Holy cow Rittman brings Spencer in to start the 4th. Very strange move. Spencer hasn't been very good at all. I don't get why he didn't bring McCubbin in and then start Thompson in game 2 if needed.

Good grief, sure enough, Spencer gives up a leadoff single.

Thompson in to start the 5th. Looks like it will be McCubbin to pitch in the rubber match if there is one, and that's what I would have done! I still don't get bringing Spencer in last inning, though. Cost them a run!
