Burnes gave up a walk in the 7th but still has the no-hitter. However, he's thrown 103 pitches so I can't imagine he gets a chance to continue.

His stuff in the zone is good enough to beat hitters. He needs to believe that.

Burnes perfect through 6.

I honestly didn't know Leury could hit one that far.

Yeah, this guy isn't surviving 2 times through the order throwing like this. Got pretty lucky against both Robert and Abreu.

Shorter season and more playoff teams will help some, but also the best teams will clinch even earlier. Maybe the higher seed needs more than a 3-2 or 4-3 home advantage in series. Make it 4-1 and 5-2 to give teams who clinch early more incentive to go for a higher seed.

If you can't play through turbulence with your wife, then keep your dick in your pants.

I really think there's more to the story than we're being told.

Last info I heard was on Thursday when he took infield practice and Tony said he's getting better but there's no timetable for his return. Apparently, our crack group of beat reporters hasn't bothered to ask since then.

These are Baseball Reference odds, the same site that had the Twins as the favorite to win the division as late as June.

Tomorrow's game starts 40 minutes after this one's over, right?

Red Sox games take so damn long the 8th inning decided to come in the 7th inning tonight.

I think it's 13 until this game ends.

This new pitcher for Boston seems happy.

That might be a record for combined height on popups in one inning.

Narrator: They did, in fact, hit him

Lorenzo Cain just hit a grand slam and Milwaukee now leads Cleveland 9-2 in the 5th.

What's a catchers balk?

Never should have even thrown it. Had no chance to get him.

Nothing out of the infield yet.

Brewers have taken the lead 3-2 over Cleveland in the 4th.

Rodon looked good that inning. Cleveland up 2-1 on Milwaukee in the 4th Angels up 1-0 on Houston in the 1st
