Game 4 Iwakuma (9-5 3.22) vs J Johnson (16-8 2.86)
Game 4 will probably go down as a Postseason Classic, certainly an amazing pitching duel.
Oakland's rookie Japanese import Hisashi Iwakuma locked up with the Twins' second ace,
Josh Johnson. Both started would leave this game with the score knotted at 0. Iwakuma went
8 shutout innings with 4 hits, 10k and 1BB. Josh Johnson was electric, going 7.2 IP,
conceding 4 hits, with 10k and 3bb. The bullpens would take over, and pinch runner Darin
Mastroianni would score on a clutch single from Oakland RF BJ Upton. Oakland closer Alexi
Ogando would hold the lead and notch the save. Final Oakland 1 Minnesota 0 (11) (Oakland
leads 3-1)
