NY's final meeting this season against HOU (regular season anyway), they are 6-0 and going for the season sweep.

Ronel Blanco is a 30 year old righty who pitched a no-hitter in his first game this season (on 4/1 vs TOR) and has pitched slightly worse in every succeeding start since. Let's keep that streak going today (we need to beat 6 5 3 3 2 6).

Marcus Stroman has been pretty solid so far but has walked 5 guys in each of his last two starts, which he hadn't done since 2017. Clearly he needs to cut down on that today.

This one is at the odd starting time of 5 PM, not sure why.

Wasnt able to see live, but looks like volpe kinda got himself out there. His primary goal should probably have been to get on base for Soto, oh well

They swung at a lot of pitches outside the zone all night, I need to check but it felt like most of the balls Rizzo fouled off in that 14 pitch AB were actually outside the zone.

Anyway, 473! Judge's longest HR since 2017 off, yes...

Marcus Stroman.

I had another good run, almost swept the road trip. Who wants to start the TB series?
