— White Sox 17, Tigers 7— Avasail Garcia went 5-5, had 7 RBI for Chicago.

— Phillies 10, Marlins 0— Miami sat Stanton, Ozuna and Yelich, and it showed.

— Indians 3, Royals 2 (10)— Cleveland ties game in 9th, wins it in 10th- their 22nd win in a row.

— Texans 13, Bengals 9— Deshaun Watson won his first NFL start on his 22nd birthday; he had a 49-yard TD run for the game’s only touchdown.

— Cincy is first NFL team since 1939 to play their first two games at home and not score a TD in either game.


**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Things I’m looking for this weekend……..

13) New England’s defense looked slow against the Chiefs; now they visit Bourbon Street and a Saints team that scored only one TD in five red zone drives at Minnesota Monday.

12) Clemson won its last three games with Louisville, but they’ve all been close. Tigers shut down Auburn 14-6 last week, holding them to 117 yards— impressive display of defense.

11) The two rookie QB’s who are starting both get their first NFL road start this week. Deshaun Watson started at Cincinnati Thursday; DeShone Kizer starts at Baltimore- the Ravens forced five turnovers in their win at Cincinnati LW.

10) Oklahoma State beat Pitt 45-38 LY, scoring game-winning TD with 1:28 left; now they visit a Pitt squad that got crushed by Penn State LW, after needing OT to beat I-AA Youngstown.

9) Andy Reid welcomes his old team, the Eagles, to Arrowhead, with both teams coming off of sold road wins. Kansas City’s offense looked explosive as hell against the Patriots. Philly ended a 5-game skid against their rival Redskins. This will be one of the week’s better games.

8) Minnesota won 48-14 at Oregon State last week; Gophers threw 8 passes in the whole game, which is very 70’s-ish. Middle Tennessee won SU at Syracuse LY, a big win for them.

7) Should be lot of Illinois people in the Tampa Bay area this weekend, with Illinois playing South Florida Friday night and the Bears visiting the Bucs Sunday. Hopefully life is returning to some degree of normalcy in all of Florida; if not now, then soon.

6) Baylor has sunk quickly, losing their first two games to Liberty/UTSA; now they’re a 14-point underdog at Duke, which just doesn’t look right on my notepad, but it is.

5) Chargers play their first game in that soccer stadium in Carson,, CA, their temporary home for the next three years, until they move into the new domed stadium in Inglewood that they’ll share with the Rams. Miami practiced in California this week; after the game they go back to south Florida and try to resume normal life, after the hurricane.

4) Wyoming QB Josh Allen didn’t fare too well against Iowa, now the Oregon Ducks come to Laramie, giving the Cowboys a rare home game against a Power 5 opponent.

3) Green Bay’s defense played really well LY; now thy christen Atlanta’s new dome, after they lost to the Falcons twice LY, including a playoff game. Excellent Sunday night game.

2) Missouri is a 7-point favorite over Purdue, despite losing at home to South Carolina LW and then firing their defensive coordinator, after only two games. Maybe it was all his fault?!?!?!

1) Odell Beckham’s agent hopes the Giants’ offense struggles again this week, so guys on TV can blame everything short of the hurricanes on his contract issues. Beckham doesn’t block for a living, which is the Giants’ biggest problem right now.
