Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

Anatomy of a marathon; notes on the 19-inning game in the Bronx Friday:

-- Red Sox won 6-5 in 19 innings, after blowing leads in 9th, 16th and 18th innings.

-- Game took 6:49-- it started at 7:24pm, ended at 2:13am.

-- Red Sox left 20 men on base; Mike Napoli was 0-8 with four Ks.

-- Carlos Beltran, Didi Gregorius both went 1-6; neither guy started.

-- Total of 628 pitches were thrown; quick turnaround for umpires, who don't get to sit down during game. Saturday's game is at 1:05.

-- 249 pitches were called a ball; only 247 of the 628 pitches were swung at, with 132 pitches called strikes.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud...........

13) Tampa Bay's new manager is Kevin Cash. Bottom 8th in Miami last night, Marlins have go-ahead run on second, two out, Giancarlo Stanton up in an 8-8 game. Mike Morse is on deck. A drunken monkey knows you walk Stanton and pitch to Morse, but no, they didn't and Stanton gets the go-ahead single.

There is no defense for such hideous strategy; Rays had rallied from down 8-1 to tie game- they wound up losing 10-9 in the ninth. Cash is a rookie manager, for sure, but he'll never become a veteran manager unless he wakes up.

12) Adrian Gonzalez had knocked in a run in six straight plate appearances; since 1950, the holder of the record in this category is Jermaine Dye, with seven in 1999.

11) Cincinnati Reds are 4-0, with all four wins in their final at-bat.

10) Oakland A's have played five games; five different guys batted 2nd.

9) In their first four games, Bronx Bombers have been outscored 12-1 in the first five innings.

8) Calgary Flames are in NHL playoffs for first time in six years; Winnipeg has a team in playoffs for first time since 1996. People there are VERY happy.

7) Texas football coach Charlie Strong forgot his quarterback's first name during a deposition of a lawsuit between the Longhorns and Oklahoma State. Lot of coaches would forget their wife's name before their QB's.

6) Part of the reason Bobby Hurley bolted Buffalo for Arizona State was that Buffalo AD wouldn't negotiate with Hurley's agent. That and the maximum possible weather upgrade, moving from western New York to Tempe.

5) If I'm Danny Hurley, I get my brother on the phone, schedule a road game in the Arizona desert this year, with a return trip to URI next year. Even if ASU doesn't give the Rams a return game, URI should be better than the Sun Devils this coming season.

4) As I'm typing this, I can hear a guy outside walking down the street, cursing out whoever he is talking to on his cellphone. Keep it classy, Colonie.....

3) Friday's Cubs-Rockies game was the 12th game in major league history where both pitchers batted 8th; I'm just not a fan of this, but managers keep doing it. DJ LaMahieu went 3-4 in 9-hole for Colorado, but scored only once.

2) Best wishes to Iowa State basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, who will undergo open heart surgery soon to repair a valve in his heart. Hoiberg is so calm, he seems like the last guy who would have heart problems. Get well soon, sir.

1) What a week for Jim Nantz; Final Four last weekend, Masters this week. Wonder which event he prefers doing?

Red Sox-Yanks to collide 11 hours after marathon game

If you catch any New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox players yawning in their Saturday matinee matchup, you certainly can't blame them.

The storied rivals participated in a 19 inning classic Friday that stretched six hours and 49 minutes before the Sox finally emerged victorious in a 6-5 victory in the Bronx. The biggest impact of the marathon game will be felt today as both sides square off once again at 2:05 p.m. EST - just 11 hours after the contest finished.

The Beantowners were forced to use eight relievers while the Yanks trotted seven of their bullpen arms out in the exhausting tilt.

Joe Kelly and Adam Warren get the nod for Boston and New York, respectively. Last season for the St. Louis Cardinals, Kelly lasted an average of 5.6 innings per start his 17 appearances. The 27-year-old Warren will be making his first start in 561 days.

Both sides are currently priced at -110 at most books with the total sitting at 8.5.

MLB roundup: Red Sox win 19-inning marathon

NEW YORK -- Mookie Betts put the finishing touch on a bizarre night at Yankee Stadium by lifting a sacrifice fly in the top of the 19th inning as the Boston Red Sox outlasted the New York Yankees 6-5 in a game that included a power failure in the 12th and took more than seven hours to complete.

The Red Sox took their third lead in extra innings when shortstop Xander Bogaerts singled in his fourth straight at-bat. He stole second, advanced to third on a passed ball and trotted home when Betts lifted a 2-2 pitch to center field.

On his third attempt to secure the victory, Steven Wright (1-0) struggled again. He gave up a leadoff single to Jacoby Ellsbury, but the game finally ended at 2:13 am ET by getting designated hitter Garrett Jones on a double play.

Not including the delay, the game took 6 hours, 49 minutes to complete and in terms of time was the longest in Boston history and the second longest in New York history. The teams went a combined 5-for-28 with runners in scoring position, stranded 33 runners and struck out 28 times.

The Yankees tied the score twice on home runs, getting a two-out solo shot from

third baseman Chase Headley in the ninth against Edward Mujica and a leadoff home run

by first baseman Mark Teixeira in the 16th off Wright. Boston had taken the lead in the top of the 16th when David Ortiz blasted a home run off Esmil Rogers.

Reds 5, Cardinals 4

CINCINNATI -- Joey Votto hit a pair of two-run home runs and right-hander Jason Marquis pitched six solid innings in his Cincinnati debut.

Right-hander J.J. Hoover (2-0) picked up the victory for the Reds (4-0). Flame-thrower Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts for his second save.

Center fielder Randal Grichuk, making his first start of the season for St. Louis, hit a two-run homer off Marquis, who overcame early wildness to last six innings, allowing three runs and five hits with two walks and seven strikeouts.

John Lackey started for St. Louis (1-2) and the right hander gave up four earned runs and four hits in six innings.

Marlins 10, Rays 9 (10)

MIAMI -- Miami snapped out of a scoring slump and posted its first win of the season when Dee Gordon hit a one-out double and scored on Christian Yelich's one-out single in the 10th inning.

Gordon finished with three hits and four runs scored.

Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton gave the Marlins a 9-8 lead in the eighth with a hard single up the middle. That scored Gordon, who had reached on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on a steal, his second of the night.

Tampa Bay trailed 8-1 before rallying against the Miami bullpen for seven runs in the seventh inning, thanks primarily to three bases-loaded walks and a three-run pinch-hit double by David DeJesus.

Twins 6, White Sox 0

CHICAGO -- Minnesota's Tommy Milone threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings to spoil the home opener of the Chicago White Sox.

Milone allowed two hits and two walks, struck out seven and retired 16 straight hitters after a bunt single by Chicago second baseman Micah Johnson started the second inning.

Second baseman Brian Dozier went 2-for-6 with a home run, first baseman Joe Mauer hit a run-scoring single in the first inning for the Twins' first RBI of the season and center fielder Jordan Schafer lofted a two-run single in Minnesota's three-run ninth.

Hector Noesi started and took the loss for the White Sox, who have been outscored 27-7 and started 0-4 for the first time since 1995.

Padres 1, Giants 0

SAN DIEGO -- Wil Myers' RBI double in the eighth inning led San Diego past San Francisco.

Myers drove in pinch-hitter Clint Barmes, who had reached on a one-out walk, to break the Padres' 21-inning scoreless stretch.

Joaquin Benoit (2-0) got the win after working a clean eighth. Craig Kimbrel posted his first save in his first save opportunity by pitching the ninth. Jeremy Affeldt (0-1) took the loss.

Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 3 (10)

PHOENIX -- Ender Inciarte singled against a five-man infield to drive in Cliff Pennington with the winning run in the 10th inning.

Pennington walked with one out against left-hander J.P. Howell (0-1), took second on a wild pitch and stole third as A.J. Pollock walked. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly visited the mound and deployed a five-man infield, with right fielder Yasiel Puig moving to third base, but Inciarte hit it the other way, pulling a ball inside the bag at first base for his first career game-winning hit.

First baseman Paul Goldschmidt's three-run homer in the third inning accounted for the other D-backs runs. Goldschmidt, who has 14 homers against the Dodgers in 58 games, also singled in the first and eighth innings. Catcher Yasmani Grandal homered and shortstop Jimmy Rollins had a two-run double for the Dodgers.

A's 12, Mariners 0

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Rookie left fielder Mark Canha paced a 16-hit attack with his first major-league home run and left-hander Drew Pomeranz threw seven shutout innings in Oakland's rout.

Canha crushed a two-run homer to deep left field off Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker in the second inning. He went 3-for-5, drove in two runs and scored three times in the opener of a three-game series. Canha, who made his third straight start, is batting .500 (7-for-14) with six RBIs and two doubles to go with his home run.

Blue Jays 12, Orioles 5

BALTIMORE -- Toronto banged out eight doubles in a 16-hit attack that helped starter Mark Buehrle earn his 200th victory in a rout of Baltimore.

Toronto (3-1) had just a .218 average through its first three games but scored 10 runs on 10 hits in the first four innings, spoiling the Orioles' home opener. That made life easier for Buehrle (1-0), who reached his milestone by giving up two runs on eight hits in six innings.

Catcher Dioner Navarro and third baseman Josh Donaldson both drove in three runs. Center fielder Dalton Pompey and right fielder Jose Bautista each had two RBIs. Bautista went 3-for-3 with four runs scored before coming out in the bottom of the sixth. Seven Blue Jays got doubles, led by two from Pompey.

The Blue Jays pounded Orioles starter Bud Norris (0-1) for eight runs on seven hits in three-plus innings.

Astros 5, Rangers 1

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Houston starting pitcher Collin McHugh picked right up from his impressive rookie season, turning in a five-hit gem to spoil Texas' home opener at Globe Life Park.

McHugh won his eighth consecutive game dating back to last August by keeping a Rangers offense coming off a 10-run explosion a day earlier in Oakland completely off-kilter through the six innings he worked.

McHugh struck out four and walked two while throwing 87 pitches before first-year Houston manager A.J. Hinch lifted him after giving up a single run in the bottom of the sixth .

Rockies 5, Cubs 1

DENVER -- Colorado won its home opener over the Chicago Cubs at Coors Field, tying a franchise record with its fourth straight victory to begin a season.

Batting second to start a game for the first time in nearly six years, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki doubled home two runs in the fifth off Cubs starter Travis Wood (0-1) to put the Rockies ahead.

The Rockies tacked on two runs in the sixth when first baseman Justin Morneau, who entered the game 1-for-13, led off with a home run, and left fielder Corey Dickerson singled home a run, giving him seven RBIs for the season.

Rockies starter Tyler Matzek threw just 40 of 84 pitches for strikes and was lifted with the score tied at 1-1 after giving up a walk and single to begin the fifth. Christian Bergman (1-0) took over and snuffed out that rally.

Tigers 8, Indians 4

CLEVELAND -- Detroit exploded for 18 hits in rolling to a victory over Cleveland before a sellout crowd in the Indians' home opener at Progressive Field.

Third baseman Nick Castellanos belted a two-run home run and four other Tigers had three hits as Detroit extended its season-opening winning streak to four games. Right-hander Alfredo Simon (1-0) pitched into the sixth inning to get the win. Right-hander Joakim Soria got the last out of the game for his first save.

The Tigers did most of the damage against Indians right-hander Zach McAllister, who started but only lasted four innings. McAllister (0-1) gave up five runs on 13 hits.

Phillies 4, Nationals 1

PHILADELPHIA -- Shortstop Freddy Galvis went 3-for-3 and pinch-hitter Cesar Hernandez keyed Philadelphia's four-run seventh inning with a two-run single.

Washington center fielder Michael Taylor led off the game with a homer, accounting for the Nationals' run.

Gio Gonzalez, making his first start of the season for the Nationals, made the 1-0 lead stand up through 6 1/3 innings. But after retiring the leadoff hitter in the seventh, he walked left fielder Grady Sizemore and catcher Cameron Rupp and hit third baseman Andres Blanco with a 1-2 pitch to load the bases. Xavier Cedeno came on in relief for Washington. Hernandez, batting for winning pitcher Luis Garcia (1-0), slapped the first pitch through the right side, scoring pinch-runner Odubel Herrera and Rupp.

Cedeno hit center fielder Ben Revere with a pitch, reloading the bases. Galvis then greeted Craig Stammen, the third Washington pitcher of the inning, with an RBI single to right. Second baseman Chase Utley made it 4-1 with a sacrifice fly.

Philadelphia starter Jerome Williams, 0-4 with a 7.40 ERA in spring training, allowed the leadoff homer to Taylor but otherwise went unscathed in six innings.

Pirates 6, Brewers 2

MILWAUKEE -- Pedro Alvarez and Starling Marte hit solo home runs and Neil Walker had three hits, including two doubles, as Pittsburgh snapped a season-opening three-game losing streak.

First baseman Alvarez had two hits, including an RBI single, as did catcher Francisco Cervelli for the Pirates, who had dropped back-to-back games on walk-off hits at Cincinnati before coming to Milwaukee.

Left-hander Jeff Locke started 2015 on a high note, working six innings and holding Milwaukee to two runs, seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts.

Braves 5, Mets 3

ATLANTA -- Phil Gosselin lined a bases-loaded, two-out single into center field in the eighth inning to give Atlanta a home-opening win.

The Braves have won its first four games of the season for the first time since 1994 when they started 7-0.

The Atlanta bullpen pitched four scoreless innings and has not allowed a run in 15 innings this season.

The Braves opened a 2-0 lead in the first inning and made it 3-0 with an unearned run in the third.

The Mets tied the score with three runs in the fourth. Curtis Granderson worked a leadoff walk and scored when David Wright hit a long homer to left, his first of the season. Left fielder John Mayberry Jr. followed by hitting the next pitch for his first homer of the season.

Royals 4, Angels 2

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Kansas City picked up where it left off last year, spoiling the Angels' home opener.

The Royals (4-0) took two from the Angels in Anaheim in last season's American League Division Series on their way to a three-game sweep and eventual trip to the World Series. With less fanfare Friday, the Royals won in much the same way -- clutch hitting and solid pitching, particularly from the bullpen.

Royals left-hander Jason Vargas claimed the victory after giving up two runs, five hits and one walk in six innings. The only runs the Angels pushed across against him came on right fielder Kole Calhoun's RBI double in the third inning and third baseman David Freese's solo homer in the sixth. Both run-scoring hits came with two outs.

Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer and center fielder Lorenzo Cain drove in runs in the first and fifth innings, respectively, before ex-Angel Kendrys Morales homered in the sixth. Cain drove in another run with a bases-loaded walk in the ninth.
