CHICAGO -- When Josh Tomlins night was done and he made the walk to?Clevelands dugout, his eyes scanned the Wrigley Field crowd, searching for his dad.Jerry Tomlin was there -- at the World Series -- just like they both had dreamed.With his dad watching from a wheelchair, Josh Tomlin pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings Friday night as the Indians spoiled a game?Chicago?fans had waited 71 years to see by blanking the Cubs 1-0 in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the Series.On a historic night in one of baseballs grandest ballparks, the Tomlins story was as sweet as it gets.I knew where he was, and what this meant to him and me and my mom, Josh Tomlin said after Cody Allen struck out Javier Baez for the final out. So it was pretty special, one of the most emotional starts Ive had in my career.Jerry Tomlin nearly died two months ago from a circulatory malformation that has left him paralyzed from the chest down. He spent two months in the Baylor Rehab Institute in Dallas before being released on Joshs birthday, which happened to be the day the Indians clinched the American League pennant.And although he cant walk and faces a daunting future, Jerry wasnt going to miss seeing Josh pitch in the Series.As he sat in Section 122 swallowed by an ocean of Cubs fans, the elder Tomlin couldnt stop smiling.Its hard to put into words, he said about 30 minutes before Josh threw his first pitch. I didnt know what I was going to say when I got here, and I still dont. The way everything panned out and the way people helped me to get here, man, its definitely a dream come true.There was no way I was going to miss this.And his son, who used to pretend he was in the World Series when he threw to his dad in their backyard, pitched the game of their lives.Jerry made the trip to Chicago accompanied by his wife, Elena, who stood in the aisle as game time approached.We both have butterflies, she said. This is a day [Josh] has been waiting for since he was 4 years old. Hes been playing baseball his whole life. What more can you ask for than when your kid gets to live his dream?On his way to the weight room before the game, Josh was told where his parents were sitting along with some friends who helped them transport Jerry from his home in Texas to Chicago.I wanted to know where he was so I could look up and see him, Josh said.And when he felt his mechanics were off or he wasnt doing what he needed to, he looked for his dad.If the game was speeding up to me, just to find that sense of calm there, he said. What hes gone through, I mean, thats nothing to what were going through right now. So to be able to find him and see him in the stands, it kind of calmed me down and just let me go out there and settle into the game and try to go out there and do the best that I could for him.Once again, Josh Tomlin came through for the Indians, holding the Cubs and their fearsome lineup without a run on two hits before he was lifted by manager Terry Francona, who gave him a hug before taking the ball.The Indians entered the postseason down two starters, as both Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar were injured in September, and then when Trevor Bauer cut open his pinkie while repairing one of his drones, Clevelands chances to go very deep in the postseason seemed remote at best.But Tomlin has delivered, entering Fridays game with a 2-0 record and 2.53 ERA.He has been a rock, just like his dad always has been for him.Jerry Tomlin coached Josh until he was in high school, and the 31-year-old, who is the longest-tenured player on Clevelands roster, said he has friends who tell him to this day that his dad was the best coach they ever played for.Josh knew nothing would stop his dad, who fell ill at work in August and initially thought he was having stomach problems. However, doctors were examining him when he lost all the feeling in his lower body from a condition that affects blood vessels on his spine. Surgery saved his life, and Josh left the Indians to be with his dad following the operation.As his dad recovered, Josh kept pitching but his mind was never far from thinking about family.Hes called me a couple times. Never complaining, Jerry said. I told him just go back to work and do what you do. Quit worrying about your dad and go get em.Josh did just that.Nike Air Max Clearance Canada .

The Giants are 7-6 against the Rockies this season, and the teams have split six games at Coors Field.The Giants are 33-21 against the National League West, which is the best intra-divisional record for any team in the division but not a telling statistic given how the Giants have stumbled in the second half.The Giants will be playing a divisional opponent for the first time since July 17 when they were swept in a three-game series at San Diego. That was San Franciscos first series after the All-Star break when their season began to take a miserable turn.The Giants lost 3-2 in 13 innings Sunday to the high-flying Chicago Cubs, dropping three of four games at Wrigley Field.

Colorado is 35-34 at Coors Field this season.Chad Bettis will be pitching on seven days rest when he opposes the Giants on Monday. The Rockies didnt want him to face Arizona on Sunday, since he had made four starts against them with limited success this season. Bettis is 11-7 with a 5.17 ERA. The Rockies have won each of Bettis last seven starts at Coors Field, where he is 5-2 with a 5.40 ERA in 11 outings this season.Bettis is 2/3 with a 5.28 ERA in five career starts against the Giants, including a May 6 loss at San Francisco, where he gave up five runs and eight hits in six innings as the Rockies fell 6-4.With an eye toward next season, the Rockies are working Tom Murphy into their catching corps, which includes starter Nick Hundley, a free agent after this season, and backup Tony Wolters. Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday. He singled as a pinch-hitter Friday and went 1-for-4 with one RBI in a start Saturday. Murphy pinch hit Sunday and hit a 482-foot home run down the left-field line in the seventh, stayed in the game and singled in the ninth.It looked like it might have been a pitch on the inner half that he got the barrel to, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of the massive homer Murphy hit off left-hander Patrick Corbin. Hes a strong kid, so he gets it airborne, and it goes a long way. ' ' '
