Game 1; Arrieta vs Greinke; Yelich leads off the 1st with a double followed by a Hosmer double to score the first run. Lind grounds out and moves Hosmer to third and Upton hits a 2-run HR. This would be all of the scoring as both pitchers go all 9 innings. Bees win 3-0.
Game 2; Bumgarner vs Young; Bees get the first run in the 3rd. Bees get a 2-out double by Upton in the 6th to score Yelich, who had walked and stole 2nd base to lead off the inning, Bees would get the final run in the 9th without a hit. Bumgarner starts the 9th with a Pompey single and gets caught stealing. Hechavarria singles and Shaw singles to chase Bumgarner. Bees bring in Capps who gets Martinez and then walks Belt to load the bases, but gets Bradley to strike out to end the game. Bees win 3-0 again.
Game 3; Liriano vs McCullers; Bees get one run in the first on a Braun double. Bees break the game open in the 3rd with 5 runs and bat around. Bees add another run in the 4th. Lemonheads get their first run of the series in the 5th. McCullers gets the first two batters to strike out in the 7th, but then gives up 2 singles followed by a walk. McCullers gets pulled, but the Lemonheads still get another walk to score 1. An error on Siegrist, the pitcher, for another run, but that would be the end of the scoring as Bees win 7-3 and try for a sweep.
Game 4; Buchholz vs Syndergaard; Bees get a first inning run. Lemonheads tie the score in the 6th on a solo HR by Martinez. In the 8th, Martinez put the Lemonheads ahead with a double. Lemonheads win this one 2-1.
Lymebees record at 17-11 and looking to schedule the last two series sometime this weekend or next week.
