We conclude the top half of the bracket:
20. 2018 Boston Red Sox v. 109. 1934 Detroit Tigers
Boston's back - another favored World Champion club - against the AL Champion Tigers; there isn't a Detroit team from this generation that has moved forward.
Tigers-Mickey Cochrane
3B Owen (28) 115 2.2
1B Greenberg (23) 156 4.5
2B Gehringer (31) 149 7.6
C Cochrane (31) 117 3.9
LF Goslin (33) 112 2.2
CF White (25) 108 2.3
DH Walker (26) 94 .7
SS Rogell (29) 98 4.2
RF Fox (25) 85 1
P Rowe (24) 127 6.7
Bench:
DH Hayworth (30) 82 .4
SP2 Bridges (27) 119 4.4
SP3 Sorrell (33) 91 .4
Walker/Fox game one play will determine who plays right in game 2 - if one of them doesn't hit through the first two games, Hayworth might play if there's a game 3. Detroit's got all right handed starting pitchers.
Red Sox-Alex Cora
LF Benintendi (23) 123 4.2
RF Betts (25) 186 9.8
DH Martinez (30) 173 7
SS Bogaerts (25) 135 5.1
1B Pearce (35) 141 1.2
2B Holt (30) 109 1
3B Devers (21) 94 1.5
CF Bradley (28) 92 2.1
C Leon (29) 37 .3
P Sale (29) 209 6.9
Bench:
C Vazquez (27) 46 .3
SP2 Price (32) 123 3.7
SP3 Rodriguez (25) 116 3
SP3 Porcello (29) 103 3
Boston doesn't have a good catching option; Moreland/Nunez were their starters at 1st and 2nd, but against an all RH Tiger rotation, they won't see starts. Bradley will sit in game 2 when Martinez moves to RF. All the expected Sox starters are lefties - but Porcello could get the game 3 call. Boston is the seed favorite, they have a WAR advantage at SS-LF-RF-DH and SP for games 1 and 3
1st: 29 year old lefty Chris Sale was 12-4 with a 2.11 ERA for the Red Sox; he's on the Fenway Park mound for game one of the penultimate series in the top half of the bracket. 1-2-3
1st: Schoolboy Rowe is a 24 year old right hander, 24-8 with a 3.45 ERA; he takes the ball for the Tigers, Mookie Betts hits a one out double and JD Martinez gets plunked. An out later Rowe walks Steve Pearce - the Sox have loaded the bases in the first inning, but do not score.
2nd: 1-2-3
2nd: Jackie Bradley singles with one away, after the second out Andrew Benintendi singles and Betts is aboard with a walk. The bases are loaded again - and again, they do not score.
3rd: Billy Rogell singles with one out, after a second out and a Rogell stolen base - Marv Owen doubles him home; the Tigers are out in front. Here's an interesting move - Alex Cora decides to put Hank Greenberg on in this spot - that means they pitch to Charlie Gehringer - and Sale gets him. Tigers 1 Sox 0
3rd: Rowe strikes out the side - I'm not saying that hasn't happened in the tournament yet, but 1-2-3 all Ks is not something that I recall. Rowe has 6 Ks.
4th: 1-2-3, less than 10 pitches for Sale here.
4th: Rafael Devers draws a walk and scores on a Jackie Bradley double - that's two hits for Bradley and the score is tied. Rowe strikes out 2 more. That's 8. Tigers 1 Sox 1
5th: Another super quick one for Sale.
5th: 1-2-3
6th: Owen doubles to open the inning - just the third Tiger hit, that's all.
6th: Brock Holt walks to open - and then Rowe strikes out the next 3 Sox. That's 11 Ks for Rowe, which might be the tournament high so far.
7th: Another easy Sale inning - great, great pitchers duel today.
7th: Rowe gets the first 2. including the 12th K -- but then JD Martinez bombs a homer to break the tie - the Fenway roar goes up as the Sox take the lead. That ends Rowe's day - 23 year old right hander Elden Auker won 15 games and he comes on to end the inning - Tigers 1 Sox 2
8th: Owen singles with two out - he's got 3 of the Tigers 4 hits, but that's all.
8th: Pearce walks, Holt walks -- the Sox have a chance to get some insurance; Bradley singles after an out -- Pearce comes around - but he is gunned down at the plate on a Gehringer relay home, there are no collisions allowed as this is a game played under 2018 rules, but Cochrane applies a perfect swipe tag. Sandy Leon will draw a walk - but the Sox don't score and we head to the 9th.
9th: The Sox bring on their closer, 30 year old right hander Craig Kimbrel, 42 saves and a 2.74 ERA - he gives up a leadoff single to Gehringer; tying run on. But that's it and the Sox take game one.
Tigers 1
Red Sox 2
WP Sale
LP Rowe
Five hits for Detroit, 6 for Boston, just great pitching performances for both starters. Rowe struck out a dozen, the tournament high. Betts/Pearce/Holt all reached twice, Jackie Bradley had 3 hits and JD Martinez hit the big home run.
Sale gives up 4 hits in 8 innings, Marv Owen had the big game for Detroit, three hits, two doubles.
Let's go to Detroit for Game 2.

SS Rogell (29) 98 4.2
SP Bridges (27) 119 4.4
1st: Tommy Bridges stands on the Navin Field mound, the Tigers need today to stay alive; he was 22-11 with a 3.67 ERA - Andrew Benintendi hits the first pitch for a triple; an out later JD Martinez strokes a single to left and it's Sox 1 Tigers 0
1st: 32 year old lefty David Price gets the ball for the Sox, 16-7 with a 3.58 ERA, 1-2-3
2nd: Holt draws a one out walk, nothing else.
2nd: 1-2-3
3rd: Betts walks with two out and Martinez singles for the second time, but that's all.
3rd: Billy Rogell opens with a single, two outs later, Cora decides to put Greenberg on, a decision that worked in game one - here, Price then walks Gehringer to load the bases. Cochrane then singles - that's going to score 2 and put the Tigers out in front. Sox 1 Tigers 2
4th: 1-2-3
4th: Jo Jo White singles, but that's all.
5th: David Price didn't swing the bat once in 2018 -- but he singles with one out here, and thats all.
5th: After an out, Hank Greenberg hits a bomb to dead center - Detroit adds to their lead, Sox 1 Tigers 3
6th: Betts opens with a walk, that's all. Another tight one.
6th: 1-2-3
7th: Brock Holt doubles - two outs later he stands at third and the pitchers spot is up - Cora calls on Mitch Moreland, benched for Pearce in the series, and he singles to center, it scores Holt and now it's Sox 2 Tigers 3
7th: 29 year old right hander Heath Hembree comes on, Owen walks with two out and then Greenberg bombs his second homer; a two run shot to left, is that the insurance in this one? Sox 2 Tigers 5
8th: Betts reached by error and then JD Martinez doubles down the line, Betts is coming all the way around and it's 5-3. Xavier Bogaerts follows with a double, the wheels have come off for Bridges and it's 5-4. Elden Auker pitched in game one and he's on here - he gets two out, intentionally walks Devers to put the potential go ahead run on base -- but gets through it. Sox 4 Tigers 5
8th: 30 year old right hander Joe Kelly enters, can he keep the deficit to 1. He can't - after an out, Goose Goslin homers, it's Detroit's third homer of the day - the Tigers are just determined to send this series back to Boston. After a second out, Gee Walker walks - Cora decides to put Billy Rogell on - Cochrane counters by going to his bench for Pete Fox -- 2 on, 2 out - 6-4 Tigers -- and Kelly gets him. The Sox are still alive, Sox 4 Tigers 6
9th: The Tigers have one bullpen lefty, it's 30 year old Chief Hogsett; he enters - Boston's pinch hitter is Hanley Ramirez - Hogsett gets him; Benintendi started the game with a triple and now doubles - that's going to being the tying run to the plate with one away. Mookie Betts rips a single - Benintendi will score easily - Betts has reached 3 times and it's now 6-5. Still only one away. 29 year old right hander Luke Hamlin's ERA was 5.38 and he comes on. Martinez walks. Tying run in scoring position. Bogaerts hits a loud fly ball to right - Betts advances. Tying run on 3rd. Steve Pearce at the plate. He flies deep to left - Goose Goslin saves the series with a helluva diving catch on a ball that otherwise goes by him and gets to the wall, probably clearing the bases. A tremendous, tremendous catch to save this series.
Red Sox 5

2 homer game for Greenberg, Goslin homered and made the game saving catch, White singles twice, Rogell reached twice, Owen's now reached 4 times.
Benintendi tripled and doubled, Betts has reached 5 times, Holt 4 times, Martinez reached 4 times today and had the game winning homer back in game 1.
One more for all the marbles - back to Fenway we go.

C Leon (29) 37 .3
SP Rodriguez (25) 116 3
The Tigers go with Hayworth for the first time - and Moreland wasn't going to play in the series, but Cora has changed his mind and slides him in against the right handed Sorrell.
1st: The choice here was between the right handed Porcello and the left handed Rodriguez - Cora once again goes lefty. 25 year old Eduardo Rodriguez was 13-5 with a 3.82 ERA. He gets the first two - but then Gehringer singles, there are back to back walks to Cochrane and Goslin - and then White singles; that scores a run - Cochrane attempts to score - Jackie Bradley fires home, the swipe tag by Leon gets Cochrane at the plate and the inning ends. Tigers 1 Sox 0
1st: There's a solid step down from every starter in the series and 33 year old Vic Sorrell, 6-9 with a 4.70 ERA. Cochrane has to be looking really just to get anything at all from this start. He does in the first, 1-2-3
2nd: 1-2-3
2nd: Bogaerts doubles and Moreland walks - Brock Holt then lines a double that scores everybody - it's 2-1; Jackie Bradley will walk, but that's all. Tigers 1 Sox 2
3rd: Owen singles - but that's all.
3rd: Benintendi reaches by error and then Betts walks, after an out, Bogaerts his his second double in as many innings - it scores both men, folks, this one might get out of hand early, Tigers 1 Sox 4
4th: Rogell singles with two out, that's it.
4th: 1-2-3
5th: 1-2-3; Rodriguez hasn't allowed a runner past first since the first.
5th: The Sox load them up - walks by Benintendi and Betts - then Martinez is hit hard on the knee; he moves gingerly to first - and Bogaerts maybe ends this game and wraps up the MVP - he hits his third double of the day; everyone comes around to score - Bogaerts has 5 RBI and the Sox are up 7-1. 35 year old right hander Firpo Mayberry won 15, he enters, he gets an out, but then Holt singles home Bogaerts. It sure looks like a route in Fenway. Tigers 1 Sox 8
6th: Gehringer singles and Cochrane doubles to open the frame; but Detroit can't cut into this lead at all. Folks, this one is all but over.
6th: With two out, Betts and Martinez single back to back, but that's it.
7th: That's it for Rodriguez, 30 year old right hander Ryan Brasier enters, after two out, Owen triples - and that's followed by a Greenberg triple and it's 8-2. Back to the pen for Heath Hembree - he gives up a Gehringer hit and maybe there's a hint, a hint of life for the Tigers 3 Sox 8
7th: Holt singles with an out, really strong series for Holt installed as the second basemen over Nunez, after the second out he comes around to score on the Bradley double - and now you can feel it, this Fenway crowd senses they are about to see their second team move forward. Tigers 3 Sox 9
8th: With two out, Rogell and Fox single - Boston turns to Joe Kelly - he gets through it.
8th: Luke Hamin comes on - he gives up a single to Benintendi, then after two away walks Bogaerts - Moreland then doubles home the 10th run and that brings in Elden Auker - - he gives up a 2 run double to Brock Holt - its a celebration in Boston, the Sox are headed to the next round - Devers is gonna walk, but the inning ends Tigers 3 Red Sox 12
9th: The Tigers don't quit - they load the bases; Owen walk/Greenberg single/Gehringer single - Owen scores on a groundout, 27 year old lefty Brian Johnson enters to wrap it up - he walks White after the second out - but this is where it ends.

LP Sorrell
Betts reached 8 times in the series; Bogaerts quiet in games 1 and 2 - but had 3 doubles today, reached 4 times, had 5 RBI; Martinez strong in games 1 and 2, not much in game 3 -- you know who the MVP is - it's Brock Holt; he reached 9 times in the series and today had 4 hits including 2 doubles.
So - 31 teams have advanced. One to go and we've completed the top half of the bracket in this 128 team tournament to crown the Greatest MLB Team of All Time.
The 2018 Sox will face the winner of this one...
45. 1947 New York Yankees v. 84. 1989 Oakland A's
31 teams have advanced - 9 are Yankees. 2 are A's, both of those are Philadelphia teams; there's only one other Oakland team still to come.

Yankees are going to throw all right handers at the A's - that might mean Hassey/Weiss/Javier are better starters than the regulars and that's a change LaRussa would make as warranted. Parker will DH when the series moves to Oakland.

A's go all right handed starters - that means Billy Johnson sits all 3 games, Johnny Lindell can't crack this outfield for the series; Yogi gets the starts behind the plate and Robinson will DH in Oakland. Yankees are seed favorites, they have WAR advantage at 1B-2B-SS-CF-RF-DH-
1st: It's 39 year old Spud Chandler who starts game one for the Yankees, 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA; he walks Lansford with one out, that's it.
1st: 29 year old Mike Moore was 19-11 with a 2.61 ERA for the A's, he's on the Yankee Stadium mound, 1-2-3
2nd: Dave Henderson needs to hit the ball to keep Stan Javier on the bench against these RH Yankee starters - he doubles to open the frame and Tony Phillips follows with a walk - but that's it.
2nd: Bobby Brown walks with one out, that's all.
3rd: 1-2-3
3rd: George McQuinn walks with two out, that's all.
4th: Mark McGwire singles with one out, that's it.
4th: 1-2-3
5th: 1-2-3
5th: 1-2-3
6th: This would be expected a series with a lot of offense, not yet, still scoreless, Rickey Henderson leads off with a walk and he immediately steals second - after an out, Canseco flies to right - Henderson daringly takes third on the out - and then McGwire singles to right center and the A's are first on the board. Dave Henderson follows with a single but that's all A's 1 Yankees 0
6th: McQuinn singles with one out, the first Yankee hit of the day, Charlie Keller and Joe DiMaggio follow with singles - New York is in business, bases loaded and just one out. Moore gets out of it though and we head to the 7th.
7th: 27 year old right hander Karl Drews was not effective in the regular season, but he comes on for the Yanks; he gives up a one out walk to Mike Gallego, that's all.
7th: 1-2-3, great outing by Moore
8th: Lansford opens with a single - is gunned out trying to steal. Canseco walks - and Berra fires him out trying to steal. Definitely the first time we've had two caught stealing in the same inning A's 1 Yankees 0
8th: 1-2-3
9th: 29 year old right hander Randy Gumpert was actively bad in '47, he enters, and after an out, Tony Phillips triples -- and he will score on a Steinbach sac fly. That's your insurance A's 2 Yankees 0
9th: 34 year old right hander Dennis Eckersley comes on for the A's, 33 saves and a 1.56 ERA - 1-2-3.

Oakland only got 6 hits, but Moore/Eck held the Yankees to 3 - all singles, all in the 6th inning; just a dominant pitching performance. Offensively, Lansford/McGwire/Dave Henderson and Tony Phillips all reached twice, Phillips tripled.
For the Yankees, McQuinn reached twice.
Off we go to Oakland, the A's look to close this out.

1st: The top half of the Tournament Bracket ends, fittingly, at Yankee Stadium. 26 year old right hander Spec Shea was 14-5 with a 3.07 ERA; 1-2-3
1st: 32 year old right hander Dave Stewart has all the pressure today; on the road, needing a win - 21-9 with a 3.32 ERA. He hits DiMaggio in the ribs with the first pitch - DiMaggio doesn't react - but the crowd boos vociferously and you do wonder if Stewart wants to send a first inning message. Charlie Keller walks, DiMaggio moves to third on a ground out and then scores on a McQuinn sac fly. A's 0 Yankees 1
2nd: McGwire leads off with a walk and he comes all the way around on a Dave Henderson double to right center. Tony Phillips walks - after an out, Shea attempts to pick Phillips off first, the ball goes into right field and now the A's have men on second and third -- and when Mike Gallego singles - both will score and the A's have scored 3 runs. After the second out, Rickey walks, but that's all. A's 3 Yankees 1
2nd: Bobby Brown walks, Rizzuto singles - Stirnweiss singles Brown home and it's 3-2. Shea bunts the runners over -- and then DiMaggio just rips a double to right center that clears the bases and the Yankees retake the lead. This is the game we expected much of the series to look like. A's 3 Yankees 4
3rd: McGwire doubles with one out, that's all.
3rd: Bobby Brown singles with 2 out, that's all.
4th: Dave Stewart didn't swing the bat in 1989 - but he singles with 2 out here, Rickey walks, but that's all.
4th: Stirnweiss walks, two outs later he's at second and scores on a Keller base hit. Henrich follows with a single, but that's all. A's 3 Yankees 5
5th: After an out, Mark McGwire homers to straightaway center - the A's draw close, A's 4 Yankees 5
5th: 1-2-3
6th: The right handed Karl Drews takes over for the Yankees - 1-2-3
6th: DiMaggio singles with two out, but that's it. We head to the 7th. A's trailing by a run.
7th: Lansford singles with one out, but thats all.
7th: Tommy Henrich hits one that just curls inside the left field foul pole - the Yankees are once again up by 2 and it is getting late for the A's. Gene Nelson comes on for Oakland to end the inning. A's 4 Yankees 6
8th: The Yankees go to their closer, 29 year old lefty Joe Page, dominant with a 2.48 ERA and over 140 innings pitched. 1-2-3
8th Rizzuto walks and Stirnweiss singles - he's reached 3 times; big spot here for the A's, Nelson gets the next two and then he walks Keller. Bases loaded for Henrich -- and Nelson strikes him out. We go to the 9th.
9th: Page gets Gallego to ground out. One away. Dave Parker comes to the plate to hit for Nelson - A's trail by a run. Parker flies to center. Two away. Rickey Henderson is the last chance for the A's, largely a quiet series for Henderson - he laces a single to center and Oakland lives. Carney Lansford is next. Does Rickey look to take second and get into scoring position? Rickey with the big lead. Page throws over multiple times. Lansford grounds to third -- and it ends.

LP Stewart
DiMaggio reaches 3 times in this one; Keller twice in both games the Yankees took in the series - Henrich is the hitting star, he reached twice today - including a homer after homering in game 2; let's say he and Reynolds are co MVPs
So - that wraps up the top half of the bracket - we've played 32 series, 32 teams have moved forward. Here's what Round 2 will look like when we get there.
