Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Warriors 109, Pelicans 98-- Golden State first NBA team to advance.

-- Bucks 92, Bulls 90-- Good side out of bounds play got Bucks winning hoop.

-- Grizzlies 115, Blazers 109-- Is Memphis the most obscure good team in all of professional sports?

-- Calgary 7, Vancouver 4-- Flames' first playoff series win since 2004.

-- Orioles 5, Red Sox 4 (10)-- Weird night in Baltimore; fans were told to stay inside the ballpark, even if the game ended, due to protests outside the stadium. Then the Orioles tied the game; extra inning gave cops enough time to quell the protests.

-- Cardinals 5, Brewers 3-- St Louis may have lost Wainwright for season.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday........

13) There are rumors about that the Bulls will fire coach Tom Thibodeau when the season ends, despite his 255-139 regular season record; Scott Brooks got canned despite a terrific record, Lionel Hollins, Vinny Del Negro and George Karl all got sacked two years ago-- they all had won 56+ regular season games.

To paraphrase Vince Lombardi on that NFL Films clip, "What the hell's going on out there?!?!" Seems like there is too much politics in NBA coaching.

12) New York media has already declared Matt Harvey to be the next Koufax, but Al Leiter had a good tidbit during Saturday's game; when CC Sabathia was Harbey's age, he had already started 178 big league games and won a Cy Young. award-- he got a much earlier start and may be finished earlier, too.

11) The dimensions in Yankee Stadium are a joke; its a softball park in right field and its going to prevent them from having good pitchers, because who in their right mind wants to pitch half their games there? It is every bit as bad as pitching in Coors Field.

10) Minnesota Twins scored a total of four runs in losing Phil Hughes' first four starts; Toronto scored 13-12-12 runs in Mark Buehrle's first three starts.

9) I'm not a big fan of strict platooning in baseball; one team pinch-hit for a lefty hitter in the 4th inning of a game last summer, because the other side put a lefty pitcher in. If a guy isn't good enough to play the first five innings of a game, then he shouldn't be starting in the first place.

8) Through Friday's games, the major league batting average was .245; if the first pitch of an at-bat was put into play, that went up to .318.

7) Ben Zobrist is out 4-6 weeks after getting his knee scoped; A's got taken by Tampa Bay on this trade; Zobrist is damaged goods, a 33-year old who played several years on artficial turf. Go figure.

Oakland's season is already headed for the ashcan; their bullpen sucks, they can't hit lefties-- they're 30-45 since trading Yoenis Cespedes last July 31.

6) Speaking of the Rays, they're 0-10 on replay challenges this season.

5) Mets' rookie catcher Kevin Plawecki hit his first career homer in the Bronx yesterday; my question is this-- if you caught that ball in the bleachers, how much you charging him for it? You have him over a barrel, its his first career home run ball-- HE HAS TO HAVE IT!!!

Let me know what your ideas are....I have my own idea.

4) Steve Stricker missed the cut in New Orleans this week, meaning longest current streak of consecutive cuts made on Tour is Matt Kuchar, at 22.

3) Wow I was watching the Houston-Dallas game on TV Friday night; I'd get tired of the Dallas PA guy pretty darn quick if I went to games there. Tone it down a little, big fella. No need to make everyone deaf.

2) There are betting lines out on some NFL games already; draft is next week, so how you betting games so long before the season starts, before you even know who all the starting quarterbacks are?

1) Peyton Manning donated $3M to Tennessee's football program; thats three million, with an M. How much money does this guy have?

Buehrle the Blue Jays luck charm versus Rays

The Toronto Blue Jays will send veteran Mark Buehrle to the mound to face the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday. The leftie has meant wins when the Jays and Rays meet, with Toronto winning six of Buehrle's past seven starts against Tampa.

Buehrle has only allowed 2.4 runs per outing in those seven games, while twice leaving a zero in the runs column.

The Rays are expected to start Chris Archer opposite Buehrle Sunday.


Indians a hot Under play with Carrasco pitching

The Over/Under count as gone 1-13 in Carlos Carrasco's previous 14 starts for the Cleveland Indians making the AL Central club a hot Under wager when the Venezuelan gets the ball.

Those 14 games have seen Carrasco allow an average of only 1.2 runs per outing while registering 7.3 K's per game. Hell, teams can't even hit Carrasco, as he has only given up four hits per game during that span while only allowing more than four hits 21 percent of the time.

The Indians have already proven to be a solid under play as the team has posted a 5-10 O/U mark overall this season, but an even better 2-8 away from Cleveland. You can thank Cleveland's lack of offense this season, as the team has averaged a mere 3.80 runs per game, good for twenty-first in the majors.

Carrasco is slated to get the start when the Indians visit the Detroit Tigers Sunday.



MLB roundup: Orioles pull out 10-inning win

BALTIMORE -- After Baltimore blew a ninth-inning lead and then fell behind in the 10th against the Boston Red Sox, the Orioles rallied for a dramatic 5-4 victory on a homer by left fielder David Lough on Saturday night.

The Orioles snapped a five-game losing streak. The Red Sox have lost five of eight games after starting the season 7-3.

Boston's Xander Bogaerts led off the 10th with a home run against Baltimore right-hander Brad Brach (1-1) that gave the Red Sox a 4-3 lead. But Orioles center fielder Adam Jones started the bottom half of the inning with a triple off Koji Uehara (1-1) and first baseman Chris Davis tied the score on a sacrifice fly before Lough's towering shot to right won it.

Baltimore's Jimmy Paredes had a career-high four hits, including his third homer of the year.

Tigers 4, Indians 1

DETROIT -- Victor Martinez drove in three runs and Alfredo Simon won his fourth straight start, allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings to halt Detroit's four-game losing streak.

The right-handed Simon (4-0), acquired in an offseason deal with Cincinnati, struck out three, walked two and allowed six hits before being relieved by lefty Tom Gorzelanny, who got the final out of the seventh.

Gorzelanny also worked the eighth and got Brandon Moss to ground into a first-pitch, inning-ending double play with runners on first and third. Joakim Soria pitched the ninth to earn his sixth save.

Cleveland left-hander T.J. House (0-3) was called on to make an emergency start in place of scheduled right-hander Trevor Bauer, who was ill.

Mets 8, Yankees 2

NEW YORK -- An 8 2/3-inning effort from right-hander Matt Harvey and 12 hits from seven players fueled a New York Mets win.

Harvey (4-0) continued his April dominance, giving up two runs and five hits and striking out seven. He is now 8-0 lifetime in April. The Mets (14-4) have won 12 of their last 13 games. The Yankees' four-game winning streak was snapped.

Center fielder Juan Lagares led the Mets at the plate, going 4-for-4 and tying a career high for hits in a game.

Yankees starter C.C. Sabathia (0-4) was tagged for seven earned runs and nine hits with two strikeouts while allowing three home runs.

Braves 5, Phillies 2

PHILADELPHIA -- Eric Young Jr. doubled home the go-ahead run in a three-run seventh inning as Atlanta rallied to beat the Philadelphia, ending a four-game losing streak.

Shelby Miller (3-0) pitched six innings for the victory. Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons homered to start the seventh-inning uprising.

First baseman Ryan Howard hit a two-run homer for Philadelphia, which has dropped nine of 12.

Marlins 8, Nationals 0

MIAMI -- Giancarlo Stanton and Justin Bour provided offense and Tom Koehler turned in an excellent pitching performance for Miami in its fourth straight win.

The Marlins (7-11) handed the Nationals (7-11) their fourth straight loss and will go for a three-game sweep of the series on Sunday.

Stanton went 3-for-3 with a towering home run, a double, a walk and two RBIs. Bour, a rookie first baseman making his first start of the season, went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBIs. Miami shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria added a three-run homer in the eighth, extending his hitting streak to eight games and boosting Miami's lead to 8-0.

Koehler (2-2) pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out four. The Nationals failed to get a runner past second base in the game.

Cardinals 5, Brewers 3

MILWAUKEE -- St. Louis clinched its fifth series win of the season but suffered a potential blow when ace Adam Wainwright left in the fifth inning after sustaining a left ankle injury.

Leading off the fifth, Wainwright hit a popup to Milwaukee first baseman Adam Lind and tripped while running toward first, appearing to roll the ankle as he exited the batter's box. He hobbled off the field and did not return.

The Cardinals jumped on the Brewers early, grabbing a 2-0 lead in the top of the second, and went ahead 5-0 in the seventh on a three-run homer by left fielder Matt Holliday.

Astros 9, A's 3

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Second baseman Jose Altuve hit a three-run homer and right fielder George Springer had a solo shot as Houston defeated Oakland.

The Astros (10-7) are off to their best start since 2006 when they were 12-5.

Astros right-hander Scott Feldman (2-2) allowed three runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings. He blanked the A's for the first six innings before giving up three runs in the seventh.

Rays 4, Blue Jays 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay rallied with three runs in the eighth inning to beat Boston.

Rays reliever Brad Boxberger pitched a perfect ninth inning to cap the comeback win. Third baseman Evan Longoria went 4-for-4 with a double and four singles. The four hits tied a career high that he has achieved five times.

Pirates 2, Diamondbacks 1

PHOENIX -- Startling Marte singled in Neil Walker with two outs in the ninth inning to lift Pittsburgh past Arizona.

Walker doubled off Addison Reed (0-1) with two outs before Marte grounded a single into left field through a hole vacated when the Diamondbacks over-shifted to put shortstop Cliff Pennington more in the hole than normal.

Tony Watson (1-1) gave up singles to Ender Inciarte and A.J. Pollock to open the eighth but got out of the inning on a grounder, a foul popout and a strikeout. Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for his fifth save as the Pirates won their season-high fourth straight.

Royals-White Sox, ppd. rain

CHICAGO -- In a scheduled four-game series between Chicago and Kansas City that had already seen about everything imaginable, a full-scale rainout at U.S. Cellular Field only made sense.

A day after the second game of the series was suspended following the eighth inning with the Royals and White Sox tied at 2-2, forecasted rain for the entire day prompted team officials to cancel Saturday's game.

No makeup date was announced. Friday's game will be completed prior to the start of Sunday's series finale.

Cubs-Reds, ppd. rain

CINCINNATI -- After a 4-hour, 13-minute rain delay, the Chicago-Cincinnati game was postponed.

The postponement was the 10th since Great American Ball Park opened in 2003. No makeup date was scheduled.

The Reds have had three of their seven home games delayed by rain. Cincinnati has also had three extra-inning games at home, including a 7-3 loss to the Cubs in 11 innings Friday night.
