Game 5 Sabathia (15-10 2..93) vs Greinke (21-5 3.18)
Aces are wild with Sabathia and Grienke in this crucial tilt with the series tied at
2. The Fenway Faithful were in a near state of bedlam, knowing the series shifts back
to Oakland after this game. The normally unflappable CC Sabathia seemed shaken up by
the crowd and the equally relentless Boston lineup. Boston scored 2 in the first, 2
in the 2nd, 4 im the third, and finally knocked CC out of the box with 3 more in the
fifth. It was quite the scene in that fifth when Oakland manager Doug Glanville finally
came out to get his beleagured ace. The Boston faithful could smell blood and let loose
on Oakland's 300 pound horse as he trudged off.
Ryan Braun continued his torrid clutch playoff run with 3 more hits (including 2 home
runs) and 3 RBIs. Chooch Ruiz knocked in 4 runs from the 2 spot. Zack Greinke scattered
10 hits and 3 earned runs over 8.1 IP, which was more than enough with the fireworks
display Boston's lineup provided the home crowd.
