*********************************************************
Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….
— Rockies 8, Nationals 7
Ryan McMahon drew a bases loaded walk on a pitch clock violation which ended the game in favor of the Rockies, who scored twice in bottom of the 9th.
It was the ninth pitch clock violation for Washington closer Kyle Finnegan, most in the major leagues this season.
— They were talking on the Milwaukee Brewers’ game the other night about how Milwaukee players think the baseballs aren’t going as far this season as they have in the past.
They didn’t talk about it for long; I get the impression that MLB is discouraging such talk, but offense is down and less lively baseballs would be a good reason why.
— Cardinals 9, Giants 4
Alec Burleson had two homers, five RBI
Giants have lost six of their last seven games.
— White Sox 5, Tigers 1
Rookie P Thorpe got his first MLB win, throwing six shutout IP.
White Sox won for only 8th time in 40 road games.
— Dodgers 7, Angels 2
Shohei Ohtani hit another home run against his old team.
Dodgers were -410 favorites in this game; you do not see baseball teams favored by that much very often.
— Rangers 6, Royals 0
Wyatt Langford hit a grand slam; he has 18 RBI in his last 21 games.
Royals are 3-10 in their last 13 games, scoring a total of 36 runs.
— Marlins’ P Jesus Luzardo is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a back injury, which likely screws up any chances the Marlins had of dealing him at the trade deadline July 30.
— Wild Card races:
AL- Orioles, Twins, Royals are the three Wild Cards.
Red Sox trail Kansas City by half-game, Astros/Rays trailed KC by 4.5 games.
NL- Braves, Cardinals, Padres are the three Wild Cards.
Arizona is game behind, Pirates/Nationals 1.5 games behind.
— Famous birthdays, June 23rd:
Bryan Brown, 77
Jim Deshaies, 64
LaSalle Thompson, 63
Shaun O’Hara, 47
LaDainian Tomlinson, 45
Rodney McLeod, 34
Tim Anderson, 31
— Dodgers’ OF Chris Taylor is the only major leaguer whose first career home run and 100th career home run were both grand slams.
— White Sox OF Tommy Pham hit a home run down the left field line in Detroit Friday that would’ve been a home run in 28 of 30 ballparks, with Fenway/Wrigley the two exceptions- that seems unusual, except it was a line drive that wouldn’t have cleared the Green Monster.
— Friday night, Cleveland Guardians scored seven runs in second inning against Toronto; the two Blue Jay pitchers threw 70 pitches, just in that inning.
— When Mets scored 10 runs in three innings against Shota Imanaga Friday, his ERA went from 1.89 to 2.96.
— Cardinals’ 1B Paul Goldschmidt became the 100th major leaguer with 350+ home runs.
— Lakers hired JJ Redick as their new head coach; he has zero coaching experience, and is the Lakers’ 7th head coach since Phil Jackson left in 2011.
— RIP to the great actor Donald Sutherland, who passed away at age 88; I remember him best as Matthew McConaughey’s mentor in A Time to Kill, the John Grisham movie, but he was also Hawkeye Pierce in the M*A*S*H movie and he was in Kelly’s Heroes, among many other movies.
He has 200 acting credits on IMDB.com; RIP, sir.
