There is but one thing we know for sure about today’s game: we will see neither Matthew Ruppenthal nor his Magic Curvenball on the mound. Why? Well, let’s just say he threw more innings than Kyle Wright, and Wright was on the mound for a solid 6. Ruppenthal masterfully held serve for 7 consecutive innings, allowing Reed Hayes to drive in the game tying run in the 9th, and Julian “Chinfante” Infante to break out his boom stick for a two run jack in the 13th to wrap up the series win. All were high pressure innings (2 IP down 1, 4 IP tied, and 1 IP up 2), and with the rest of the bullpen’s performance described through gold colored glasses as shaky at best, all innings were entirely necessary.
