Comeback Night

The Red Sox and the Reds aren't the only teams to mount comebacks tonight. The Toronto bullpen failed to hold a 4-2 lead passed on by A.J. Burnett. Markakis singled in both the 8th and the 9th inning, his second giving Baltimore the 5-4 win as they score three runs in the last two innings.

The Washington Nationals took an early 5-0 lead over the Marlins, but Florida fought back and tied the game in the bottom of the ninth at five on a Ross home run. The teams are still tied in the12th.

And the White Sox fell behind Detroit 4-2, but scored two in the sixth and one in the seventh for a 5-4 lead. The bullpen allowed just two hits in 4 1/3 shutout innings, holding off the Tigers long enough for the comeback.

Update: With a man on first and none out in the top of the 13th, Robert Fick tries to sacrifice. The runner is thrown out a second, but Fick takes his time running to first and he's easily doubled off. If he's running hard out of the box, he's safe. The MASN team is much too easy on that lack of hustle.
