That was a great game. Caught the last few innings. Maybe the most exciting win of the year. That walk off home run also kept Felix in the Cy Young hunt. It was the difference between him being 15-6 and 16-5. I think Felix needs to keep his ERA under 2.50, and to get his record to something like 18-5 to have a strong shot at the Cy.

I also think this win clinched a winning record for the M's this year. They only have to go 5-9 to finish 82-80 for the year. Looking at the remaining schedule, I could see the M's going 8-6 from here on out and finishing with a 85-77 record, or 7-7 and a 84-78 record, which would be fantastic considering what they were supposed to do, and how weak their hitting has been. They still have an absurd -53 run differential with this 77-71 record.

How nice it would be to get one more win from the Yanks this series.
