Masahiro Tanaka: first NYY pitcher to throw CG of 9 innings at Rogers Centre since Andy Pettitte on April 22, 1998
 
Cespedes just had another one of those misplayed doubles that he turned into an outfield assist. Gunned the runner down advancing to 3rd by a few steps. There would have to be a lot of great plays tonight for that to not be in the SCTop10

The Rockies starter just set the Rockies record (4) for most wild pitches in a game. Did it before the end of the 3rd inning. 3 was the previous record. He threw 3 wild pitches in the 2nd inning alone, in a span of 10 pitches.

In a place as unforgiving to pitchers as Denver, that's just rough. Mets had runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs to start that 2nd inning. The following 2 pitches advanced and scored both of them.

Dang, Ken Griffey looks really different these days. Not sure I would have recognized him had he passed by me.

Chicago is the first team to face the reigning World Series MVP (Madison Bumgarner) and league MVP (Clayton Kershaw) in back-to-back games since 1969. (via Elias)
 
ELIAS: TOR is 12-5 against the Yankees this season, the Jays' most wins against the Yankees in a season in franchise history.
 
Aaron Altherr hit an inside-the-park grand slam in the third, then topped it off with solo shot in the fifth as the Phillies lead the Nats 6-2. According to Elias, the last player to hit both in one game was Bob Brower on June 21, 1987.
 
Story is the first player since 1900 to open his career with home runs in his first three games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

CC Sabathia: 100th win with Yankees

He joins Lefty Grove & Mike Mussina as only pitchers to win 100 games with 2 AL teams (@EliasSports)
 
The Braves are 2-18 at home. If they lose today they'll have as many home losses by 5/25 as the '98 Yankees had all season (19)!
 
Royals beat White Sox after trailing 7-1 in bottom of the 9th. Since 2010, teams were 4-2,810 in such situations.
