Playoffs, Week 5: Monday's Roundup

Old Hoss Radbourn says, "Six whole innings, huh? Meh.
In my day, the manager would have had to drag my lifeless carcass off the mound."
Studs: It was Shocking Performances by Leadoff Hitters day in FBLG. Ben Revere (PYB) blew everyone's mind by driving in 5 runs - on a 3-run triple and a 2-run single - to power the Phillies offense. Denard Span (AL) awed everyone by hitting a pair of homers to double his season total to 4. Also, Hunter Pence (Misfits) continued to be spastically awesome, homering in both the suspended game being completed and also the day's regularly scheduled game. Buster Posey (FF) had 4 hits between the two games. But the day belonged to Tanana's pitchers, with Cole Hamels striking out 7 in the first 6 innings of a combined no-hitter and adding a double and run scored, and Tyson Ross striking out 8 and allowing 1 run in a 6-inning win.

Duds: Andrelton Simmons was hitless (obviously) and made an error. Matt Adams was 0 for 4 with an error.
