Cook leads off. He takes strike one. And swings for strike two. He fouls one back, still 0-2. Ball one. At 1-2, Cook flies to Drew in medium right. One down.
Back to the top of the order, and Matsui. He takes strike 1. A slow breaking ball entices Kaz to swing for strike 2. He fouls one in self-defense, still 0-2. Now a double over Manny's head; Manny did everything he could have done on that one. Man on second, one out.
Tulo stands in. Foul to the right side. Another foul, back to the screen; 0-2. Ball one. Another ball, 2-2. He strikes out swinging, failing to move Matsui. Two down.
Matt Holliday gets a shot. Low for a ball. He's way behind, swinging for strike one. Ball two, down and in. He swings at one on the ground, 2-2. Foul, still 2-2. Holliday can't catch up to the 94 mph gas! The inning is over.
Inning: 20 pitches, 15 strikes; Game: 52 pitches, 36 strikes. Still running a little high. St. Leo would call this four innings pitched.
1-0 Sox. Time for the bust out inning.
