A handful of good things to take from the game:
Bud Norris looked solid yet again (7ip / 8h / 0er / 4so)
Our bullpen was shutdown (besides Webb) 5ip / 1h / 0er / 8so)
Our defense looked outstanding (Manny just being Manny)
If we're going to make it to the playoffs and go far into October, those 3 things are key. If our bats start to come alive again, Cruz gets hot - Davis steps his game up just a bit, we can go on a tear.
Over the last 13 games (which we're 8-5) we've face some of the best rotations / teams in baseball and held our own. Now we have a series ahead of us vs Toronto, and that's where we'll get some of the lead back.
Sorry but you won't get past the A's or Tigers.
