to this point, but starts the 5th by giving up a HR to
Wilmer Flores. Game tied at 1. Beartooth ties it at 1.
Cole Ragans was strong
throughout, but ran into a bit of a high pitch count and was

HR from Arenado gives Gotham a 4-1 lead.
Top 9th - Pagan gets a 1-2-3
inning for the save and a 4-1 Gotham win.
Game 4: J.Gray vs Rea
NOTE: Despite throwing only 85
pitches in game 1, Gray started this game tired according to
DMB.
1st/2nd Innings: Gotham jumped
all over Gray scoring 8 in the first two innings.
That would really be it.
Gotham continued to score runs, Christopher Morel hit 3 HRs
and drove in 6, but this was really a double-edged sword.
The good: Colin Rea was not good, and despite the lead,
didn't get out of the 4th inning. Thus, the runs were needed
or Gotham was done.
The bad: After scoring 19
runs, it feels like a let down coming in the decisive game
5. I have Nick Martinez in a few other leagues and he has
been really, really good. Each time out performed his MLB
stats. Looking at him for Beartooth, he looks to have done
the same.
Game 5: Sonny Gray for Gotham and Nick
Martinez for Beartooth
Beartooth’s Nick Martinez committed 2
throwing errors in the top of the second to allow 3 runs to
score for Gotham. Gotham added an insurance run later.
Beartooth scratched together two runs in
separate innings but couldn’t make it back into the game.
Gotham wins and is on to the LCS.
