CH2: MINERS SPLIT WITH SALEM

                       Chris Sale Fans 12 and Saves Split with Salem 

G1:  Salem 11, Joplin 3

WP: Anibel Sanchez ( 6.1-7-3-3-1-6)
LP: Charlie Morton ( 4.8.9.5.5.5)

Joplin played it's worst game of the season.  Charlie Morton gave up 3 consecutive home runs to Andrew Benintendi, Jose Ramirez and Justin Turner in the first inning and Joplin committed 3 errors, 2 by Carlos Santana.  The only bright spot in the game was the relief effort of Steven Wright ( 3.2.1.1.3.5).  

G2: Joplin 6, Salem 1

WP:  Mashi Tanaka ( 6.3.1.1.1.6)
LP:  Mike Montgomery ( 5.7.4.4.5.2)

Freddie Freeman homered twice and Austin Wynns added another homer to back the efficient pitching performance of Mashi Tanaka. 

G3:  Salem 4, Joplin 3

WP: Clay Buchholz  ( 6.1-5-3-3-3-8)
LP: Dan Duffy  ( 1.2.2.2.1.0)

The Miners left the bases loaded in the 7th which explains this loss.  Freddie Freeman continued to rake Salem pitching with a double and a walk which produced 2 runs.   Danny Duffy continues his inconsistent pitching.

G4:  Joplin 6, Salem 1

WP: Chris Sale: ( 7.2.1.1.4.12)
LP:  Stephen Strasburg ( 5.8.4.4.2.8 )

Marco Estrada pitched 2 scoreless innings before Chris Sale relieved him in the 3rd and helped limit the Tippers to 2 hits.  Sale also had an RBI single.  Chad Pinder led the hit parade with 2 hits and 2 RBIs.  Freddie Freeman continued to rake with a run scoring double.
