7th inning, Cleveland winning by two runs:
- S. Casey walked
- J. Lugo grounded into fielder's choice, S. Casey out at second
- C. Crisp reached on bunt single to catcher, J. Lugo to second, J. Lugo to third on catcher V. Martinez's throwing error
- D. Pedroia singled to second, J. Lugo scored, C. Crisp to second
- R. Betancourt relieved J. Westbrook
- D. Ortiz struck out swinging
- M. Ramirez struck out looking
- End of Inning (1 Run, 2 Hits, 1 Error)
Why would you pitch to Manny Ramirez with the game on the line?
I'd have probably intentionally walked both Ortiz and Ramirez.
Sure, one run would have automatically scored, but at least the Indians fans cloud have slept easier knowing Manny Ramirez didn't get the big hit to beat their team.

Good strategy by Wedge in the 7th with the strikeout. Bad strategy by Wedge in the 9th with the homerun.
