Another day is in the books. We had a couple of close games with late inning come backs and we also had a couple of complete game shutouts. Overall the pitching staffs and bullpens came to play today as it was our lowest scoring day of the season. Let's take a look! Josh's White Sox 3 Phil's Red Sox 2This was a pitching matchup that didn't disappoint. Zach Greinke and Justin Verlander each went 7 innings only giving up a solo home run each and left it in the hands of their pens. Edwin Encarnacion started the scoring with a solo shot and Hunter Dozier continued to swing a hot bat tying it with a solo shot in the bottom of the 5th. Eugenio Suarez hit a 2 run shot off of Andrew Heaney in the top of the 8th. Bryce Harper cut into the lead with a solo shot in the bottom of the 8th but the Red Sox couldn't get anything going off of Liam Hendricks who pitched a 1-2-3 9th inning for the save. Daren's Astros 4 Chris's Twins 3Daren's high powered offense has been off to a slow start to the season and it looked like it was going to continue today. In the first inning Chris's Twins tagged Max Scherzer for 3 runs thanks to a 2 run shot from Juan Soto and a solo homer from Miguel Andujar. Dinselson Lamet gave the Twins his best start on the season going 6 scoreless innings. Daren got on the board in the bottom of the 7th inning thanks to a Jonathan Villar 2 run single and ended up winning the game in the bottom of the 8th when Nolan Arenado hit a 2 run homer off of Alex Wood for the lead. Roberto Osuna shook of his blown save from earlier and closed out the victory. Eddy's Royals 4 Jon's Indians 0If you told me a pitcher in this matchup would pitch a complete game shutout I would have bet on Walker Buehler. I would have been wrong. Zach Eflin pitched a complete game shutout and outdueled Buehler. Eflin got a RBI single from Ketel Marte in the 3rd inning and that's all he needed. In the 6th inning the Royals gave Eflin some insurance runs with a Christian Yelich solo homer and RBI hits from Freddie Freeman and Adalberto Mondesi. Eflin was very efficient and rarely got into trouble for the victory. Prior's Tigers 5 Billy's Orioles 3 F/11This game was easily the game of the day. The Orioles started the scoring with Ronald Acuna leading off the bottom of the 1st inning with a solo homer. Mike Moustakas also homered to give Billy's Orioles a 2-0 lead. Cavan Biggio hit solo homers in the 3rd and 5th inning to tie the game and Francisco Lindor added a solo shot in the 5th to give the Tigers the lead. Kirby Yates came on for the save but gave up a solo homer to the first batter he faced Josh Bell to tie the game and send it to extra innings. In the top of the 11th Max Kepler hit a 2 run homer to give the Tigers the victory. Degaglia's Yankees 3 Justin's Mariners 1After a rough opening day start Carlos Carrasco has really settled down and now has pitched 3 straight quality starts and leading his team to 3 straight victories. Once again Degaglia's Yankees got the lead early by getting 3 runs in the first inning off of Stephen Strasburg thanks to a 2 run single from Manny Machado and a RBI single from J.D. Martinez. Strasburg was great from there but the damage was already done. Joey Votto got Justin's Mariners on the board with a RBI single but it wasn't enough. Carlos Martinez pitched a 1-2-3 9th inning to earn the save. Bharath's Angels 4 Tom's Blue Jays 0Jacob deGrom gave us the pitching performance of the season so far pitching a complete game shutout with 15 strikeouts. The back to back Cy Young winner got a 2 run double from Joey Gallo in the first inning and that's all deGrom needed. Yasmani Grandal added a 2 run homer for insurance. Tom's Blue Jay squad continues to pitch well but couldn't muster up much against deGrom. Standings
