ESPN.com: MLB Boxscore: Chicago WS vs. Texas
It would be too easy to say this had nothing to do with the managerial change.
In his previous four starts Ryan Glynn gave up 5, 6, 7 and 4 ER in a total of 16.1 innings. Johnny Oates made him a reliever. Now Glynn has thrown the sort of game as a starter that has been expected of him for years.
Coincidence?
Never. A new found determination to concentrate and play tough, hard-nosed, good-basics baseball has paid off.
Look out, Seattle.
