The southpaw Ryan stays in for the O’s and promptly walks Bernie (batting from the right side) to start the 11th.
Matsui takes a healthy cut and fouls away the first pitch Ryan throws him. So much for the sacrifice bunt. The next pitch is a fastball on the outside corner for a strike and Gozilla is in the hole, 0-2. Fastball, upstairs, 1-2. The next pitch is a slider way outside, 2-2. Another heater, just outside; Matsui holds up, and the count is full. (Throw to first.) Wow. That one got my heart beating. The payoff pitch is a fastball, way outside, ball four.
With Boone coming to bat, that’s it for Ryan. Hargrove signals for a righty.
