Another HBP Walk-Off

Tuesday night saw the season's second extra-innings hit-by-pitch-off, the Indians this time benefitting as the Tigers' David Pauley hit Kosuke Fukudome with the bases loaded to end the game in the 14th. You can watch the video here.

This was the first game of a series with huge implications, too, as Cleveland and Detroit are vying for first place in the AL Central. With the win, Cleveland is now only three games out, with two more games to come in the series.

Mets Win on Bases Loaded HBP; Baseball Gods Smile

Last week, the Mets suffered a painful extra-innings loss to the Atlanta Braves on a balk-off. Wednesday night, they got redemption: A's pitcher Brad Ziegler hit Justin Turner with the bases loaded, and the Mets won in extra innings on a hit-by-pitch-off. Almost gives the impression that the baseball gods do have a sense of fairness, until you remember the Cubs.
