MLB MVP and Game O' the Day - April 14, 2011 - Pence Helps Gigantes Beat the Cubbies; Rauch is Still Tall

4/14 MVP: Hunter Pence, RF, San Francisco Giants - 3-4 (1 HR), 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB, 0.47 WPA.  Clutch Moment: Homerun in the 9th that tied the score at 7-7.

4/14 GOD: Philadelphia Phillies (2) @ Miami Marlins (1) - Turning Point: Jon Rauch makes another appearance in the Game of the Day section here at Marcello Ball, and it is not for being an effective pitcher.  Instead of keeping the score tied to give a chance for the Marlins to take the lead in the bottom of the ninth, Rauch gave up a bomb to Laynce Nix in the top of the inning to give the Phils a 2-1 lead.  Unfortunately, being the tallest major league baseball player in the history of the game does not automatically mean you get people out.
