Yardwork: Mets-Marlins Postponed Due to Rain Despite No Rain
By Tim Ryan
Because the weather here was fine in the sense that it was, you know, not raining. Mets manager Terry Collins and his reaction of “are you kidding?” pretty much sums it up. And Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez also wondered aloud why they played in rain the day before, but opted not to play in a non-rain setting. As usual, decisions made in the area of Flushing, Queens continue to make little if any sense.
Twins 2, Mariners 1 — The nine-game losing streak is over. The Twinkies managed to snap the streak with Frank Liriano (7 IP, 1 ER) outdueling King Felix (8 IP, 2 ER). Here are some thoughtful words from some legendary Twins on the passing of Harmon Killebrew.
A’s 14, Angels 0 — It was the Angels turn to be the Royals yesterday, but the beating was spread rather evenly as both Tyler Chatwood and Kevin Jepsen each gave up five earned runs. Oakland’s Gio Gonzalez was quite the opposite. He went seven splendid shutout innings of one-hit ball.
White Sox 4, Rangers 3 — The first thing I heard when I put on MLB Network’s Quick Pitch this morning was, “you can put it on the booooooooooard, yiiiii-eeeeeeeeeeeessss, yiiiii-eeeeeeeeeeeessss!!!” I will never escape the wrath of Hawk Harrelson.
