GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Kraken @ Runners
Brooklyn has cracked the Chicago code.  A combined four hit shutout and a relentless 15 hit attack lead the Kraken to a 9-0 whitewash of Chicago.  Brooklyn's EIGHTH STRAIGHT WIN moves them into sole possession of first place in the KML with a league best 16-4 record.

Argos @ Koi
Arizona rookie hurler Bobby Miller pitches the best game of the young season; a 92 pitch Maddux.  Miller gives up a single to open the game to Spencer Steer, but Steer is thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double and that is all the Argos can muster for the rest of the game.  Miller's complete game, 1-hit, 11 strikeout brilliance is needed as Arizona manages only two hits themselves and doesn't plate the sole run of the game until two outs into the eighth.

Thunder @ Miners
All the aces in the Tucson clubhouse . . . Wheeler, Strider, Kershaw, Kelly . . . and the Thunder's best starter so far is rookie Javier Assad.  The young righty completes six shutout innings to win his third game of the season and lower his ERA to 2.92.

Bums @ Yetis
In similar fashion from the offensive side, Bako's lineup boasts Pete Alonso, Adolis Garcia, Bobby Witt Jr., Triston Casas, and former MVP Andrew McCutchen, and the Bums best hitter is . . . rookie backstop Shea Langeliers.  Langeliers collects another two hits to raise his average to .413, hits his 6th home run and drives in another five runs to pace Bako's 7-3 victory.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Brooklyn @ Chicago
The top two teams in the KML start a set in Chicago.  A two run home run by Bryan Reynolds in the fifth and a five hit shutout by Brooklyn pitching leads the Kraken to the opening game 2-0 victory and tie two teams atop the conference.

Ankeny @ Roxbury
Juan Soto clubs two homers and Mookie Betts, Luke Raley, and Kiebert Ruiz each pitch in with a homer of their own and the ACL's pound Roxbury for the 15-7 game one win.

Mother Lode @ Arizona
Chris Bassitt pitches a seven hit, complete game shutout and Rafael Devers and Sean Murphy homer and drive in three runs apiece to lead the Argos to the 6-0 win.

Scurvy @ Great
A shootout in Great!  Bob, Rod . . . either of you want to pitch in with a synopsis of the wild ride?

Motor City @ Windy City
The City's hook up for their first series of the year, and delight the fans with a shootout of their own.  The Madmen stake the home team Rattlers to a sizeable lead entering the middle innings.  Then . . . Cody Bellinger arrives!  A grand slam in the sixth brings Motor City all the way back from their five run deficit and two innings later the lefty swinging first baseman rips a three run job to put the game away.

Ann Arbor @ Santa Ana
Another offensive shootout in Santa Ana.  The Wolves run out to a 7-0 lead after two.  Brayan Bello tries to give it all back, surrendering a six spot to the Landlubbers in the fourth.  But that's all he gives up and Santa Ana tacks on another seven runs to coast to the 14-6 win.  Nolan Jones and Mike Trout of the Wolves: one of them is hitting .396 with 7 homers and 15 RBI; the other is hitting .164, just hit is first homer and has just 8 RBI.  Who is hot and who is cold?  Take a look...

Bako @ Everest
The desert vs. 29,032 feet.  With a stop at Cabella's for parkas, mittens and snow boots, the Bums hike to the summit.  Marcus Stroman is seemingly unaffected, pitching six shutout innings to lower his ERA to 0.35.  Adolis Garcia goes 4-5 with two homers, four runs, and four RBI and the desert prevails in game one.

Good to see the games back running.   Glad everyone was OK.   For a while I thought we had a health scare.   Speaking of health scares my top FA signing just got his forearm broken in the Cardinal game today.   Willson Contreras.   How long does it take a broken arm to heal?         

Dabnabit    Waited a week for the rubber game of the series against the Argonauts    Lost 2-5.    Still early to scoreboard watch but my Auk has the Dogs and Bums at home for the next six games.   If the Auk is to start spreading its wings in the division these two series will be time to do so.    The Dogs are leading the pack in the division tied with the Bums.
