We have a run! Which means we have pitchers of record, and hope for a conclusion!
MLB All-Star Game 2011: Adrian Gonzalez Gets Superior League On Board
Cliff Lee returned to the mound for the top of the fourth and recorded two more outs hit to Roy Halladay, playing defense. But then Adrian Gonzalez stepped up and blasted an 0-1 cutter right into the middle of the overflow All-Star player seating section beyond the right-center fence. Robinson Cano beat Adrian Gonzalez in the home run derby, but so far Adrian Gonzalez is beating Robinson Cano in actual home runs.
The AL threatened further after Prince Fielder dropped a pop-up and Josh Hamilton singled, but Jose Bautista was waved around third on a subsequent Adrian Beltre single to left, and Hunter Pence threw Bautista out at the plate with a perfect strike to Brian McCann. Pence is feeling energized about getting to play with talented teammates.
To the bottom of the fourth we go, with C.J. Wilson replacing Michael Pineda on the mound. Wilson used to be a closer and now he's being handed a narrow lead so he just has to protect this familiar situation for six innings.
