Several seeds of doubt planted?

The fateful 10th began when Cano singled to center off Papelbon. Melky Cabrera got the sacrifice job done. But Papelbon utterly dismissed pinch hitter Wilson Betemit with some serious heat and then quickly got ahead of Gardner. But the kid hung exceedingly tough, caught a break on that tantalizing 1-2 pitch ("I knew it was out [of the strike zone]," he noted, "but I had to hope he'd call it"), fouled one more off to the left, and then hit a ball up the middle. Cora made a dive, but the ball caromed off his glove, and Gardner had his third career RBI, and first game-winner. "I was trying to talk the ball up the middle," he said.
