Yelich's 3 homers lift Brewers past Cardinals, 10-7
April 16, 2019
By The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE (AP) Christian Yelich hit three homers, including a pair of three-run shots, and drove in a career-high seven runs to power the Milwaukee Brewers past the St. Louis Cardinals 10-7 on Monday night.

Yelich, the reigning NL MVP, hit his first three-run homer to cap a six-run second inning. After St. Louis tied it with three runs in the sixth, Yelich answered in the bottom half with a towering three-run blast to right off Mike Mayers (0-1).

Yelich capped his night with his eighth homer this season, going deep to lead off the eighth. He also lined out in the first and was walked intentionally in the fourth.

Junior Guerra (1-0) worked 1 2/3 innings for the victory. Josh Hader struck out the side in the ninth after allowing Marcell Ozuna's sixth home run to open the inning.

METS 7, PHILLIES 6, 11 INNINGS

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Juan Lagares scored from second base on Michael Conforto's hard grounder in the 11th inning and New York beat Philadelphia.

Lagares led off with an infield single against Pat Neshek (0-1), and Brandon Nimmo walked. Two outs later, Conforto hit a sharp grounder that first baseman Rhys Hoskins couldn't field for an error. The ball trickled to second baseman Cesar Hernandez and Lagares kept running, scoring easily because the throw was way off target.

Luis Avilan (1-0) pitched out of trouble in the 10th, stranding runners on second and third. Edwin Diaz struck out the side for his sixth save in six tries and his 16th in a row, dating to last season with Seattle.

Noah Syndergaard had a rough outing for the Mets, giving up five runs and nine hits in five innings while fanning nine. Phillies ace Aaron Nola allowed five runs in four innings.

CUBS 7, MARLINS 2

MIAMI (AP) - Willson Contreras hit his sixth homer, drove in three and reached base four times, and Chicago thawed out to beat Miami.

The temperature in Chicago was 33 when the Cubs' game Sunday against the Angels was snowed out, and it was 84 with the retractable roof open for the first pitch at Marlins Park.

Yu Darvish (1-2) struck out eight in a season-high 5 2/3 innings. He allowed two runs, lowering his ERA to 6.11. Three relievers completed the six-hitter.

Chicago scored three times in the first, and Javier Baez drove in a run with a two-out bloop double in the fifth off Trevor Richards (0-2), who allowed five runs in 4 2/3 innings.

ORIOLES 8, RED SOX 1

BOSTON (AP) - Dwight Smith Jr. hooked a two-run homer into the first row of seats down the right field line and drove in four, leading Baltimore to victory in Boston's annual Patriots' Day game.

Baltimore salvaged a split of the four-game series. It had lost nine of its previous 11 games and was 4-21 in its last 25 against Boston. Chris Davis also hit a two-run homer - much further into the right field bleachers - and Renato Nunez had three hits with an RBI single.

Dan Straily (1-1) rebounded from a rough debut start with Baltimore, giving up a run on two hits in five innings. He was tagged for five runs and eight hits over 3 1/3 innings by Oakland last week.

Spot starter Hector Velazquez (0-1) gave up a run in three innings.

RANGERS 12, ANGELS 7

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Joey Gallo homered and grounded a tiebreaking single to the vacant spot at shortstop against the shift, helping Texas beat Los Angeles in Mike Trout's return after missing three games with a groin injury.

Trout, the designated hitter while the club waits a little longer before putting the two-time AL MVP back in center field, went 0 for 2 with three walks.

Shin-Soo Choo, who had three hits, homered leading off the third for his first of the season. Asdrubal Cabrera matched Gallo for the team lead with his fifth homer , a two-run shot for an 11-4 lead in the sixth.

Reliever Kyle Dowdy (1-0) earned his first major league victory, giving up one run on one hit in 2 2/3 innings. Closer Jose Leclerc got his fourth save. Cam Bedrosian (1-1) allowed five of the seven hitters he faced to reach, starting with Elvis Andrus' leadoff double in the fifth.

BLUE JAYS 5, TWINS 3

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Teoscar Hernandez hit the go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning, giving Toronto a badly needed offensive boost with three hits in a victory over Minnesota.

After Martin Perez finished six innings in his first start for the Twins with only one run allowed and Ryne Harper struck out two batters in a perfect seventh, left-hander Adalberto Mejia was summoned for the eighth with all righties due up for the Blue Jays. Freddy Galvis greeted Mejia with a single, Randal Grichuk doubled for his third hit of the game, and Justin Smoak hit an RBI single. Then Hernandez sent an 0-2 slider from Mejia (0-1) into the second deck for a 5-3 lead.

Sam Gaviglio (1-0) picked up the victory with a scoreless seventh. Joe Biagini pitched a perfect ninth for his first save.

WHITE SOX 5, ROYALS 4

CHICAGO (AP) - Welington Castillo atoned for an error with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, and Chicago rallied to beat Kansas City.

Castillo's poor throw on Billy Hamilton's steal in the seventh helped set up Whit Merrifield's tiebreaking sacrifice fly. But Castillo came up big after Tim Anderson led off the eighth with a double against Brad Boxberger (0-3), sending an opposite-field drive to right for his first homer of the season.

Manny Banuelos (1-0) pitched three hitless innings for his first win since 2015, and Alex Colome worked the ninth for his fourth save in four chances and No. 100 for his career.

*****************************

Tuesday?s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but??

13) You never know about team chemistry, what goes on behind closed doors.

Last week, Marquette G Markus Howard announced he was coming back for his senior year, which was surprising, considering the kid had skipped his senior year of HS to begin college when he was 17 years old. But you figured it was very good news for Marquette.

Yesterday, brothers Sam/Joey Hauser announced they?re in the transfer portal, and will be leaving Marquette, which was really almost shocking news. As Darren MacGavin said in The Natural, ?Something is amiss?

You don?t have to be Columbo to come to the conclusion that the Hauser brothers didn?t enjoy playing basketball with Markus Howard.

12) Fred Hoiberg is the new coach at Nebraska; in 2011, he quickly upgraded Iowa State?s program by bringing in transfers. Nebraska is the early favorite to land the Hauser brothers.

11) In his last two starts, hitters swung at 103 of Jacob deGrom?s pitches:
? 24 misses (23.3%)
? 52 foul balls (50.5%)
? 27 balls in play, with 13 of those hits (.481). Not good.

Last year and in his first two starts this year, hitters swung at 1,725 of deGrom?s pitches:
? 504 misses (29.2%),
? 645 foul balls (37.4%)
? 533 balls in play, with 188 of those hits (.353) Very good.

Something to track moving forward; he?s having trouble putting hitters away.

10) The gambler who won $1.19M betting on Eldrick Woods at The Masters? The guy is from Wisconsin; apparently it was the first-ever sports bet.

First sports bet he ever makes and its for $85,000? Wow.

9) Non-sports question: Why would someone pay $500,000 so their kid could get into a college? I don?t care if it is USC, Harvard, DeVry University or Ouachita Baptist; whats the point?

If the kid isn?t smart enough to get in the school in the first place, how will they do enough work to get a diploma? Or does the $500K cover that, too? Too many weasels in the world today.

8) Rockies 5, Padres 2? Colorado scored a run in 2nd inning for first time this season; they still haven?t scored in the first inning.

Under is 21-5-3 in Colorado?s last 29 road games.

7) Baseball injuries:
? Rockies put C Chris Iannetta (lat strain) on the IL.
? Phillies put P David Robertson (elbow) on the IL.
? Angels put P Tyler Skaggs (ankle) on the IL.
? Braves put P Jonny Venters (calf) on the IL.

6) Clippers 135, Warriors 131- Golden State blew a 31-point lead, may have lost DeMarcus Cousins with a torn quad muscle. Series is even, 1-1.

Sidebar to Clippers-Warriors series is that Doc Rivers? daughter is engaged to Portland G Seth Curry, who is Steph Curry?s brother.

5) Brewers 10, Cardinals 7? In five games vs St Louis this season, Christian Yelich has seven homers, 15 RBI.

4) AA Arkansas Travelers didn?t get a hit Sunday, but they beat Tulsa 1-0 in 10 innings.

Starting this year in extra innings in minor league games, innings start with a runner on 2nd base, an incredibly stupid innovation; the run Arkansas scored came in on a bases loaded walk.

I?d rather see tie games than have innings start with a runner on second base.

3) Sacramento Kings fired coach Dave Joerger last week; turns out Joerger wanted the Kings to draft Luka Doncic instead of Marvin Bagley Jr. Maybe Joerger should be the Kings? GM.

2) RIP to coach John MacLeod, who passed away over the weekend at age 81.

When I was in college, I wrote several letters to coaches around the country, asking how they used statistics (what is called analytics today) in their coaching. Thats how I put myself thru college, as a student manager of the basketball team? we did some interesting stuff with stats.

MacLeod was one of the few people who took the time to answer me, and I always appreciated that. RIP, sir.

1) They ran the Boston Marathon Monday; running 26 miles (and 365 yards) seems excessive to me. Hell, if I drive my car 26 miles I?m looking for a Wendy?s or a McDonald?s. But more power to the people who are way tougher than me. Hope you all had fun.

LEADING OFF: Red Sox-Yankees, Lindor begins rehab assignment
April 15, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors today:

RIVALRY RENEWED

Mookie Betts tries to get going at the plate when the Red Sox (6-11) visit the Yankees (6-9) in the first meeting this season between the longtime rivals. Boston knocked New York out of the playoffs last year on the way to a World Series championship, but both clubs are off to surprisingly slow starts in 2019. Same is true of Betts, who is batting .222. ''Basically, what I'm doing is unacceptable,'' the AL MVP said. ''I have to figure out a way to get something done and help the team.'' Yankees left-hander James Paxton (1-2, 6.00 ERA) gets his first taste of the bitter rivalry when he faces struggling Boston ace Chris Sale (0-3, 9.00) in the opener of a two-game set. Paxton told reporters he thought he was tipping pitches in Houston last Wednesday during an 8-6 loss.

LINDOR LIMBERS UP

Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor is set to begin an injury rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus. Lindor is working back from a left ankle injury, which occurred near the end of spring training while he was trying to come back from a right calf strain. Cleveland manager Terry Francona isn't sure how long Lindor will be with Columbus before joining the big league club.

TOP OF THE TABLE

Tampa Bay (12-4) takes baseball's best record into its series opener at home against Baltimore. On the mound for the Rays will be Tyler Glasnow, who is 3-0 with a 0.53 ERA. The big right-hander was acquired from Pittsburgh last year in a trade for Chris Archer. Tampa Bay has the lowest ERA in the majors at 2.44 - and the starters are even better at 1.47. In the other dugout, the Orioles hope Chris Davis is about to go on a long-awaited tear. Davis ended his record 0-for-54 slump with three hits and four RBIs on Saturday, then socked his first homer since August on Monday.

MISSING PIECE

The Phillies will need to make do for a while without the biggest offseason addition to their bullpen. David Robertson was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday because of a sore right elbow. Right-hander Drew Anderson was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Robertson's spot. Philadelphia manager Gabe Kapler said Robertson will have an MRI on Tuesday. The right-hander has a 5.40 ERA in seven appearances but hasn't allowed a run in his last four. The Phillies signed him to a $23 million, two-year contact in the offseason.

Ballpark Figures - Week 4
April 15, 2019
By Joe Williams

STREAKY TEAMS (ENTERING MONDAY)

Wins and Losses Streak Over/Under Streak

Colorado 2-12 past 14 games overall Kansas City Over 11-2-1 past 14 games

Houston 9-0 past nine games overall L.A. Angels Under 12-3 past 15 games

Miami 2-10 past 12 games overall N.Y. Mets Over 11-2-1 past 14 games

Wild Cards

The St. Louis Cardinals meet the Milwaukee Brewers in a key early season matchup in the National League Central. The Cards enter play with six victories over the past seven outings, and they're a perfect 5-0 in the past five games against teams with a winning overall record. In addition, they're 4-1 in the past five games against a right-handed starting pitcher, while going 17-8 in the past 25 on the road vs. RHP. While all of that is well and good, they're 1-7 in the past eight matchups against the Brewers.

Tuesday, April 16

The Red Sox and Yankees renew their rivalry for a quickie two-game set in the Bronx on Tuesday night. Neither team has gotten off to the kind of start they were hoping for, as the Red Sox enter the week at 6-10, while the Yankees are just 6-9. Boston tries to get LHP Chris Sale on track. They're just 1-4 in his past five starts, and he enters the game with a dismal 0-3 record, 9.00 ERA and .361 OBP by opponents, while managing just eight strikeouts over 13 innings. That's definitely not what we've come to expect from Sale over the years. The Yankees counter with LHP James Paxton, who isn't that much better at 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA and .388 OBP.

Boston heads into this one 9-3 in the past 12 vs. LHP, and they'e 2-7 over the past nine games on the road, too. For the Yankees, they're just 1-4 in their past five home outings, and 1-5 in the past six games overall. They're also just 1-5 in the past six games at home vs. LHP. In the past five meetings, the Red Sox have won four of them, with the 'over' cashing in seven of the past nine games overall. The over is also 5-2 in the past seven tangles in the Bronx, while going 4-0 in Sale's past four against the Yankees.

The Astros and Athletics kick off a set in Oakland with RHP Collin McHugh and RHP Marco Estrada squaring off. Oakland looks to cool off Houston, as they enter on a nine-game winning streak. The Astros have won six in a row against winning teams, and they're 6-0 in the past six against RHP, too. They're also 20-7 in the past 27 games against AL West foes. In addition, the Astros are an impressive 33-6 in the past 39 starts by McHugh against AL West opponents. On the flip side, the A's have dropped each of Estrada's past four outings, and they're 1-4 in the past five starts against AL West foes, and 2-5 in the past seven vs. RHP.

Weather Report

The winds will be gusting at 10-13 mph from home plate to Pesky's Pole in right field, so it could be a high-scoring affair. It will be the opposite conditions in Arlington, as the Angels and Rangers will have a strong 15-18 mph wind blowing in from right field to home plate. In San Diego, the Rockies and Padres will be battling winds blowing in from left-center field to home plate at an 11-14 mph clip.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Shane Bieber, Cleveland Indians (1-0, 1.80 ERA, $200): It looks like it could be a breakout season for Cleveland?s 23-year old right-hander. Bieber has been almost unhittable in his first three games (two starts) with a 0.67 WHIP and a .196 opponent on base percentage.

However, he faces his first real challenge of the season as the Indians visit the Mariners and their hot bats. Cleveland is currently a -120 favorite with a total sitting at 8.

SLUMPING

Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Orioles (0-1, 8.76 ERA, $70): We really are sorry Dylan. We just know he is much more talented than his numbers say. He is a man who just doesn?t want to waste away in Baltimore and his pitching reflects that.

There is no way his opponents should have an OBP of nearly .400 with the stuff he has. Bundy will be in a familiar position tonight, as a big underdog. The O?s are currently +205 road dogs against the Rays with a total of 8.


3 STRIKES

BLUE BIRDS STARTERS STILL TAKING FLIGHT

The Blue Jays continue to get great starting performances from there starters. Clay Buchholz joined the party last weekend, allowing one run in six innings in his first start against the Rays. Matt Shoemaker pitched another quality start last night against the Twins, and tonight it?s Aaron Sanchez?s turn. Sanchez has a 1.69 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP in his first three starts of the season. The Twins will be a tough challenge, ranking in the top 10 in batting average and OPS. With the Jays continuing to struggle to hit early in games, maybe take a look at the Under in the first five innings here.

Yanks beat Red Sox 8-0 in matchup of struggling AL East foes
April 16, 2019
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) James Paxton struck out 12 in his first stab at baseball's biggest rivalry, Red Sox ace Chris Sale found his fastball but not better results, and the New York Yankees three-hit Boston 8-0 on Tuesday night in the first game this season between the struggling AL East foes.

Paxton (2-2) pitched two-hit ball for eight innings, walking one and going to just two three-ball counts in a game that took only 2 hours, 23 minutes.

Mike Tauchman hit his first major league homer and drove in four runs, and Clint Frazier and Gleyber Torres also went deep for the Yankees. New York had dropped five of six and is 7-9 a year after winning 100 games.

Sale (0-4) reached 97.5 mph - a positive sign for Boston after his velocity sagged this spring - but still got hit around, allowing four runs and seven hits over five innings. He struck out six and walked one while the World Series champions dropped to 6-12.

PHILLIES 14, METS 3

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Scott Kingery and J.T. Realmuto each had three hits and five RBIs as Philadelphia routed New York.

Kingery and Maikel Franco hit three-run homers and Realmuto had a pair of two-run doubles in a 10-run first inning. Realmuto also went deep for the Phillies in the fourth.

Nick Pivetta (2-1) gave up three runs and seven hits in five innings.

Mets starter Steven Matz (1-1) allowed eight runs - six earned - without retiring a batter. He had allowed only three earned runs total in his first three starts. The lefty's ERA rose from 1.65 to 4.96.

Wilson Ramos and Michael Conforto each hit a solo homer for New York.

PIRATES 5, TIGERS 3, 10 INNINGS

DETROIT (AP) - Starling Marte hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning to lift Pittsburgh over Detroit.

Jung Ho Kang also went deep for Pittsburgh, which blew a 3-0 lead but recovered to win when Marte hit a two-out drive off Shane Greene (0-1). Detroit's closer hadn't allowed a run all season.

Keone Kela (1-0) gave up a tying single by Jeimer Candelario in the ninth, but Nick Kingham was able to close out the Tigers in the 10th for his first career save.

Pittsburgh starter Joe Musgrove permitted his first two earned runs of the season. He yielded six hits and a walk while striking out six in seven innings.

Tigers starter Matthew Boyd struck out the side in the first but eventually allowed three runs in seven innings.

RAYS 4, ORIOLES 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Tyler Glasnow allowed two runs over seven innings in winning his fourth consecutive start to begin the season and Avisail Garcia drove in three runs as Tampa Bay beat Baltimore for its seventh win in eight games.

Glasnow (4-0) allowed hits to six of the first 13 batters, but allowed one hit over his final 4 2/3 innings and ended the outing by retiring 10 in a row.

Garcia hit a two-run homer during a three-run fourth, and added an RBI single in the eighth. Jose Alvarado and Diego Castillo, who earned his second save, each went a perfect inning.

The Orioles got an RBI from both Rio Ruiz and Renato Nunez, and Dylan Bundy (0-2) gave up three runs and three hits over five innings.

CUBS 4, MARLINS 0

MIAMI (AP) - Jose Quintana gave up six hits in seven innings to lead Chicago over Miami.

Quintana (2-1) struck out seven and extended his scoreless innings streak to 14. He didn't allow a runner to reach second until Austin Dean's two-out double in the seventh.

Javier Baez went 3 for 4 and hit his fifth homer, a solo shot to the opposite field off Adam Conley in the eighth. Baez has three hits in each of his last three games. Ben Zobrist hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth for Chicago's fourth run.

Brandon Kintzler relieved Quintana and surrendered a two-out single to Brian Anderson and walked Starlin Castro. Pedro Strop pitched a scoreless ninth for the Cubs, who have won five of six.

GIANTS 7, NATIONALS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) - Evan Longoria, Brandon Belt and Steven Duggar homered off fastballs from Stephen Strasburg and light-hitting San Francisco powered past Washington.

The Giants entered the game with 10 homers through their first 17 games. They won for the fourth time in five games.

Strasburg (1-1) allowed four runs in six innings. Still learning to pitch with a fastball that sits in the low-to-mid-90s, instead of the high-90s heat he possessed before Tommy John surgery and other ailments, he's served up five homers over his past two outings.

Dereck Rodriguez (2-2), son of Hall of Famer and former Nationals catcher Ivan ''Pudge'' Rodriguez, gave up one run and five hits in five innings.

DIAMONDBACKS 9, BRAVES 6

ATLANTA (AP) - Christian Walker homered leading off the ninth inning and Arizona rallied against the shaky Atlanta bullpen. The Braves squandered a massive, knee-buckling homer by Ronald Acuna Jr. and another strong start by Max Fried.

Johan Camargo's three-run double in the fifth put the Braves ahead. Fried finally gave up his first earned runs of the season but left with a 5-2 lead, only to watch the relievers give it away. Chad Sobotka and Jesse Biddle didn't retire anyone as the Diamondbacks pushed across four runs in the seventh to reclaim the lead.

After Ozzie Albies homered in the bottom half to tie the game at 6, Walker drove the second pitch from A.J. Minter (0-2) deep into the seats to start the ninth. Adam Jones brought home two insurance runs with a double that deflected off the glove of Acuna.

Yoshihisa Hirano (1-1) claimed the win. Greg Holland picked up his third save.

Acuna launched a 448-foot shot over the Braves' bullpen in right-center field. Walker went 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Eduardo Escobar also drove in two runs.

BLUE JAYS 6, TWINS 5

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Teoscar Hernandez and Justin Smoak hit two-run singles as Toronto rallied past Minnesota.

Hernandez singled off Twins reliever Trevor Hildenberger in the top of the seventh to give Toronto a 6-4 lead. Hernandez had capitalized against Minnesota's bullpen a day earlier, too, hitting a home run in the eighth inning that gave the Blue Jays a 5-3 win Monday.

The game ended with the Twins' C.J. Cron getting thrown out at home plate. Cron tried to score from first base on a double to left field by Byron Buxton.

Eddie Rosario hit a three-run home run and Jorge Polanco and Marwin Gonzalez also homered for the Twins.

Aaron Sanchez (2-1) allowed four runs in six innings to earn the win for Toronto. Reliever Trevor May (1-1) was charged with the loss for Minnesota.

BREWERS 8, CARDINALS 4

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Christian Yelich hit a three-run homer, his eighth against St. Louis this season, to help send Milwaukee to the win.

Lorenzo Cain and Yasmani Grandal each homered in a five-run third against Jack Flaherty (1-1), when the Brewers went up 5-0.

Yelich's 427-foot homer to right center in the fifth inning was his ninth of the season and put Milwaukee up 8-0. He is the first player to homer in six consecutive games against the Cardinals. The Brewers have won nine of their last 10 against St. Louis, including four in a row.

Brandon Woodruff (2-1) held the Cardinals scoreless until Marcell Ozuna's two-run homer, his seventh, with one out in the sixth. Woodruff allowed two runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out six.

The Cardinals added two in the eighth on RBI singles by Yadier Molina and Kolten Wong.

RANGERS 5, ANGELS 0

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Mike Minor threw a three-hitter for his first career shutout, backed by two-run homers by Joey Gallo and Asdrubal Cabrera, as Texas beat Los Angeles.

Minor (2-1) limited Los Angeles to three singles while throwing 103 pitches with seven strikeouts and two walks.

Cabrera put Texas up 3-0 when his deep fly appeared to ricochet of the wrist of leaping right fielder Kole Calhoun and go over the 8-foot wall in the fourth off Jaime Barria (1-1).

Gallo pulled a 439-foot shot that landed on the concourse beyond the lower-level seats to greet reliever Dillon Peters in the sixth and make it 5-0.

It was the sixth homer of the season for both Gallo and Cabrera.

WHITE SOX 5, ROYALS 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Yoan Moncada hit a pair of solo shots for his first multihomer game and Leury Garcia added a two-run drive to power Chicago past Kansas City.

Yonder Alonso also homered and went 4 for 4 as the White Sox won for the fourth time in five games.

Reynaldo Lopez (1-2) allowed one run and five hits in six innings. Four relievers worked the final three innings for Chicago.

Lucas Duda homered for the Royals.

Kansas City starter Jorge Lopez (0-2) had a career-high 10 strikeouts but gave up three homers and allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings.

ROCKIES 8, PADRES 2

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Nolan Arenado homered for the third straight game - a two-run shot on his 28th birthday - and Jon Gray pitched seven strong innings as Colorado beat San Diego for a two-game sweep and its first three-game winning streak of the season.

Gray (1-3) allowed a home run in an NL-record 16th straight game when Wil Myers connected leading off the fifth, but otherwise tamed the Padres, who have lost three straight for the first time this season. Gray improved to 9-3 lifetime against San Diego by holding the Padres to one run and three hits while striking out five and walking three.

Rookie Garrett Hampson hit his first career-homer and Raimel Tapia had a two-run triple for the Rockies.

Charlie Blackmon hit an RBI double in the second and Tapia a two-run triple in the third. Trevor Story had a career-high three stolen bases.

Wednesday?s 6-pack

? There have been 210 NHL playoff series where a team led 3 games to 0:

? Team leading 3-0 was 128-82 in Game 4 (now 130-82).

? Team leading 3-1 was 59-23 in Game 5

? Team leading 3-2 was 14-9 in Game 6.

? Team that led 3-0 was 5-7 in Game 7.

? Columbus/Islanders were underdogs that led series 3-0 this week.

Quote of the Day
?If you can?t hit the fastball, I can?t help you.?
Unnamed hitting coach to Nomar Garciaparra, many years ago. He told the story on the air during the Dodger game last night.

Wednesday?s quiz
When Gerald Ford became President in 1974, who was his Vice President?

Tuesday?s quiz
Terry Francona has managed the Phillies, Red Sox and Indians.

Monday?s quiz
Russell Wilson played college football for NC State and Wisconsin.

***************************

Wednesday?s List of 13: Mid-week musings??.

13) 4:50am late Monday night/early Tuesday morning, my phone starts beeping; figured some other terrible thing must?ve happened in the world, but instead they announced that Russell Wilson signed a 4-year, $140M extension with the Seahawks.

At 4:50am, 1:50am in Seattle.

I?m guessing they could?ve waited a couple of more hours to announce it, but no??

12) Tennessee basketball coach Rick Barnes was asked directly if he would have left for UCLA if the Bruins had covered his $8M buyout: ?I think I would have been the coach at UCLA.?

Why would he say that now, if he was happy in Knoxville? Once he turned down the UCLA job, why would he talk about it again?

11) Baseball injuries:
? Tampa Bay Rays? ace Blake Snell (toe) goes on the IL- Apparently a granite pole fell on his foot in his bathroom at home. Seriously.
? Brewers put P Freddy Peralta (shoulder) on the IL.

10) When Golden State led the Clippers by 31 points Monday night, some courageous (or drunk) person in Las Vegas wagered $50 on the Clippers to win the game SU, at 100-1 odds. He/she collected $5,000 when the Clippers won, which buys a lot of alcohol.

9) As of Tuesday at 2pm, there were 683 college basketball players in the transfer portal; with 353 D-I college basketball teams, that works out to 1.93 players per team, and it is a big part of what is hurting the quality of play in college basketball.

There is so little continuity from year to year; look at Nevada, which just hired Steve Alford to replace Eric Musselman. Right now, Nevada has zero players who will be eligible to play when the season starts in November. Not one. None. Bupkis.

8) In 2013, Aaron Rodgers signed a deal that pays him $23M a year, and ate up 17.9% of the Packers? salary cap. In 2019, Seattle just signed Russell Wilson to a $35M a year contract that will eat up 18.7% of the Seahawks? salary cap.

7) Phillies 14, Mets 3? Phillies scored eight runs in this game before they made an out; Mets made four errors in first inning. This was only 2nd time ever the Mets allowed 10+ runs in the first inning, other time coming in July 1988.

Steven Matz is first MLB pitcher since Paul Wilson in 2005 to allow eight runs without getting anyone out, although the shortstop did make two errors behind him.

If you like to plan ahead, baseball?s 2026 All-Star Game will be held in Philadelphia, to help commemorate our country?s 250th birthday.

6) New York 8, Boston 0? Chris Sale is now 0-4, 8.50 this season; Boston is paying him $15M this year, then $164M more from 2020-25.

Red Sox found a scapegoat for their 6-11 start when they DFA?d catcher Blake Swihart Tuesday afternoon, and brought Sandy Leon back to the majors.

5) Cardinals? 1B Paul Goldschmidt hit his 7th home run Monday night; he hit 7th home run last year on May 30. St Louis has a very potent lineup.

4) Columbus Blue Jackets have been in NHL for 19 years, had never won a playoff series, until they beat Tampa Bay 7-3 last night and swept the Lightning. Tampa Bay had 30 more points than the Blue Jackets this season, had the NHL?s best record.

This is a big reason why the NHL playoffs are better than the NBA?s version; #8-seeds can and often do win playoff series. Hardly ever happens in the NBA.

3) Temple/USC will start a home/home basketball series this fall, with the Owls visiting the Galen Center this year, with the Trojans coming to Philly in the fall of 2020.

USC poached grad transfer Daniel Otumi away from the Akron Zips; Otumi averaged 14.2 ppg LY and shot 37% behind the arc.

2) Most baseball strategy is fairly cut/dry, but one gray area that gets people?s blood boiling is when a game is tied going to bottom of 8th or 9th inning; does the visiting team use its closer with the game tied to keep the game alive, and then use a lesser pitcher to close the game if they get the lead later on, or do they hold the closer back for when they (hopefully) get the lead?

It is an interesting question; pitchers are so pampered these days, managers more and more see the big picture instead of just today?s game.

We?re a long way from 1980, when the A?s had there different starting pitchers throw 14-inning complete games, because the Oakland relievers back then weren?t very good.

1) NFL Draft is a week from tomorrow; I?m tired of mock drafts, which are nothing but fake news that we learn nothing from. The draft is a fascinating process, but having media people guess multiple times at what is going to happen is simply a waste of time.

NO ONE KNOWS what is going to happen; thats why it is so interesting.

LEADING OFF: Cards decked by Yelich, Snell hurts toe at home
April 17, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors Wednesday:

DECKED!

Michael Wacha and the Cardinals will try to figure out a way to finally get Christian Yelich out. The reigning NL MVP has eight homers against St. Louis already this season, including three on Monday and a three-run shot Tuesday. Yelich is the first player to homer in six consecutive games versus the Cardinals. ''It's almost like he's psychic,'' St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said this week. Heading into the series finale, the Brewers have won nine of their last 10 against the Cardinals, including four in a row. Wacha allowed three homers over 3 2/3 innings in his last start but is 5-0 in 12 career games against Milwaukee. Yelich has 14 homers in 22 games vs. St. Louis since joining the Brewers last season - 12 of them in 16 meetings at Miller Park.

MISHAP AT HOME

Blake Snell, the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner, thinks he might miss just one start after breaking a toe on his right foot at home Sunday night. Tampa Bay's ace left-hander got hurt when he stepped out of the shower and then attempted to move a large granite item. He said it was a ''really dumb'' move. ''It's like a three-piece set and this pole that comes up like 2 1/2, 3 feet. Went to move it, I lifted it up and it wasn't glued to the pole and the pole came crushing down,'' Snell explained. Snell is 2-1 with a 2.16 ERA in four starts this season. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday and is eligible to return April 24.

HELP WANTED

Cincinnati right-hander Sonny Gray, who grew up rooting for the Reds, looks to avoid the bad luck that's plagued his first three starts for them when he takes the mound at Dodger Stadium. Gray has a 2.03 ERA but is 0-2. The Reds were shut out in his first two outings, and in his most recent start, he took a line drive off his left calf and lasted only four innings. Walker Buehler (1-0, 8.25) starts for Los Angeles in the finale of a three-game series that marked Yasiel Puig's return to LA.

COMING UP EMPTY

He's not quite in Chris Davis territory yet, but Daniel Palka is really struggling. Palka, who led the White Sox with 27 homers as a rookie last season, is hitless in 32 at-bats this year. He is 0 for 34 dating to 2018, the longest current skid for a major league position player.

BIRD DOGGED

Greg Bird is back on the injured list for the banged-up Yankees, and that means more opportunities at first base for breakout slugger Luke Voit. Bird has a left plantar fascia tear, and manager Aaron Boone expects the left-handed hitter will miss at least a month. It's the fourth straight year Bird has been injured early in the season, including when he missed all of 2016 following shoulder surgery. He has never played more than 82 major league games in a year. New York (7-9) goes for a two-game sweep of the rival Red Sox (6-12) after James Paxton's dominant outing in an 8-0 rout Tuesday night. J.A. Happ (0-2, 8.76 ERA) faces Boston righty Nathan Eovaldi (0-0, 8.40).

STILL SEARCHING

Matt Harvey (0-1, 10.05 ERA) is looking for his first win with the Angels. The former Mets ace, who spent most of last season with Cincinnati, makes his fourth start for Los Angeles in the finale of a three-game series at Texas. Harvey has already faced the Rangers once this year, allowing eight runs and 10 hits over four innings April 4 in losing his home debut with the Angels, who won the other two games the right-hander has started. He gave up six runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings against Milwaukee during his last start, also at home.
