So I went to da Marlisn game last night. Ugh Jose was on fire 13 K's but no support so he lost da game. First loss at home in his entire career.

[alexanderao]

Yankees beat the Astros 8-5 and take that series 2-1. Ball was really carrying in that game- a lot of long fly balls.

The Dodgers led the Giants 4-0 in the early stages of their game, but it's now 8-7 SF in the 8th.

Meanwhile, Joe Mauer just hit a home run. Twins up 1-0 in the first inning over BAL.

Devastating news- promising Cubs OF Kyle Schwarber has torn his ACL and his LCL, and he's done for the year.

Last night: Cardinals got their first win, thanks to three pinch hit homers (two of whom came from players in their MLB debut season) from Jeremy Hazelbaker, Aledmys Díaz, and Greg García. They were down 4-nothing, but came back to win 7-4.

Jake Arrieta continued his Wrigley Field dominance today, tossing 8 scoreless innings.

The Yankees went 0-12 with RISP today and are batting .065 (3-for-46) on the season with RISP.

Maeda vs. Samardzija tonight on ESPN!

In other news, Nolan Arenado is good.

[alexanderao]

Chris Sale continues to be devastatingly good. 7+ IP, 0 ER, 0 BB today.

[alexanderao]

Aaron Hicks's 105.5mph outfield assist is a new Statcast record.

[alexanderao]

Jake Arrieta, the NL Cy Young winner last year, has thrown a no-no! I'll post the clip of all 27 outs when it comes out.

An awesome stat!

[alexanderao]

All 27 outs!

[alexanderao]

The Rays are calling up top pitching prospect Blake Snell. He'll make his MLB debut tomorrow vs. the Yankees.

[alexanderao]

The All-Star Game ballot is open, a month and a half too early imo.

The Nationals are surging- Bryce Harper is an absolute beast.

[alexanderao]

Neil Walker has 9 home runs on the year.
