Brian Sweeney was ready for anything.
Had surprise starter Yu Darvish stumbled out of the gate in Game 2 of the Japan Series, it would have been Sweeney's job to hold off the Yomiuri Giants and prevent the Fighters from falling behind 2-0 in the series.
Darvish turned in a heroic performance, however, to tie the series at 1-1 and leave the Fighters hoping to keep that momentum alive as the scene switches to Tokyo.
