We don’t know enough about the St. Louis hacking scandal. But we do know that people don’t care about cheating in baseball.
They care about being caught and doing something against the law!

Brock Holt became the first Red Sox player since 1996 to hit for the cycle, doubling, smacking a single, homering to the opposite field and finally tripling into the triangle, scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the 9-4 victory over Atlanta.
Chi Chi Gonzalez pitched a shutout into the 9th inning before surrendering a game tying homer after 8 1/3 innings. His excellent outing would go as a no decision but the Rangers walked off against the Dodgers, 3-2.
Clint Robinson put Washington on the board with a homer and kept getting on. He would finish with 4 hits and a walk, adding a double and three runs scored in the 16-4 thrashing of Tampa Bay.
Matt Harvey threw 7 shutout innings, walking none and allowing 4 hits, getting the first place Mets another dramatic win against Toronto, 3-2.

The Most Recent Cycle Hit For Each Team (Updated for Brock Holt – June 16, 2015)
(AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
The First Cycle Hit for 2015!
With all the great hitters in baseball, naturally it is BROCK HOLT of the Red Sox who gets a single, double, triple and homer. Granted, I am not thrilled that he wears Wade Boggs’ number 26, but this is a day to celebrate.
Good bye John Valentin, no longer on this list.
I have compiled a list of the most current no hitter for each franchise, but here is the companion list for the cycle. Is it harder to hit for the cycle? Probably. But Holt did it!
Here is the list, updated for today’s action!

2015 Trip schedule.
Changing Of The Schedule.
If you click the link above saying 2015 trip schedule, it looks vastly different from it did a few days ago.
First off, I have an opportunity in Tampa Bay to do something special for the long-term benefit of my career if I come back at the end of the year. I am not allowed to get into specifics right now. It simply has altered my schedule to include the final 6 games on the docket to include a 3 game set in Atlanta at the end of September, and the last 3 games will be at Tropicana Field.
Other changes I have made include taking off a game on the July 4th night in Atlanta. I have thought about this day long and hard, and decided I would rather spend the night hanging out in the nation’s capital for the fireworks show with my brother’s family, rather than try to complete a 6 game – 3 day effort.
To help out in another aspect to accommodate this, I am also adding a Cincinnati/St. Louis doubleheader on Wed July 1st, 2015, and have added another game on Thursday July.2 in St. Louis.
I was lucky enough to have been interviewed by the Marlins today during the pregame radio broadcast, and also met longtime Marlins + Montreal Expos broadcaster Dave Van Horn. After a chat about the top 5 parks, I listed Busch Stadium as my #5 favorite. I was devastated to have completed the only 2 games there earlier this year.
In looking at my Thursday July.02 original doubleheader. It listed the Mets/Phillies at 1;10/6:35. Originally I was going to use Amtrak, eventually I switched the method to Philly for a Megabus.com trip. But all have flaws in them, and are way too dependent on things to go right to count as a 2 games in one day maneuver.
The problem is also driving all night to Chicago for a Cubs/White Sox doubleheader after, keep finances in check, and then turnaround and drive 800 miles back to Washington for an 11 AM game on Saturday July 4th game.
If this were three years ago, no doubt I could do this trip. Heck, I could still probably pull it off now. However, the previous schedule has 3 different travel plans that I can cancel for just a few dollars, and save during the long run with time.
Also I was looking to help my buddy Scott finish up Yankee Stadium (which he will now do on Sunday July.19/2015 with me, He and I are also going to attend the AAA All Star Game in Omaha Nebraska, before heading to US Cellular and MIller Park for a couple of doubleheaders.
In all, the end result is only a loss of one game listed, to now make it a 216 game trek.

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for June 9, 2015 )
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports
The first No Hitter of 2015!
Lots of Giants greats have thrown no hitters, from Christy Matthewson to Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. Now add Chris Heston to the list. Just think. In 2013, the Giants designated him for assignment and anyone could have picked him up.
I bet the Giants are glad nobody did.
With a 5-0 masterpiece, Chris Heston has his own piece of history and removes his teammate Lincecum from this list.
I am sure Tim is fine with it.
