Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— Four NFL referees have retired since the end of last season. 4 out of 17.

— Blue Jays’ closer Roberto Osuna gets suspended for 75 games; he can return August 4.

— Bryce Harper agreed to be in the Home Run Derby in Washington next month.

— Chris Webber was traded four times in his career, which raises some questions.

— Carmelo Anthony won’t opt out of his $27.9M deal for next year because, well, he’s not stupid.

— NHL Draft is in Dallas this year; they move it around the country. Smart.


**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) NBA Summer League is coming up on July 6; the games are in Las Vegas, and you can bet on them. Caution is advised.

Few years ago, I’m at the Summer League in Cox Pavilion at UNLV and I’m sitting behind a guy who looks like a bodybuilder. Minnesota-Cleveland game is about to begin, and this fellow has bet on the Timberwolves. He is telling his buddy how Minnesota won easily the day before and how they should crush the Cavaliers in this game.

12) One small problem; Minnesota had 17 or 18 guys on its roster; the 8 or 9 who played the day before, when they won big, weren’t the 8 or 9 who were playing in this game. Cleveland wins by 8 or 10 points, which reminded me of Oscar Madison’s great quote from The Odd Couple:

“There is no such thing as a sure thing. Thats why they call it gambling.”

11) Colorado Rockies set an unenviable major league record by allowing 8+ runs in nine straight home games, a streak that ended Thursday.

10) Chad Bettis is having a bad season; he has a 9.69 RA in his last five starts, a 5.23 ERA for the season, but if you bet on the Rockies in the first 5 innings of all his starts, you would be 13-1-1.

Colorado is 9-6 in all his starts; over is 7-6-2; their bullpen has been lousy in his starts.

9) The new sports book at the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ got really good reviews on ***********.

Sadly, here in New York State, our politicians have dragged their feet, so it looks like that there may not be any legal sports betting here until 2019. They’re losing a lot of money, since people will drive to New Jersey and spend their money in restaurants/bars in the Garden State.

8) NBA isn’t the only place for aspiring pro hoopers; guy named Malcolm Thomas, who used to play for San Diego State, is making $1.2M a year playing over in Russia.

7) Jameis Winston is making $705,000 this year, so his 3-game suspension will cost him 17.6% of that, or $124,080. Doubtful he will appeal, because if he did and it stretched out into 2019, then it could get way more expensive.

Winston will make $20.4M in 2019; 17.6% of that is $3,590,400. You do the math.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is Tampa Bay’s backup QB, by the way. He is 48-70-1 as an NFL starter, 2-1 with Tampa Bay last year. He’s played for seven different NFL teams.

6) Baseball’s All-Star break is a week later than usual this year, which means the NBA Summer League doesn’t coincide with the four days without baseball. That not good.

5) Barry Trotz is the 7th NHL coach to leave his team right after winning the Stanley Cup, most of any sport. Only one of those seven teams repeated as champ with their new coach, and that was after the first coach was diagnosed with brain cancer.

4) It is good to know people: ESPN has an NBA reporter named Brian Windhorst; his mom was Lebron James’ grade school Math teacher.

3) Birmingham, AL has a team in the new AAF; they’re only city that had teams in the WFL, USFL, WLAF, and XFL.

Here are the eight cities that will have teams in the AAF, a spring football league starting next year: Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Orlando. Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego.

2) NFL referee Gene Steratore is retiring and will likely land at CBS as a rules analyst- he worked the Super Bowl in February, so good time for him to move on. Wonder if he will keep refereeing big-time college basketball games.

1) In their last 17 series, San Diego Padres are 1-16 in series openers, 25-10 in other games.

Haves and Have Nots
There have been plenty of haves and have nots in baseball this season. There are four teams in particular who are awful, and great fade candidates night in and night out. It's no surprise that some of the worst teams in terms of run differential are also the worst in the majors as far as winning percentage. The Royals, Marlins, Orioles and Rangers are each in last place in their respective divisions, and the White Sox would also be in the basement in each of the other five divisions. Texas has actually been showing some signs of life in the win-loss column lately, chopping down their differential. But the other four teams are awful and showing no signs of turning things around. Enjoy!

Looking Ahead

Saturday, June 23
The Padres and Giants will continue their series in San Francisco. San Diego has had magic in the third game of a series, going 10-2 across their past 12 Game 3 of a series. However San Diego will be hard pressed to pick up the victory, as they're just 7-20 in the past 27 road games against a left-handed starter. They're also 0-4 in the past four vs. LHP. The Giants counter with Andrew Suarez, but they're 1-4 in his past five starts at home and 2-6 in his past eight overall. San Francisco is 10-3 across their past 13 at home while going 12-2 in their past 14 vs. RHP. The 'over' has connected in five of the past seven in this series.

If the Dodgers and Mets are able to get their game in (see below), the Dodgers could stay hot against the scuffling Mets. Los Angeles has posted a 9-1 record over the past 10 road games against a right-handed starting pitcher. They're also 8-3 in the past 11 overall vs. RHP while going 23-9 in the past 32 overall. After a slow start L.A. is rolling along and finally living up to preseason expectations. The Mets started out red hot but have been a dumpster fire lately. They're just 16-36 over the past 52 games while going 9-24 in their past 33 home games against a team with a winning record. They're also 7-20 in the past 27 home games. The Mets have really let down Jacob deGrom, as they're just 2-10 in his past 12 starts at home, and 1-5 in the past six overall. Citi Field has been a second home for the Dodgers, as they're 6-0 in their past six visits while going 11-1 in the past 12 meetings overall against the Dodgers. The 'under' has cashed in deGrom's past six starts against L.A., while going 4-1 in the past five battles in Queens.

In the only west coast game, the Blue Jays look to right the ship after a 2-1 setback to the Angels. The Jays haven't fared well on Saturday, going 2-8 in their past 10 on the day. They're also just 1-10 across the past 11 road outings while going 0-4 in the past four against American League West foes. They have also struggled with Marcus Stroman on the hill, going 0-4 in his past four starts while going 1-4 in his past five on the road. On the flip side, the Halos have been hot with a 7-1 mark across the past eight home outings. They're also 6-0 in the past six home games against a team with a losing record and 8-1 in their past nine home games vs. RHP. The 'under' is 3-1-1 in the past five meetings, while going 5-2-2 in the past nine in Anaheim.

Weather Report
The weather will affect the Steel City all afternoon, finally clearing up around 7 p.m. ET or so. The Diamondbacks and Pirates could have their 4:05 p.m. start delayed or interrupted by rain if they can get started. The winds will be blowing out to lft field at a 11-14 mph clip. Rain will also rear its ugly head in the nation's capital, affecting the Phillies and Nationals. There is a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms until 6 p.m., with a 30 percent chance for the following two hours. There could be delay in this one, too.

Rain won't be an issue in Atlanta and Cincinnati, but both parks will experience winds blowing out to left field from 10-13 mph.

The nationally televised games on Saturday night between the Mariners-Red Sox and Dodgers-Mets will experience thunderstorms. There are 50 percent or greater chances of rain in both cities well into the night. It wouldn't be surprising to see each battle pushed back to Sunday as part of a potential day-night doubleheader.

Sunday, June 24
Luke Weaver and Jhoulys Chacin will lock horns on Sunday afternoon. The Cardinals have posted an impressive 9-3 record across his past 12 road starts, while going 10-4 in his past 14 inside the division. However, they're 1-4 in his past five when working on four days of rest. Milwaukee has been on fire with Chacin on the bump, going 10-2 in his past 12 starts, including 5-0 in his past five starts at home. They're just 10-2 on his past 12 starts on grass, while going 4-1 in the past five inside the division. The 'under' is 4-0 in Weaver's past four on four days of rest, but the 'over' is 4-0 in his past four on the road. The under is the prevailing trend for Chacin and the Brewers. The under is 21-5-1 in the past 27 Sunday games, while going 5-1 in Chacin's past six starts at home and 7-2 in his past nine overall.

The Royals wrap up their set against the Astros and they'll face a familiar face, Justin Verlander. He hasn't faced the Royals this season, but he is 4-3 with a 3.28 ERA in 10 starts against Kansas City since the start of the 2015 season. The Royals are batting just .238 against Verlander over those 10 outings, walking 11 times and striking out 67 times across 71 1/3 innings. Kansas City is just 1-5 in the past six Sunday games, and they enter Saturday with a 5-21 mark in the past 26 against AL West foes. They're also 2-9 in the past 11 starts by Jason Hammel against AL West clubs.

The Phillies and Nationals will be playing under the lights in the nation's capital, and it could be the second end of a doubleheader if Mother Nature washes out Saturday's contest. The Phillies have closed out a series very well lately, going 4-0 in the past four in Game 3 of a series. While they're 1-4 in Nick Pivetta's past five starts, and 0-5 in his past five when working on five days of rest, they're 5-1 in his past six on a Sunday. They're also 8-2 in Pivetta's past 10 starts against a team with a winning record. Washington has managed a 1-4 mark across their past five on Sunday, while entering play Saturday with a 15-7 mark in the past 22 against a winning side.

Weather Report
The weather will be tricky for the M's-Red Sox game on Sunday afternoon, with a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms from 2 p.m. ET through the early-evening hours. In Atlanta, there is a 30 percent chance of rain from 2-4 p.m. ET for the O's-Braves finale.

In Cleveland rain won't be an issue, but the wind will be the biggest factor. Gusts from 11-14 mph will be blowing from left to right field. Winds will also be howling at a 15-18 mph clip from home plate to the left-center field power alley in San Francisco for the Padres-Giants battle.

LEADING OFF: Herrera's HR streak, Kershaw back, Mariners dip
June 23, 2018

A look at what's happening around the majors today:

PHILLY SPECIAL

Odubel Herrera has homered in five straight games, tying a Philadelphia record. Chase Utley (twice in 2008), Bobby Abreu (2005), Mike Schmidt (1979) and Dick Allen (1969) also connected five in row for the Phillies. Ken Griffey, Jr. (1993), Don Mattingly (1987) and Dale Long (1956) share the major league record with homers in eight consecutive games.

Herrera now takes aim against rookie right-hander Erick Fedde (0-2, 5.63 ERA) at Nationals Park.

CITI SURPRISE

Clayton Kershaw is set to make an unexpected return from the disabled list, starting for the Dodgers in a marquee matchup against Mets ace Jacob deGrom. Kershaw has been sidelined since June 1 with a lower back strain. The three-time Cy Young Award winner and 2014 NL MVP originally was scheduled to make a rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Oklahoma City at Omaha, but heavy rain in the forecast caused the Dodgers to change plans. There's rain forecast at Citi Field, too, but LA manager Dave Roberts said the team took that into account and will have rookie lefty Caleb Ferguson (0-1, 7.59 ERA) ready in reserve.

ROUGH ROAD

The Mariners have lost a season-worst five in a row, including an 0-4 start to their East Coast trip. After getting swept at Yankee Stadium this week, they blew a 10-5 lead and dropped the series opener at Fenway Park 14-10. Mike Leake (7-4, 4.47 ERA) starts next for Seattle, having lost last weekend to Boston. Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (9-1, 3.59) has won a career-high six straight starts, including a victory in Seattle last Sunday.

TRY AGAIN

Blue Jays righty Marcus Stroman is set to come off the disabled list and go for his first win of the season. He is 0-5 with a 7.71 ERA in seven starts, and hasn't pitched since May 8 because of shoulder fatigue. He was 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA last year.

THUMPING

Cleveland is 5-0 against the Tigers at Progressive Field this season, outscoring them 28-5. Yonder Alonso hit a grand slam in a 10-0 romp Friday night. Detroit lefty Francisco Liriano (3-2, 3.90 ERA) will come off the disabled list to take on Trevor Bauer (6-5, 2.50 ERA). The Indians have won five in a row overall.

Font, Rays shut down Yanks; DeSclafani slams Reds past Cubs
June 23, 2018

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Wilmer Font worked into the sixth inning to get his first major league win, Willy Adames homered and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 4-0 on Saturday.

Font (1-3) allowed three hits, one walk and struck out four over 5 2/3 innings. Four relievers completed a four-hitter.

Adames had an RBI single during a two-run second and added a solo homer in the seventh off Sonny Gray (5-5).

The Rays have won the first two of a three-game series against the Yankees, who have the best record in the majors.

New York (50-24), coming off a three-game sweep over Seattle, is the only team in the big leagues not to have dropped more than two straight games this year. This is the latest the Yankees have gone into a season without losing three in a row since August 1954.

REDS 11, CUBS 2

CINCINNATI (AP) - Anthony DeSclafani hit the first grand slam by a Cincinnati pitcher in 59 years, helping the last-place Reds beat the Chicago Cubs for their sixth consecutive victory.

It was Cincinnati's third slam in five days and major league-leading seventh of the season, two short of the record set in 2002. The last Reds pitcher to hit a grand slam was Bob Purkey against the Cubs on Aug. 1, 1959. DeSclafani (3-1) also pitched a season-high 6 1/3 innings and allowed three hits, struck out three and walked four.

Tucker Barnhart and Joey Votto also went deep in front of a crowd of 36,818, Cincinnati's largest since opening day. Votto hit a three-run shot off backup catcher Chris Gimenez in the eighth.

Willson Contreras and Ben Zobrist homered for Chicago, which has lost three straight. Luke Farrell (2-3), a former Red and the son of ex-Red Sox manager and current Reds scout John Farrell, was charged with three runs and two hits in his second career start.

MARINERS 7, RED SOX 2

BOSTON (AP) - Mike Leake pitched eight shutout innings, Mitch Haniger drove in three runs and the Seattle Mariners snapped a season-high five-game losing streak with a victory over the Red Sox.

Nelson Cruz had three hits and scored twice a night after hitting two homers and driving in seven runs for Seattle, which went on its skid after beating Boston two straight at home last weekend. Leake (8-4) gave up three singles, struck out five and walked two six days after he allowed five runs and took the loss against the Red Sox at Safeco Field. Edwin Diaz gave up two runs in the ninth.

Eduardo Rodriguez (9-2) gave up five runs, four earned, in four innings, snapping his personal six-game win streak. The Red Sox were 13-1 in his starts this season.

RANGERS 9, TWINS 6

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Adrian Beltre and Robinson Chirinos homered to help Yovani Gallardo win for the first time since last July as the Texas Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins.

Delino DeShields had two hits and drove in two runs for the Rangers, who have won a season-high seven in a row.

Eddie Rosario homered and drove in four runs, while Logan Morrison also homered and Mitch Garver had three hits for the Twins, who have lost three straight.

Gallardo (1-0) entered with a 15.95 ERA and made his second start for Texas after opening the year with Cincinnati. He fell behind 2-0 just five pitches into the game on Rosario's homer before turning it around and pitching into the sixth. Gallardo gave up four earned runs on six hits. Keone Kela gave up a two-run double to Rosario, but struck out Morrison with the bases loaded to end the game, earning his 18th save.

Twins starter Jake Odorizzi (3-5) retired the side in order in the first inning, but the Rangers knocked him out in a six-run second.

DODGERS 8, METS 3

NEW YORK (AP) - Clayton Kershaw and Jacob deGrom stumbled in an unexpected ace showdown, Matt Kemp hit a pinch grand slam during a five-run eighth and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the slumping Mets.

The Dodgers have won 11 straight against the Mets dating to May 2016, matching their best run in the rivalry. Los Angeles beat New York 11 straight times across 1963 and `64.

Kershaw gave up two runs over three innings in a surprise return from the disabled list. He threw 55 pitches, starting out strong before laboring through his final inning. Left-handed rookie Caleb Ferguson (1-1) replaced him and escaped a couple tight situations over four scoreless innings for his first major league win.

DeGrom (5-3) allowed three earned runs in six innings, including Max Muncy's 14th home run in the first. He entered the game with a major league-leading 1.51 ERA and hadn't allowed three earned runs in a game since April 16 against Washington. New York has lost five straight overall and 12 of 13 at home.

ORIOLES 7, BRAVES 5

ATLANTA (AP) - Mark Trumbo hit a first-inning grand slam, Chris Davis doubled in three runs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Braves.

Dylan Bundy (6-7) allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings while improving to 3-0 in June. One day after allowing four runs and recording only one out, Zach Britton pitched around a one-out walk to Johan Camargo in the ninth to earn his first save.

AL East-leading Atlanta dropped its third consecutive game. Julio Teheran (5-5) allowed a season-high seven runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Trumbo's homer was his fourth in his last six games. He has seven homers this season after missing April with a right quad strain.

Nick Markakis, who spent his first nine seasons with Baltimore, drove in three runs for Atlanta, including a two-run double off Donnie Hart in the seventh.

CARDINALS 3, BREWERS 2

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Yadier Molina homered twice to back a strong start by Miles Mikolas and lift the St. Louis Cardinals to a victory.

Molina's two-run homer in the sixth inning off reliever Jeremy Jeffress gave St. Louis the lead and the Cardinals held on behind the pitching of Mikolas and four relievers. Marcell Ozuna led off the sixth with a line-drive single to center and scored on Molina's shot to right-center, a ball that bounced off the top of the wall and into the St. Louis bullpen.

Mikolas (8-2) allowed three hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings while walking two and striking out five. Bud Norris earned his 14th save with a scoreless ninth. Jeffress (5-1) took the loss.

INDIANS 4, TIGERS 1

CLEVELAND (AP) - Trevor Bauer struck out 11 over 6 1/3 innings to beat Detroit for the fourth time this season, leading the Indians past the Tigers for their sixth straight win overall.

Bauer (7-5) allowed a run in the second inning on a wild pitch and was pulled after Dixon Machado's one-out single in the seventh. He's 4-0 with a 1.23 ERA in four starts against the Tigers.

Francisco Lindor hit a leadoff homer in the fifth, and Jose Ramirez - who reached base in his 30th consecutive game - and Edwin Encarnacion had RBI singles in a three-run first.

Cody Allen struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 17 opportunities.

Francisco Liriano (3-3), making his first start in a month, allowed three runs - two earned - in four innings.

ATHLETICS 7, WHITE SOX 6

CHICAGO (AP) - Pinch-hitter Nick Martini drove in the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning with his first major league hit and the Oakland Athletics came back from an early five-run deficit to edge the White Sox.

Martini, recalled from Triple-A before the game, lined a full-count single off Juan Minaya (0-2) with two outs to center to score Stephen Piscotty from second. Piscotty reached on a double when right fielder Avisail Garcia lost his routine fly in the sun.

Piscotty launched a two-run drive and Matt Olson hit a solo shot as the Athletics homered in their 24th consecutive road game, tying a modern day record set by Baltimore in 1996. Lou Trivino (5-1), the A's fourth reliever, pitched 1 2/3 innings and struck out four. Blake Treinen got the last five outs for his 17th save as Oakland hung on for its sixth victory in seven games despite committing two errors in the ninth.

Tim Anderson hit a three-run homer that capped Chicago's five-run first-inning burst. The White Sox have lost nine of 10.

Both starters exited early with injuries. Oakland's Daniel Mengden left with a sprained right foot after two innings, while Chicago's Dylan Covey was pulled due to right hip soreness with no outs in the fifth.

MARLINS 6, ROCKIES 2

DENVER (AP) - J.T. Realmuto hit his second career grand slam during a five-run seventh and the Miami Marlins beat Colorado to stop a three-game skid and end the Rockies' winning streak at four.

Derek Dietrich also homered, and Trevor Richards (2-4) gave up one run and three hits in six innings, striking out eight. Richards also singled for his first hit in the majors.

Rockies starter Tyler Anderson (4-3) was sharp before allowing three consecutive hits to open the seventh, including an RBI single from pinch-hitter Justin Bour that chased the lefty and put the Marlins ahead 2-1. Starlin Castro then loaded the bases after video review reversed an out call and ruled him safe with an infield single. An out later, Realmuto fouled off three pitches against struggling reliever Bryan Shaw before lining a shot over the right-field wall.

Gerardo Parra hit a solo homer in the seventh and drove both runs for the Rockies, who fell back below .500 (38-39).

DIAMONDBACKS 7, PIRATES 2

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Zack Greinke pitched six scoreless innings, staying in through two rain delays, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Pirates for their third consecutive win.

Paul Goldschmidt homered for NL West-leading Arizona, and David Peralta drove in two runs. Goldschmidt also walked twice and scored three times. Greinke (7-5) allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked none. He also doubled and scored on Jon Jay's double in the fourth. The Pirates hit just four balls out of the infield against Greinke.

Arizona grabbed control with five runs in the first four innings against Joe Musgrove (2-3).

PHILLIES 5, NATIONALS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) - Maikel Franco went 4 for 4, Carlos Santana homered and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Nationals.

With the Phillies leading 3-2 in the eighth, Santana sent a drive into the Philadelphia bullpen in left-center field off Kelvin Herrera for his 13th homer of the season and second in two games. Franco later added an RBI single for the Phillies, who have won five of six.

Odubel Herrera, who had homered in five straight games, went 0 for 4.

Anthony Rendon homered for Washington, which has lost three of four.

Aaron Nola (9-2) stiffened after a shaky first inning, giving up two runs on four hits over six. Seranthony Dominguez worked the ninth for his fourth save.

Erick Fedde (0-3) allowed three runs on eight hits in six-plus innings.

GIANTS 5, PADRES 3

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Slumping Brandon Crawford doubled twice, tripled and drove in three runs, leading the Giants over the San Diego Padres.

Brandon Belt singled twice and Gorkys Hernandez added an RBI double as the Giants won their fifth in seven games.

Crawford went into the game mired in an 0-for-18 funk. He walked in the second, hit a triple off Matt Strahm in the fourth and doubled in a pair of runs off Adam Cimber (3-4) in the sixth. Crawford also doubled and scored in the eighth. San Francisco's Gold Glove-winning shortstop also helped turn three of the Giants' four double plays. He made a throwing error in the ninth that allowed a run to score.

Reyes Moronta (3-1) retired three batters for the win.

Hunter Renfroe homered for San Diego, which has dropped six of seven.

ASTROS 4, ROYALS 3, 12 INNINGS

HOUSTON (AP) - Carlos Correa hit a game-ending RBI single in the 12th, lifting the Astros over the Kansas City Royals.

George Springer led off the 12th with a walk, and Alex Bregman followed with a bloop single into shallow right field that fell between three players. An error by Ryan Goins allowed Springer to advance to third. After reigning AL MVP Jose Altuve was walked intentionally, Correa singled into right-center gap against Justin Grimm (1-3).

Collin McHugh (3-0) pitched a perfect inning for the win.

BLUE JAYS 4, ANGELS 1

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Steve Pearce hit a three-run homer in the ninth and the Toronto Blue Jays ended a five-game road losing streak.

Pearce's fourth homer was a line drive down the left-field line off Justin Anderson (1-2), who gave up a two-out single to Aledmys Diaz and walked Devon Travis to bring Pearce to the plate.

Seunghwan Oh (3-2) got the win despite giving up a solo home run to Luis Valbuena that tied it at 1 in the eighth. Ryan Tepera earned his sixth save, striking out Jose Fernandez to end the game.

Marcus Stroman threw five scoreless innings for the Blue Jays, who had lost 10 of their last 11 on the road. Stroman had not started since May 8 because of shoulder fatigue. Teoscar Hernandez gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead on his solo home run in the third.

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

— Dodgers 8, Mets 3— Dodgers have beaten the Mets 11 games in a row.

— Clayton Kershaw lasted 3 innings (55 PT) in his return from the DL.

— A’s 7, White Sox 6— Chicago scored 5 runs in first inning but lost.

— Reds’ 2B prospect Nick Senzel is out for the year with an injured finger.

— Tampa Bay 4, New York 0— Bronx scored one run the last two days.

— Blue Jays 4, Angels 1— Steve Pearce hit a 3-run dinger in 9th inning.


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……

13) Best wishes to former NBA great Nate (Tiny) Archibald, who recently had a heart transplant. Archibald led the NBA in scoring AND assists in 1972-73, while playing for the Kings.

12) Angels have $127M+ tied up in these eight players this year: Trout, Pujols, Upton, Cozart, Kinsler, Simmons, Calhoun, Valbuena.

None of them pitch.

11) Orioles-Braves played 15 innings Friday night; one of interesting things about games like that means that someone is going to the minor leagues after the game, because they’ll need fresh arms to replenish the bullpen.

Atlanta sent OF Preston Tucker down Saturday morning, brought P Lucas Sims up.

10) Does pitching in Denver affect visiting pitchers? Visiting pitchers who pitch at Coors Field, in their next start, their teams are 19-9, over is 16-10-2.

9) Rory McIlroy was on the first tee at Hartford yesterday, and just as he was about to tee off, a squirrel ran through the tee box. McIlroy started over, then hit his tee shot into the trees.

8) Tigers-Royals will play a game in Omaha, NE June 3, 2019, just before the College World Series starts in Omaha- the Royals’ AAA team plays there.

7) Mets are 19-18 with Yoenis Cespedes in the lineup, 12-25 without him. He’s played in half their games this season, which obviously is not good.

6) Celtics drafted Robert Williams from Texas A&M, who had an “immaturity” knock against him in scouting reports. But the Celtics picked him, and then Williams overslept the conference call with the Boston media the next morning. No bueno.

5) Villanova had four players taken in the NBA Draft, and the guy who was National Player of the Year in college last year was the only one of the four taken in the second round.

4) Shin-Soo Choo of the Texas Rangers has reached base in 36 consecutive games, longest active streak in the major leagues.

3) Phillies’ 1B Carlos Santana is 2-17 in his career against Washington reliever Kelvin Herrera, but both of the hits were home runs, including one on Saturday.

2) Kid named Randy Cesar has a 40-game hitting streak going for the Corpus Christi Hooks, AA affiliate of the Astros. Granted it is in the hitter-friendly Texas League, but that is still a damn good hitting streak.

1) One of my favorite baseball movies, Bull Durham, opened in theaters 30 years ago this week. Time flies.
