Yankees pitchers Gerrit Cole and Aroldis Chapman were both booed off the mound by the hometown fans and they weren’t happy about it. Hey, no big deal gents, Hunter Biden gets booed at home every time he visits.
Word around the league is that the Yanks are not “athletic” enough. Hey Brian Cashman. Two words. Bartolo Colon.
Reds are rolling. Royals are reeling. Cincy is in K.C. Sonny Gray (1-4, 3.27 ERA) returned to the Reds rotation after missing close to a month due to a right groin strain. And Gray was sharp, limiting the Cubs to one run over five frames, fanning eight. Matched against the Royals’ Brady Singer (3-6, 4.74 ERA). Brady is singin’ the blues lately. He’s allowed six runs over his last 11 ²/₃ innings, issuing 10 free passes. Taking Gray and the Reds for 20 units.
Go Fish! Marlins outlasted the Dodgers 2-1 in 10 innings. Will Smith’s throwing error allowed Starling Marte to score the winner. W has us at -1,243 timsalmons.
