I road Corey Kluber all season long and yesterday he kept up his side of the deal. The Orioles and Red Sox are another story. Buck Showwalter found a way to end his teams win streak, fortunately Showwalter`s folly affected me not as much as you. As my impending victory seemed imminent the Red Sox and the Phillies fell behind, whilst Chris`s non-DT picks seemed primed for the taking.

Could I possibly lose the day, my glorious final day while winning my DT? The lowly Atlanta Braves happend to be playing the Phillies last night and in the sixth inning, the Braves did what they have been doing so well lately, blowing the lead and allowing a worse team steal yet another game from them. With the Phillies now on my side, it all came down to the Dodgers and the Angels, two teams that have treated both of us very well this season.

The Dodgers were playing the Rockies, a team that as of late, have been playing good ball. A short distance away in Anaheim, the Angels took on the desperate Seattle Mariners, who need a victory to hold onto dear life. In my time of need could I count on the Dodgers, who still can clinch home field advatage? Would the Angels keep Chris in this fight for one more hard fought day?

Despite Colorodo`s best efforts, the Dodgers were just to much of a match, whilst the desperate Sea-Faring boys from the North west managed to silence the beautiful choir of Angels from Anaheim, making me, once and for all, 2014`s Skin Champion.
