Oh Neal, you weren't able to steal a Win this time, just like in the 1995 finals against the Rockets. I kinda dig your sinker/change armside + four-seamer/cutter gloveside pitch separation though...and you get the Jays + Astros so fine, we ignore.

The Athletics don't get Wins! Well, going opposite Cease and surviving five frames will do that. I didn't expect Neal to go 87 pitches, nor allow just two earned and y'all know this isn't the next pickup for you to make.
