MLB:

Seattle lost a lead and went down in Tampa yesterday, 6 - 5. Cal Raleigh blasted his 51st home run in the defeat. The 14th in the last 16 road games. They have just a game and a half lead over the Rangers in the Wild Card and three games behind Houston for the AL West lead. The Mariners try to avoid the sweep against the Rays today starting at 4:35.

 

The Giants beat Colorado yesterday 7 - 4. The benches cleared and three players were ejected after a Rafael Devers home run seriously escalated from jawing to pushing and shoving before Devers even got to first base on the homer… in the first inning. That does not happen very often. The Giants go for the sweep of the Rockies in Denver today at 5:40.

 

CFB:
