Atta boy Benny

I don't understand that challenge, but alright.

.800, .690, .680 xBAs... all outs

Hope this good contact finds grass second time through

Fun fact: The most recent Sox HR at Oracle was hit by Adam Dunn...In 2014. He went back to back days on August 12/13 that year and no Sox has homered there since (small sample size, of course). So Mune (or anyone) hitting one would be an interesting "first Sox since..."

He just got scratched. Hill in RF now, batting 9th.

I don't see it actually reported anywhere, seems like engagement bait.

Nice seeing Vargas is good to go

Big George continuing his heater with another HR Season OPS up over .800 now

Just don't want Cleveland pulling too far away. Sox don't play them until June, and it's more fun if we're going into it still within a few games.

Good start again for Truman Pauley. 5 1IP, 1 ER (solo shot), 8 K

I think Skubal and Boras have every intention of him returning ASAP, but I'm very curious to see what Detroit does if the AL continues to underperform. If they are still 7+ games under but think 83 wins might be enough for a wildcard, do they keep Skubal to go for it or cash out before he walks in FA?

Seems like the MiLB ball is livelier this year for some reason (AAA where they use the MLB ball seems unaffected).

DET has now lost 4 game sweeps to both the Twins and Guards, which is...not great for their division odds. Would have been nice for them to put up at least a little resistance to Cleveland's momentum.

Missed ST and working back from an injury, looks like he's still building his way up. Started at 40, a few starts at 50, and now he's up to 70 so he presumably gets let loose soon.

And you can guarantee the Sox would have never gotten that call on the exact same play.

Wouldn't turn it down of course, but definitely greedy. SF has some decent arms going.

The double under the wall was unlucky, but they got in their own way a few times too. And you just knew that fake interference call would find a way to matter. Glad to be done with that ump crew. Kinda weird having the off day in the middle of the trip instead of at either end. Rest up and bounce back in SF.

I would be so angry as a Mariners fan. After refusing to pinch hit Raley and his near .900 OPS with runners on in the 6th yesterday, they pinch hit the sub-.400 OPS Refsnyder in the 5th tonight. On top of Raley hitting lefties better than Refsnyder has to this point, Newcomb has also had reverse splits this season. I mean, I'll take it, but...

Good contact, wrong place

They can't even announce ABS results right
