Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack
-- Mets 4, Rays 3-- Wilmer Flores gets GW RBI for second Friday in row, in game where both bullpens coughed up leads late.
-- Angels 6, Orioles 4-- Mike Trout has played on his birthday four times, and hit three home runs-- he is pretty good.
-- Red Sox traded Mike Napoli to Texas, where he is expected to platoon at 1B.
-- Catcher McCann, SS Iglesias got into a brief scuffle in the Detroit dugout, after the young SS didn't dive to keep a ball from leaving the infield. Tensions are high.
-- Blue Jays 2, Bronx 1 (10)-- All three runs came on solo homers.
-- A's 3, Astros 1-- Its always Sonny in Oakland when Gray pitches.

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Some Week 1 NFL knowledge.....
13) Cincinnati Bengals are favored at Oakland in Week 1, but they're 0-10 at the O.Co Coliseum and have covered once in their last six tries as a road favorite. They did win once in four tries against the Raiders when the Silver and Black played in LA.
12) Denver is 23-3 SU in its last 26 home openers, 10-4-1 vs spread in last 15.
11) Arizona Cardinals won eight of their last nine home openers.
10) Underdogs are 17-7 vs spread in Carolina road games the last three years.
10a) Dick Enberg just made an amazing Roller Derby reference in the 8th inning of the Phils-Padres game, mentioning that if a jammer put his/her hands on his/her hips, it automatically stopped the action. Who remembers that? Enberg is a gem!!!!
