Second latest in history.

Dodgers are 12-4

[Edgy MD]

When you're good, you're good. And ... here's Mike Trout tripling on a checked swing.

[Frayed Knot]

Ronald Acuna to return to the Braves tonight, his first game since tearing up his knee in the OF last July.

They managed OK without him.



He had like 20 hits in 10 ABs during his brief rehab stint with about 25 going for extra bases.

[Frayed Knot]

We'll miss Wheeler this weekend as he's busy one-hitting the Rox thru 6 this afternoon. 3-0 Phils, top 7





The 2nd place (9-8, 3.5 GB) Marlins looking for the sweep in DC as they lead the (6-14) Nats 2-1 in the 7th





Braves (8-11) and Cubs for the rubber game of their series tonight.

Hard to believe this year is the 30th anniversary for Camden Yards 'already.'

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Reds on the way to falling to 3-19. Drury and Matt Reynolds in their starting lineup today

[Edgy MD]

Drury is batting fifth.



Of course, that happened two or three times with the 2021 Mets.

The most important trend it started was ball teams returning to central city locations.



It's still a genuine pleasure every time I go. Great fans, great genuine ballpark experience, and if there's a bad seat in the house, I haven't found it.



Nationals Park not so much, but I like getting the chili.

.122 / .278 / .135 // .413.



How sad to learn that this is Alcides Escobar's line through his first 90 plate appearances this season.



Sorry. My mistake. That's Joey Votto's line through his first 90 plate appearances this season.



Three RBI! Three!

[Frayed Knot]

Votto had a solid season last year at age 37 following two more mundane ones prior to that. You'd have to figure sss on his stats being That low now but who knows.



Turns 39 at the end of this season and has one more guaranteed season plus a club option/buyout for '24
