Game 7 Capuano (6-2 3.11) vs Peavy(13-11 2.87)
Oakland started suffering from deja vu, as visions of last season's playoff exit to the
Twins started to bubble to the surface. Fortunately for Oakland they were able to turn
to their best SP so far this postseason, Jake Peavy. Peavy did not disappoint, as he
carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning, where Jeff Mathis broke it up with 1 out.
Oakland broke through with single runs in the 6th and 7th (McCutchen RBI groundout and
Kendrys Morales solo homer). Minnesota would make it 2-1 in the 7th on a Howie Kendrick
RBI groundout. Jim Johnson would enter in the 8th to try and hold the Athletics...
Original Athletic Adrian Beltre would put the game away with a majestic, opposite field,
3-run shot, scoring McCutchen and Wieters. The crowd would not stop roaring, and forced
Beltre to come out for a curtain call. Beltre was mobbed by teammates rubbing his head
and piling on. Alexi Ogando was able to get the last 3 outs of the game to close out the
series. Final: Oakland 5 Minnesota 1, Oakland wins series 4-3
Want to tip my hat to Keith Lipscomb, always classy win or lose, and have enjoyed our
battles in the last 2 Postseasons (If I can call getting swept by him last year a battle).
