Around the League 🚩
The Yankees beat the Rays again thanks in part to two home runs from Aaron Judge
Zach Greinke became the fifth pitcher ever to strikeout 1,000 different batters in his start Saturday, but the Royals lost to the Brewers 4-3
The Dodgers kept their good times rolling with a 4-2 win over the Padres to improve to 25-15 on the year
The Orioles edged the Pirates 2-0 behind seven shutout innings from Tyler Wells
Bo Bichette drove in two runs to key a 5-2 win over the Braves to take their weekend series
Bryce Miller lowered his ERA to 0.47 for the season with seven shutout innings for the Mariners in their 5-0 win over the Tigers
They are officially unwatchable, must be the worst performing offense in MLB, cannot score more than solitary runs, never a sustained rally, zero power, beaten up by the worst teams in the league. How can the manager not be held accountable for such a travesty??
Would have been better for an actual rainout, since now both teams wasted starters.
