Playoffs Week 6: Saturday's report

With the exception of Freddie Freeman,
"Baby Giraffe" Brandon Belt scored more
points (17) on Saturday than any other
FBLG first baseman has scored all week.

STUDS: Brandon Belt (SSS) homered, doubled, singled 3 times, drove in 6 and scored 4 runs. Hunter Pence (TB) hit a grand slam, singled twice, scored 2 runs and drove in 7. Shin-Soo Choo (PYB) homered, doubled, drove in 3 and scored 3 runs. Gerardo Parra (AL) scored a run and had an RBI double and a 2-run double. Aaron Hill (Muumuu) had a solo homer, a 2-run single and a plain-old single. Tim Lincecum (PYB) singled twice, scored 2 runs, allowed 3 runs and struck out 6 in a 6-inning win. Kris Medlen (PYB) got the win and struck out 5 in 7.1 shutout innings.

DUDS: If Arbitration Losers end up falling in the finals to Manwaring a Muumuu, Tim can point to Ricky Nolasco (AL) as a primary reason. The right-hander allowed 7 runs (5 earned) and lasted only 1.1 innings in a loss to Tim's beloved Giants. Jonathan Lucroy (AL) came on as a pinch-hitter and struck out, then made an error. Ouch.
