I get my thread sucked for us yesterday, but I'm going for the series win here and someone else can help us take the O's that ain't Royals series. LFG

Were we watching the same game?

Zerpa came in the 7th and it was a 1-1 game. He immediately walked a guy and then gave up a double to Ortiz. Was 2nd and 3rd no outs just like that.

The Royals got Erceg up and loose in a hurry, but Angel did have to face another batter. Luckily he was able to get the ground out w/o runners advancing and then Erceg came in with guys on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out.

And considering he was facing Chourio and then Yelich pinch hitting, both with 2 runners in scoring position, I'd consider that the very definition of needing a 'fire put out'.
