The rally started with the ball hitting the bag, but the way JV was pitching, hard to imagine those runs weren't coming in the next inning. Even Zito was hitting line drives into the outfield.
Once Valverde hit the mound, what little chance there was left was out the window. I suppose Leland had to find out what we already knew. He won't pitch again in this series unless a game gets way out of hand.
