Newark took back the home field advantage from Philly with a 6-4 victory yesterday. The Animals looked like they would hold off the mighty Sugar Bears, jumping out to an early 2-0 lead, but the Sugar Bears rallied for 6 runs in the 6th, starting with a Matt Stairs grand slam. The Sugar Bears will send Chien-Ming Wang out for game four, while the Endzone Animals will turn to Johan Santana, pitching on three days' rest. Wang has been disastrous against the Animals this year, going 0-2 with a 9.87 ERA and horrific 2.19 WHIP in 3 starts. Wang's two worst starts were in the Cereal Bowl, so the Sugar Bears hope he will not continue the trend.
Las Vegas-Vancouver resumes today in Sin City with Ben Sheets taking on Josh Beckett. Beckett has only made on start against Vancouver in a Rat Pack uniform, a 3-1 loss in early August, but overall he's made 4 starts (3 as a Blue Ridge Bomber) and has a 1-2 record with a 4.10 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. Sheets has also been solid in 4 starts against the Rats, going 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP.
