Booyah!!! Luis did have the solid start with a little help from Peggy. #74 in the books and a chance to take the series tomorrow!! Raise it!!!!
Narrow escape from another 1-0 loss. Thanks to AAA call-up Peggy with his clutch double. Our 3 hits about on par for the year. Five more days til Haines shown the door. But any win is a good win.
