows some sign of life, but unfortunately it's on the same day that the Phillies pitchers give up 10 runs. The Phillies fall one run short and are now need to win the next 2 games in Arizona in order to get to the World Series.
The Diamondbacks had less hits but were more efficient in their scoring, including four runs on one hit when AJ Pollock hit a 4th inning grand slam.

A.J. Pollock collected 4 RBI with one swing of the bat as the Arizona
Diamondbacks bested the Philadelphia Phillies 10 to 9 at Citizens Bank
Park.
Pollock had a big day against Philadelphia. He doubled in the 3rd inning and
emptied the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 4th inning. Even though
they scored in 6 different innings, Philadelphia was not able to pull off the
win.
Trevor Cahill(3-0) went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 7 runs for the victory.
J.J. Putz recorded his 3rd save. Cole Hamels(0-2) ended up with the loss.
He was unable to control the Arizona offense and allowed 8 hits and 3 walks
in 4 and 1/3 innings.
'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said Cahill, 'I got burned on
a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.'
October 18, 2012: Tigers 5 A's 4 (Tigers win ALCS, 4-1)
A team that had a losing record during the regular season is going to the World Series for the first time ever, as the Detroit Tigers finish off the Oakland A's in 5 games. The game started out catastrophic for the A's and their starter Tommy Milone. Tigers leadoff hitter Austin Jackson reached on an error from A's RF Josh Reddick, then Omar Infante singled and Milone issued walks to Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, the 2nd pushing across Jackson. Delmon Young then delivered the death blow, a bases-clearing blast that put the Tigers up 5-0 and Milone out of the game. The A's bullpen did their part, and Reddick atoned for his error with a 2-run homer in the 6th and a 2-run single in the 8th, but the A's rally was shut down when Joaquin Benoit got Yoenis Cespedes to ground into a double play to end the 8th. The A's went quietly in the 9th.
The Tigers were the AL Champion in real life as well, getting swept by the Giants in the World Series.
The series MVP is Cabrera, who hit .438 for the series and hit 3 HR with 7 RBI. He also led the team with 5 runs scored.
The extra days off will line up Justin Verlander for a game 1 start in either Arizona or Philadelphia.

The Detroit Tigers and the Oakland Athletics locked up in an exciting one-run
game at O.co Coliseum. The final score was the Detroit Tigers 5, the Oakland
Athletics 4.
Detroit delivered all the runs required in the 1st inning as they scored 5
runs on 2 base hits. That scoring would be all that was needed. Detroit had
only 5 hits for the night.
The win was credited to Doug Fister(3-0) who went 7 innings allowing 4 runs.
Jose Valverde preserved the game for Fister, recording his his 3rd save.
Tommy Milone(0-2) was hit with the loss.
October 18, 2012: Phillies 6 Diamondbacks 2 (NLCS tied, 2-2)
A 2-run Ryan Howard home run in the 6th and a big 4-run 8th turn a 2-0 deficit into a 6-2 win for the Phillies, and more importantly turns a potential 3-1 series hole into a 2-2 tie and essentially a 3-game series. An untimely error from DBacks pitcher Brad Bergesen loaded the bases instead of ending the inning, and pinch hitter Jimmy Rollins made it count with a 3-run double. Jonathan Papelbon continues his scoreless postseason despite allowing a couple singles in the top of the 9th.

Ryan Howard hit one over the fence and had 2 RBI as the Philadelphia Phillies
defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks by the score of 6 to 2 at Citizens Bank
Park.
Philadelphia had the winning rally in the 8th inning when they came up with 4
runs on 2 hits. The highlight belonged to Jimmy Rollins who brought the
crowd to their feet when he doubled with all three baserunners touching home.
Philadelphia banged out 10 hits on the night.
The winning pitcher was Jeremy Horst(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1 inning.
Mike Zagurski(0-1) was hit with the loss in relief. He pitched 1 inning and
surrendered 1 hit and 1 walk.
October 17, 2012: Tigers 3 A's 2 (TIgers lead ALCS, 3-1)
The 77-win Tigers are one win away from the World Series after a 3-2 win over the A's in Game 4 of the ALCS. Max Scherzer and Jarrod Parker were locked in a scoreless duel until the 7th, when Alex Avila put 2 on the board for the Tigers with a home run with Andy Dirks on base following a single. The A's got one back in the bottom of the inning on a Brandon Moss homer, then tied it up in the bottom of the 8th when Seth Smith led off with a double and scored on Cliff Pennington's single. The A's missed an opportunity when Pennington stole 2nd and 3rd, but then was thrown out at the plate on a fielder's choice ground out. That missed opportunity proved especially disappointing when the Tigers got a 2-out triple in the 9th from Jhonny Peralta, followed by a single from Avila. Jose Valverde had blown the save in the bottom of the 8th, but ended up with the win and got the needed 3 outs in the bottom of the 9th.
The A's will send embattled starter Tommy Milone to the mound in game 5 hoping he turns his luck around and extends the series. The Tigers will counter with Doug Fister.

The game was won by Detroit with a run in the 9th inning. After two outs
Jhonny Peralta tripled. Avila next to the plate and he ripped a one-base
hit. Omar Infante then drew a walk. The game was a scoreless duel until the
7th inning.
Jose Valverde(1-0) allowed 1 run in 2 innings, and picked up the victory.

October 17, 2012: Phillies 2 Diamondbacks 0 (Diamondbacks lead NLCS, 2-1)
Four Phillies pitchers combine on the shutout and the Phillies get their first win of the series in the first game in Citizens Bank Park. The Phils got a run in the 4th on a John Mayberry home run, and another in the 6th when Ryan Howard doubled following a Chase Utley single. The Phillies offense still needs to break out if they're going to have a chance in this series. They had just 5 hits in this game and have scored just 5 runs so far in the series.

WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Cliff Pennington robbed Prince Fielder of a base hit.
Third baseman Miguel Cabrera blasted 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Comerica Park
where the Detroit Tigers beat the Oakland Athletics by the score of 8 to
3.
Cabrera enjoyed a big evening at the plate. He doubled which plated a run in
the 1st inning, lost the ball over the fence for three runs in the 2nd inning
and hit a bases-empty home run in the 7th inning. Detroit had 12 hits for
the game and Oakland had 6.
Doug Fister(2-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 5 innings and allowing 3
runs. Tommy Milone(0-1) suffered the loss. Cabrera was jubilant after the
game 'Let me see a box-score' he joked, 'I want to see how that game looks on
paper.'
October 12, 2012: Phillies 5 at Nationals 2 (Phillies win series, 3-2)
The Nationals' 2012 replay finishes the same way their real life 2012 season ended - with a game 5 loss in the division series. Nats starter Gio Gonzalez walked 2 batters to start the 2nd, then Darin Ruf ripped a triple to score both runs. Kyle Frandsen would add a single to score Ruf. The 3 runs would really be all the Phillies needed, as Roy Halladay went 7 innings and allowed just 1 run. The Phillies got insurance runs in the 6th on a Carlos Ruiz homer and in the 8th on a Ryan Howard homer. The Nats matched those 2 runs, but it was all they could muster.
The Nats did miss a golden opportunity in the bottom of the 8th to pull within a run. Ryan Zimmerman cracked a home run shot, but Ruf snatched it at the fence for an out.
Ruf led the team in runs scored, HR and RBI and is the obvious choice for series MVP.
The Phillies will go to Arizona for game 1 of the NLCS. I was already guaranteed just one team (Detroit) matching the real life 2012 ALCS/NLCS participants regardless of the outcome of this game. A Nats-Diamondbacks NLCS would have been a rematch of my 2011 NLCS, but it was not meant to be. This will be the Phillies 2nd NLCS in my replay history; they beat the Rockies in 2009 before losing to the Red Sox in the World Series.
