Yesterday was an big day for Hillary supporters, and they may have been so swept up in the excitement of the primary that they missed all the baseball action. So I thought I might just run down some of the scores for their benefit.
We'll start with the Cardinals/Brewers game which went 12 innings. St. Louis won that game pretty clearly, with 16 hits versus Milwaukee's 15. Also the Cards gave up 8 walks and the Brewers only 6.
The Yankees played a good game in Chicago, but the White Sox came out on top with 13 hits to New York's 11. Despite Bobby Abreu's grand slam, the Yankees could only score in the first couple of innings, and also the 7th and 8th innings, whereas the White Sox scored in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 9th innings, demonstrating their ability to score throughout the game.
Baltimore beat Seattle handily at 8 hits to 5, and did it with only two pitchers. The Mariners needed three.
Atlanta demonstrated their superiority over Washington when Smoltz recorded his 3,000th strikeout. You can't lose with that kind of experience on the mound.
The Angels squeaked out a win against the Red Sox by performing a totally error-free game. Red Sox catcher Kevin Cash committed a throwing error in the 2nd inning.
Colorado beat the Phillies 12 hits to 11, and Florida trounced Pittsburgh 10 hits to 6.
It appears the Cubs beat the Mets 8 to 1, but they did it in their home stadium, which was a pretty unfair advantage. Some of the Mets players also noted that had they been playing Cricket, they probably would have won.
