Not only did Mike Foltynewicz out-pitch (read do a better job keeping the ball in the park) than counterpart Max Scherzer, he also drove in more RBI.

• YANKEES 7 TAMPA BAY 2

TOE KNOWS! In his first game this season, Ronald Torreyes knocks an RBI single and it’s 5-1 Yankees 👏🏼

Torreyes produced the only non home run RBI. You will hear plenty about Judge and Sanchez but let’s show some love for the, ummm, little guy.

• METS 4 PHILLIES 2

• HOUSTON 3 BALTIMORE 2

The Astros remind us how to win games when your big bats aren’t bopping. A squeeze bunt by Marwin Gonzalez to tie the game. Then later the go ahead run scored in large part because Derek Fisher stole second base. #fundamentals #squeezeplay #stolenbase #marwingonzalez #derekfisher #thefonz #happydays #mlb #houstonastros #baseball

If you are trying to find “Chicken Little” in the room, show him/her the picture below:

• SAN FRANCISCO 10 SEATTLE 1

The Giants held the Mariners to 1 run today…

But that’s not their most impressive number from their victory. San Francisco scored more runs today (10) than their first 5 games combined (6). pic.twitter.com/Kf9AVym2zI

For the lauding the offense will receive for their performance tonight, let’s shine the light on the pitching!

• ST. LOUIS 6 MILWAUKEE 0

The alleged mentally unfit and supposedly emotionally unprepared Carlos Martinez has blazed through the mighty Brewers lineup for eight innings with TEN strikeouts. #STLCards #Ace

• COLORADO 5 SAN DIEGO 2
  

How did Charlie Blackmon celebrate signing a 6-year deal with the Rockies?

If there is a current Colorado Rockies pitcher who is going to garner NL Cy Young Award votes, it’s Jon Gray!

Jon Gray’s night officially over: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 7 K, 0 BB.

Excellent work.
