The middle game of this series was a late afternoon game, featuring Wade Miley pitching for Boston, and a group of players for Philadelphia, most of whom I've never heard of - Ruiz and Howard being the obvious exceptions.
Not a lot of scoring innings in this one - the game positively flew by until the bottom of the 4th inning, when Boston batted around and then some, plating 8 runs, including David Ortiz's 30th HR of the season, a solo shot that followed what at first appeared to be an inside-the-park grand slam, but was actually scored as a 3 RBI double, batter/runner scoring on an error. Philadelphia got 2 runs back in the top of the 5th, but that was it for them as Miley completed the game, picking up one tack on run late on to make the final score 9-2 in under 2 and a half hours.
I was sitting on the end of my row in the grandstand, which turns out not to be such a great seat when all the people on your row are constantly going in and out of their seats.
