NLDS Game 2: Parkland at Fleetwood

Game 2 - Parkland at Fleetwood

Julio Teheran (6-13, 5.64 ERA) vs. John Lackey (20-4, 3.68 ERA)

The second game of this National League Divisional Series pitted Parkland's Julio Teheran against Fleetwood's John Lackey. Given Teheran's poor regular-season record and high regular-season ERA, Fleetwood appeared to have the clear advantage. But baseball games are not played on paper or in the rear-view mirror, so only time would tell.

After a scoreless 1st inning for both teams, Parkland once again drew first blood. And this time, the Green did so in a big way thanks to a two-out, three-run home run in the 2nd inning by catcher Yasmani Grandal. In the very next frame, Parkland's Khris Davis matched the feat with a three-run homer of his own. Very quickly, Parkland had jumped out to a commanding 6-0 lead.

Julio Teheran: 6.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 10 K.

Meanwhile, Teheran cruised through 6 scoreless innings on the mound while Parkland's Jose Bautista hit a solo shot in the top of the 7th inning for another insurance run.

In the bottom of the 7th, Teheran gave up a lead-off single to Chris Coghlan. After striking out the next two batters, he surrendered another single to Kevin Keirmaier. This hit drove him from the game in favor of reliever Jonathon Papelbon, who retired Fleetwood's Marwin Gonzalez to end the threat.

Neither team would mount another rally, and the game ended with Parkland earning a shutout and a much-needed win. The series would now shift to Parkland for Games 3 through 5.

Final Score: Parkland 7, Fleetwood 0.

W: Julio Teheran (1-0)
L: John Lackey (0-1)
SV: None
HR: Jose Bautista (1), Khris Davis (1), Yasmani Grandal (1)

Series tied 1-1.
