good pitch today, but something happened," Randon said. Molina seemed more
relieved that the wild pitch wasnt a factor than he drove in the game-deciding
runs. "(Molina) does a good job of not wearing his emotions and how frustrating
that is for him," Matheny said. "Its hard to count the number of balls he keeps
in front of him, the number of runs he saves. Its something we dont take for
granted." Valbuena doubled in a run with two outs in the ninth to make it 5-4,
