Speakers at Eliminators

Game 1 – Buster Posey (9) takes David Price deep with Anthony Rizzo on base in the 1st, and then the Speakers bats take the next 9 innings off, accumulating 3 measly hits. Cruising with a 1-hitter, Felix Hernandez (as has been the pattern) surrenders 3 extra-base hits in the 5th, including Josh Harrison’s 2-run HR. Felix loses another 4-hitter, 3-2.

W – Price; L – Hernandez (8-10); S – Darren O’Day

Game 2 – 3 more extra-base hits in the 1st, this time featuring Victor Martinez’s 2-run HR is all Chris Sale needs.

Jay Bruce and Jonathon Lucroy solos add to the misery in the Eliminators 6-2 win.

W – Sale (CG); L – Zimmermann (7-6)
