Armadillo: Monday's Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday

13) Six American League games Sunday; the winning run in all six games scored from the 7th inning on. Interesting day of baseball, for sure.

12) Rangers 3, Astros 2 (10)— Adolis Garcia should’ve been walked with a man on third and one out, but they pitched to him and Garcia singled up the middle to end the game. Astros got only three hits in seven innings against Mike Foltynewicz.

11) Royals 3, Tigers 2— Carlos Santana hit a walkoff homer for Kansas City.

10) Saturday night Scott Kazmir threw four innings for the Giants, his first MLB appearance since September, 23, 2016. Lot of work had to go into those five years, getting back to being MLB-ready.

Tough weekend for the Giants, though, who fell from first place to third place.

9) There is a Toronto Raptors’ super fan who apparently got inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame recently; he was also a big time car salesman who sold 129 cars in his first 90 days on the job, which is still a record in Canada. He didn’t miss a Raptors’ home game for 25 years.

8) My Mt Rushmore of Oakland A’s managers:
— Dick Williams— Only three years, but two World Series titles.
— Bob Melvin— Current manager keeps the A’s in contention with a steady hand.
— Tony LaRussa— Won three straight AL titles, and the ’89 World Series
— Art Howe— Got a raw deal in the movie Moneyball; he did a great job in Oakland, winning 102-103 games his last two seasons there.

7) The website for our fantasy baseball league is 2-3 seconds ahead of the picture on my TV; DirecTV must be slow. I see results go up on the website before the pitcher even starts to throw the pitch, its a little unusual.

6) Twins 8, Indians 5— Minnesota wins its first extra inning game in nine tries.

5) 76ers 125, Wizards 118:
— Tobias Harris scored 37 points, 28 in first half.
— Ben Simmons had 15 rebounds, 15 assists, but was 0-6 on foul line.
— 0-6 on foul line was bad news if you took the Sixers (-8)

4) Suns 99, Lakers 90:
— DeAndre Ayton scored 21 points, had 16 boards, was 10-11 from floor.
— Anthony Davis was 5-16 from floor, minus-18 for game.
— Lakers were 7-26 on arc, 17-28 on line; not good.

3) Hawks 107, Knicks 105:
— Trae Young made a runner in the lane with 0:00.9 left for the win.
— Hawks were +17 with Bogdanovic in game; no one else was better than +9
— Julius Randle was only 6-23 from the floor.

2) Grizzlies 112, Jazz 109:
— Dillon Brooks scored 31 points for the winners.
— Big week for Memphis, beating Pelicans, Warriors, then this game.
— Bogdanovic was scoreless in first half, scored 29 in second half.

Only five times has a #8-seed upset the #1-seed in an NBA playoff series.

1) The other night in Houston, A’s SS Elvis Andrus batted against Astros’ closer Ryan Pressly, the seldom seen matchup:

Elvis vs Pressly.

Thank you, thank you very much.
