The first day of the second half of the season brought more close games, offensive outbursts, and an extra inning walk off. We also saw some new offensive players get on the board as some lineups changed with some of the SP2s being southpaws. Let's take a look. Prior's Tigers 4 Phil's Red Sox 3One of the new offensive bats I mentioned above was Vlad Guerrero Jr. and he left his mark on this game and helped Prior's Tigers get the victory. Vlad started the game with a RBI single in the 1st inning and Paul Goldschmidt hit a sac fly in the 3rd to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead. Carlos Correa cut into the lead with a RBI single in the bottom of the 3rd. The Tigers got insurance they needed in a Vlad solo homer in the top of the 6th and a Francisco Lindor RBI double in the top of the 8th. Buster Posey hit a two run single in the bottom of the 8th but were unable to get a run against Kirby Yates who closed out the victory. The win gives the Tigers the split in the season series with the Red Sox. Degaglia's Yankees 7 Jon's Indians 2Degaglia's Yankees were entering todays game on 2 game losing streak but got back in the win column thanks to a strong pitching performance from Lucas Giolito and Jeff Samardzija. The Yankees got the scoring started in the 3rd inning when Austin Meadows homered. Jon's Indians answered right back with 2 run homer from Starling Marte but that would be the only runs they would score. J.D. Martinez homered in the 4th and added a sac fly in the 5th to give the Yankees the lead for good. Manny Machado added a homer in the 7th. The win gives the Yankees the split in the season series with the Indians. Chris's Twins 4 Tom's Blue Jays 1One inning was all the offense that Robbie Ray and Chris's Twins needed to secure the victory. In the bottom of the 4th Omar Navares got a sac fly, Amed Rosario hit a RBI singe, and Ramon Laureano capped off the inning with a 2 run double to give the Twins a 4-0 lead. In the 9th inning, the Blue Jays loaded the bases on Gio Gonzalez with nobody out but Scott Oberg game on and only gave up a RBI groundout to Willie Calhoun. He then struck out Garret Hampson and Fernando Tatis Jr. to save the game for the Twins. The win gives the Twins the season series sweep against the Blue Jays. Josh's White Sox 2 Bharath's Angels 1 F/11Former Cleveland Indians teammates Mike Clevinger and Trevor Bauer faced off and each went 6 innings only allowing 1 run each. Alex Bregman got the game started in the first inning with a RBI double but Joc Pederson hit a solo shot in 3rd inning to tie the game. Neither team could get much going from there but Josh's White Sox got a walk off homer in the 11th inning from Eugenio Suarez off of Sean Manaea to secure the win. The win gives the White Sox the split in the season series against the Angels. Daren's Astros 12 Justin's Mariners 8Cole vs Kluber should have been a low scoring matchup but this was anything but. Kluber couldn't get out of the 1st inning giving up 6 runs. Mike Trout led the game off for Daren's Astros with a homer and Jose Abreu added a 3 run shot in the inning. Ozzie Albies cut into the lead with a 3 run homer in the second. In the 5th inning the Astros got a Nolan Arenado RBI double and Ohtani 2 run homer. J.T.
