Yesterday's Angels-Giants game was the first game in major league history in which the National League team used a DH and the American League team did not. Shohei Ohtani started the game on the mound for the Angels and was batting #2. The Giants won 9-3 in 13 innings.
Giants - 000 010 000 001 7 - 9 11 0
Angels - 000 010 000 001 1 - 3 8 0
The Giants had not scored 7+ runs in the 13th inning or later since July 16, 1920. (Time of game: 2:54.)
Giants - 000 000 000 000 000 07 - 7 16 1
Pirates - 000 000 000 000 000 00 - 0 9 4
The last time any team scored 7+ runs in the 13th inning or later was the Red Sox, who scored seven runs in the top of the 15th in Tampa Bay and beat the Rays 13-6 on September 15, 2017. (The Rays used 12 pitchers!)
Red Sox - 100 100 003 000 017 - 13 21 1
Rays - 100 201 010 000 010 - 6 13 3
Since the start of Manfred's Asinine Extra-Inning Runner Rule, there have been four games that have lasted 13 innings (two in 2020, two this year). No games have gone 14 or more innings.
In Wednesday's game, the Angels ended up having seven pitchers in the #2 spot in the batting order. The only other major league game in which that happened was on September 17, 2005, after a double-switch. That game:
Nationals - 011 011 100 000 – 5 12 0
Padres – 000 000 005 003 – 8 11 0
B9 rally started with two outs and a runner on first. Then: single, single, walk, grand slam.
B12 rally also started with two outs and a runner on first. Then: single, three-run homer.
The Phillies lost at home to the Nationals yesterday 13-12.
Nationals - 000 056 002 - 13 12 1
Phillies - 031 140 120 - 12 15 0
It's the first home game the Phillies have scored at least 12 runs and lost in 52 years (August 3, 1969).
Reds - 113 1(10)2 010 - 19 25 1
Phillies - 315 0 0 7 100 - 17 21 2
In 1929-30, the Phillies scored 12+ runs at home and lost a total of nine times!
Last night, Wander Franco of the Rays became the second player in history to hit a game-tying 3-run homer in his MLB debut. The first to do that was Kosuke Fukudome of the Cubs, who hit a game-tying three-run dong in the bottom of the 9th on Opening Day in 2008.
Brewers - 000 000 003 1 - 4 7 0
Cubs - 000 000 003 0 - 3 5 0
In consecutive games, MFY relievers Jonathan Loaisiga (June 22) and Aroldis Chapman (June 23) allowed five baserunners, two runs, and blew a save. The only other time the Yankees had that happen in back-to-back games was on September 28 & 30, 1980, both times by noted asshole and Trump-lover Rich Gossage. . . . Man, wouldn't you love to be sitting next to that guy on a cross-country flight?
