Francona tries to get a third inning out of AA call-up Shawn Morimando, but it backfires when Russell Martin singles with two out and Troy Tulowitzki homers on a 3-1 pitch to give Toronto a 5-3 lead. Indians get one back in the top of the sixth, but leave the bases loaded for the final 2 outs
Regain the lead at 6-6?
MLBN had this game as to be televised now but they're showing the Twins blowing out the Rangers instead.
What happened there? Except for a couple of pitchers in one game, the relievers they put up against the Sox stymied them. Is their closer hurt?
Edit: Trying to answer my own question, both Ramos and Jackson pitched much better against the Sox than today, giving up 1 and 0 to the Sox and 7 and 6 to the Rangers. Jackson pitched a bit longer today, Ramos about the same.Only Tolleson pitched well, about the same to both teams.

It's the number of appearances they've had through the season; starting to wear them down. With the traditional Texas heat ahead of them, the Rangers are going to need to beef up an injured rotation
The Rangers come to Fenway having lost series to the Yankees and the Twins after beating the Sox. Did their epic defeats of the Sox exhaust them?
Another pitcher having a bad day: Matt Harvey gave up eleven hits, six runs to the Marlins in 3.2 (five earned).
I thought this Urias kid on the Dodgers was supposed to be some skinny wisp of a lefty or something. He isn't, not for a 19 year old.
Oh, and Adrian Gonzalez now has this line for 2016: .278/.352/.385. His power is gone. What a fantastic trade that was for the Sox. Even if they had to give up Punto.

He's also, like Pedroia, grounding into double plays in nearly a quarter of his opportunities this year. If they were doing that together we'd be tearing our hair out.
Here's an attempt

1927 Yankees v Baltimore
1937 pirates v Cincinnati
1945 cubs v Cincinnati
Each team above went 21-1. I found no teams going undefeated in at least 15 games.
Edit: 1993 braves went 13-0 vs the expansion Rockies.
I thought previous ones that were the normal hat with the red, white and blue in the logo were pretty slick. That may just be me.
Reds first pitching coach Mark Riggins.
He was replaced by assistant pitching coach Mack Jenkins and former major league pitcher Ted Power moves up from pitching coach at Class AAA Louisville to the assistantship with the Reds.
Olney linked this comment from cincinnatiredsblog, which suggest the new coach should be Powers:
“Pitchers do well at Louisville and then they come up here and they tinker with them, change things, make them do different things,” he said. “Then they fail up here and are sent back to Louisville. Power fixes them and they do well at Triple-A and come back up here and they tinker with them again and they struggle again.”

MLBN just switched to the Rockies-Giants game, and the first shot is Brett Farvre wearing a Giants cap.
WTF
Edit to add: I thought Bochy was one of the best in game managers. Why send Cueto out for the 9th at 100+ pitches and a 4 run lead?
Edit: 4 run lead not game lead.

Scott Boras is whining about Zach Davies getting sent down for a bench bat when he's not even going to be pitching for the next 10 days. Normally, when Boras does his chirping in the press it's not hard to see his angle, but this seems fairly petty. 10 service days/$24k in salary. Why is he making waves here? Adding a bench guy to a team that's been stretched thin isn't a "valued ethic"?

Dylan Bundy pitched 2 1/3 innings for the Orioles in their 14 inning win last night. He gave up 3 hits and walked 2, but all 7 outs came by way of the K.
And Buck Doubleday didn't use his closer in extras on the road til the O's went ahead.
