The Giants fell to the Mets yesterday, losing 8 to 2.  San Francisco wins the series but sits at 12 and 14 in the NL West 2 and a half games out of first. The Pittsburgh Pirates are up next. That series starts tomorrow.

The Mariners lost 5 to 1 to Texas yesterday. That means Seattle falls a half game behind the Rangers for the AL West lead.  If there’s an important game in late April, this is it. The Rubber match is coming up this morning. First pitch is at 11:35.
