they honored Tyler Skaggs tonight

[MFS62]

It ended as a no-hitter.



Later

This one was pretty freaky coming as it did on the night they honored Skaggs, and with his mother throwing out the first pitch (for a hard strike btw), and with them all

wearing his jersey name/number, and on the day before what would have been Skaggs's 28th birthday.







Meanwhile in Baltimore, Ryan Stanek (as an opener) and Ryan Yarborough (as the 'starter') are trying to do something Nolan Ryan never did - throw a perfect game.

They're perfect thru 8

[Frayed Knot]

Base hit on the first pitch of the 9th inning.

Clearly the opener/starter experiment is a failure.

Paddack the Padre has a no-no through six, perhaps determined to upstage his imaginary rival Pete Alonso on the day the Polar Bear crushed one 474 feet. It was a perfecto bid through five.

[G-Fafif]

Paddack through seven. Preston Gomez has not taken him out.

Marlin Starlin Castro says Pete Alonso is a more impressive rookie, breaks up Chris Paddack's bid with a homer to lead off the eighth. Sorry, San Diego.

Chris "Don't Call Me Craig" Paddack comes out with a one-hitter after 7.2 IP.
