Among the last words I heard early this morning as I tried to go back to sleep, "Jean Jean, the hitting machine!" That was approximately 1:50 central daylight as the Mariners were able to score two runs in the bottom of the 13th to best Boston. The first run—the tying run—scored on a Doug Fister wild pitch. Segura's walk-off infield single brought in the winner.
No word yet on the HotCut as of 9:38 central daylight.
At 9:53, the 'Cut has landed: NolaCut.

Later. We are bridging, Bronx style. Reds at Yanks. Through six-and-a-half innings it's 4-2 Yanks and it's the only game in town. Two games start in thirty-nine minutes. That means this game needs to move pretty slowly the rest of the way, especially with the home team leading. The Reds need to make something happen.
Or, the Yankees would have to churn some clock by sending many men to the plate. They have scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh. At 14:26 central daylight the Yankees lead 9-2. The seventh inning is now over but a Wednesday afternoon bridge looks to be in place.
A little later. The bridge is in place. The Yankees bat in the bottom of the eighth leading 9-5 (Adam Duvall hit a three-run shot). Three other games are now underway. I'm going back to Seattle.

The July 26 trio of 14:40 starts are in various states of completion and competitiveness. The Red Sox are 4-0 over the Mariners, top 7. That's Chris Sale, slinging it. He has nine strikeouts in six innings versus three hits and one walk. The Diamondbacks lead the Braves 7-2, top 5. I have not listened to any of that game so I'm not going to tell you about any of it. It's a pitchers' duel on The Bay, where Samardzija for San Fran and Trevor Williams and his Rag Tag Band for Pittsburgh are tied 1-1, bottom six. Shark is through six, seven whiffs, two walks, three hits.
Bob Walk on the Pirates broadcast—eh. "All my textbooks growing up were comic books." Williams gets them 1-2-3 on nine pitches to close out the sixth.
