Game 109: Yovani Gallardo throws seven strong innings and the Spectres get home runs from Carl Crawford and Seth Smith in a 6-2 win over the Bears.
Game 110: Michael Cuddyer ties the score at two with a leadoff solo homer in the eighth. He has a chance to win the game in the ninth, but flies to left with the bases loaded... game goes to extras. Milwaukee has two runners thrown out at second in the 10th (one trying to stretch a single, the other trying to steal) and then load the bases in the 11th, but don't score either time. With one out in the 11th, Carl Crawford singles, then steals second. Asdrubal Cabrera rips a double to center, scoring Crawford with the winner.
Game 111: Once again, Montreal comes to the plate in the eighth inning trailing 2-1. This time they take the lead on Isaiah Batten's bases-loaded single, and they threaten even more damage but leave the bases loaded. Jason Frasor coaxes three groundouts on 10 pitches to save a 3-2 Spectre win.
The Spectres are off to Houston.
