Travis Wood was absolutely brilliant today, but he gets the loss thanks to no offense and an inning of shaky defense behind him. The only run that scored on Wood came courtesy of a “double” that a healthy Alfonso Soriano probably catches, and a dropped throw to the plate by Koyie Hill.
The bats fell silent, save for a couple hits each by Ian Stewart and Reed Johnson.
Yesterday was a throwback night to 1912, and today was clearly a throwback to 2002.
