The Winnipeg Goldeyes found out that even a six-run lead is not safe when playing the Gary SouthShore RailCats. Danny Pulfer helped Gary battled back from a 7-1 deficit to defeat the Winnipeg Goldeyes 9-8 on Tuesday night. The loss drops the Goldeyes below .500 for the first time all season. Pulfer homered in the eighth to pull Gary within one and then he drove in the winner in the ninth inning. The win completes a four-game series sweep for the RailCats over the Goldeyes. In his second game back with the Goldeyes, Tyler Graham used his speed to help generate the games opening run. He led off with a hustle double, stole third base, and then scored on a Mike Coles infield single. That would be the start of a big inning for the Goldeyes, who would make it 2-0 on a Josh Mazzola sacrifice fly. Ryan Scoma followed and battled a full count before blasting a Will Krout offering over the wall in center. The two-run home run was Scomas first of the season and Winnipeg took a four run lead into the second. With the score now 4-1 in the fifth, the RailCats committed a pair of fielding errors on the first two batters of the inning and Mazzola would make them pay instantly. He hit a towering shot over the leftfield wall and the three-run home run made it 7-1. A two run double off the bat of Brian Kolb cut the lead to 7-3 in the sixth and the potential Gary comeback got its first big push. In the same inning, with the Goldeyes holding an 8-4 lead in the sixth, Winnipeg had runners on second and third with less than two outs but could not find a way to cash them in. That would prove to be a big missed opportunity. A three-run game in the eighth, Goldeyes reliever Brendan Lafferty walked the first batter of the inning. Pulfer followed that with a home run over the wall in left to make it a one run game. Mike Massaro – on his fifth hit of the game - tied it with a base hit up the middle, scoring Chase Tucker who was hit by a pitch earlier. Closer Patrick Keating was brought in and got the final two outs of the inning, but all of a sudden it was a brand new ballgame. With one out in the ninth, Brian Kolb slashed a triple down the right field line, joining Massaro in Garys five hit party. The next batter, Pulfer, hit a sacrifice fly to deep center to give the RailCats their first lead of the night, one that would hold as the final. Taylor Sewitt worked a scoreless eighth to improve to 3-0 in relief. Marco Gonzalez came on in the ninth for his third save, stranding the potential tying run at first base. Patrick Keating took the loss to fall to 4-1. Hardy took the no decision after going 5 2/3 innings in his 11th start of the season. He struck out five while allowing four runs on eight hits. Following a travel day on Wednesday, the Goldeyes begin a ten game road trip through the CanAm League. The stretch begins on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT when Winnipeg visits the Quebec Capitales.

The Giants ended the regular season with their first four-game winning streak of the second half to beat out St. Louis by one game for the second NL wild card. Now that San Francisco is in, manager Bruce Bochys team hopes to extend the even-year karma that led to World Series titles in 2010, `12 and `14. ... The Giants started these playoffs the same way they did two years ago, witth a road shutout by Bumgarner in the wild-card win.dddddddddddd The 3-0 victory over the Mets was San Franciscos ninth straight when facing postseason elimination.

Chicago (103-58) comes into the playoffs with the best record in the majors and a large, excited fan base waiting anxiously and hoping against hope that the first championship since 1908 is finally on the way. The Cubs began the year with soaring expectations coming off a run to the NL Championship Series and proceeded to dominate like no other team this year, jumping out to a 25-6 start on the way to a runaway title in the NL Central under second-year manager Joe Maddon. ... After winning NL Rookie of the Year last season, Bryant is a favorite for MVP along with Rizzo.

Hendricks and Lester became the first teammates to run 1-2 in the majors in ERA since Houston pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte in 2005.

They gave up the fewest runs (556) and hits (1,125). ... On offense, Chicago was third in runs (808) and second in on-base percentage (.343).---Watch For:- MadBum. The Giants have baseballs biggest October star on their side in Bumgarner. He has thrown 23 straight scoreless innings in the postseason and is 6-1 with a 0.79 ERA and three shutouts in his last nine postseason outings. Hell be on regular rest in Game 3 and could be used in relief if the series goes five games as he was when he pitched five scoreless innings to save Game 7 of the 2014 World Series in Kansas City.- The Target. The Cubs won 97 games in a breakout season last year and eliminated Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the playoffs before getting swept by the Mets. Back then, the Cubs were the plucky upstart. Not this time. They showed up for spring training bolstered by the additions of Heyward, Zobrist and Lackey, and with a neat new slogan coined by Maddon: Embrace the Target. The phrase went on a T-shirt, and the Cubs could not have worn it any better during the regular season. They won the division by 17 1/2 games and finished with eight more wins than any other team. They had the depth and versatility to withstand injuries and the poise to pull out 14 wins in their final at-bat. But how well will they wear that target under immense pressure this postseason?- Closing Time. The bullpen that played such a key role in San Franciscos recent World Series championships melted down in the second half. Casilla tied for the most blown saves in the majors with nine and lost his job. After struggling to find a replacement, Bochy went to Romo, the closer during the 2012 title run. He successfully converted all four save opportunities in the final two weeks. ' ' '
