And then a two run homer in his second one. If he keeps the strikeouts down and continues to hit, I don't think he should ever see a minor league field again.
Matt Holliday's 45-game on base streak to start the season ends after Joe West tosses him for arguing balls and strikes in the 7th.
The high school team with Wright / Zimmerman / Upton brothers was probably close, though they've tailed off a bit the last couple years

Joe West really is the worst thing to ever happen to professional sports outside of Roger Goodell.
This is a great picture.Wingack said:
Best little league team ever?
Alex Guerrero just hit a grand slam to straight away center, with two outs and two strikes in the 9th to put the Dodgers up 9-8.
And it looks like the Mariners have finally changed closers. Carson Smith in with a one-run lead in the ninth.
Sabathia just got ejected over a ball called a pitch before he got the batter to hit a GIDP. He was pissed before and went apeshit after he got ejected. He was really close to bumping the ump. Call was borderline, I could see his argument, but dude, you just got out of the inning, let it go.
Archer had double digit strikeouts and no walks for the third start in a row. Apparently that's never happened before.
Votto just hit bomb No. 3 tonight in the top of the 7th. With a little bit of luck, he'll get another at bat in the 9th, with a chance for his fourth.
In other news, interesting goings on at Metstown.

I just checked the SD/ATL game and saw this sequence during which SD tied up the game:
Amarista scored, Solarte to third, Myers to second on passed ball.
Alonso walked, Solarte scored, Myers to third, Upton to second.
Spangenberg reached on catcher's interference, Myers scored, Upton to third, Alonso to second.

A's got six runs of their own in the eighth inning just now but just extended their lead by that much, if you remember what happened this past Sunday at Fenway. Kazmir pitched a 1 hitter through 8 for Oakland. Chi Chi Gonzalez pitched very well again for Texas.
You're being kind. Kennedy has been a batting tee, while Greinke has been terrific. This was unexpected.MakMan44 said:
Burnett threw 9 innings, Buccos took 11 to score on a walk-off single by Josh Harrison off of Papelbon. Pirates have been playing great ball for a month now, just can't make up ground on the Cards.
Billy Hamilton must love getting on base against Lester. He's gotten on twice, with a single and a double. He's stolen his way to third each time.
I just don't get MLB replay . For all the crap the NFL has gotten over replay, it's at least generally effective. But with MLB's replay, I legitimately don't have any idea what's going to get called from replay to replay. Case in point, Anthony Rizzo gets hit by a pitch that grazed his pant leg. Replay shows a tiny ripple in the uniform where the ball hit. It's small, but it's there, and at the very least you can't see any room between the ball and his leg. There's nothing there to overturn, and actually something there to confirm the call.
So, of course, it gets overturned. I like the idea, I just feel like "indisputable" has some different meaning at MLB headquarters than it does everywhere else.

Miami with their biggest offensive first inning in team history. Eovaldi gives up 8 runs in 2/3 of an inning.
