Double-duty Don today.

One down for Chen.

Lazy fly to Chavez.

[Don Quixote]

Thanks, weams; Gameday is frozen for me.

[PaulFolk]

Chen fans Kroeger on a 91-mph fastball.

[weams]

One Two Three

[Don Quixote]

Kroeger Ks. Two away.

Pyoukilis grounds out 5-3, side retired. Ugh, Gameday.

[PaulFolk]

Youkilis bounces out to third. Nice first inning for Chen.

[PaulFolk]

Chavez grounds to third to start the 1st.

[PaulFolk]

Hardy flies out. Here's Markakis.

[PaulFolk]

Markakis swings late at a shoulders-high fastball. Still trying to get his timing and batting eye, I guess.

1-2-3 inning for Cook.

[PaulFolk]

Adrian Gonzalez grounds out to Johnson unassisted. One-pitch out to start the 2nd.

[PaulFolk]

Single for Lavarnway. First baserunner for either team.
