Because of several player switches, the Orioles fielded Lenn Sakata as emergency catcher for the 10th inning. Runners couldn't wait to try and steal on him, so took big leads and Tippy picked them all off. Sakata then hit a game-winning HR in the bottom half. Can you imagine the post-game Toronto locker room?Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.com
