Today's line up didn't include Tulo, EE, Martin. For most other teams that would be their 2,3,4 line up. Others had to step up and they did. The reason we're succeeding is because 2 months ago we lose tight games and don't roll off wins like 2-1, 2-0 against Yankees or 3-1 against the Twins or two of these games against the A's at 4-2. Our BP is locked in, our starters are going deep, they are doing what they couldn't before which was holding leads when we score 4 runs or less. Scoring runs is one thing but pitching & defense wins the close games and we're doing that better than anyone of late.
