Sergio scorched!

The most note worthy occurrence on Thursday came late at night in Phoenix, where, in the bottom of the 10th inning, Sergio Escalona served up the walk-off 3-run home run by Chris Young, as the D-Backs came from behind to top the Astros, 8-5. Sergio (3.04) will not absorb the loss, and is only charged with 1 run, having inherited 2 runners when he came in. Escalona has had a very good rookie season and will certainly benefit from this experience in the future.

In Cleveland, Justin Verlander salvaged the final game of the series with the Indians, pitching the Tigers to a 4-3 win. The Indians got only 3 hits in the entire game. Lou Marson walked and scored a run for the Indians.
