Erasmo Ramirez pitched 7 strong innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 runs and earned the 4-2 decision for Tampa Bay in Boston.

Stephen Piscotty homered and had a pair of RBI singles, driving in 4 in all, helping the Cardinals erase an early hole and beat Milwaukee 7-3.

Steven Matz struck out 8 and walked none in 5 2/3 innings. He did not get the decision but the Mets won a wild 6-4 game in Cincinnati.

David Ortiz went 2 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBI in the Red Sox 4-2 defeat by Tampa Bay.

Chris Sale struck out 8 and walked 1 over 7 innings. But a 3 run homer doomed his chances as the White Sox fell to the Yankees, 3-2.

Brandon Crawford reached base 3 times including clubbing his 20th homer of the season, but the Giants bullpen blew the lead again and San Diego walked off 5-4 winners.

Alec Asher threw 7 terrific innings, allowing 3 hits, 1 run and 1 walk. He would be a hard luck loser as the Phillies were shutout by Miami, 1-0.

Yogi Berra died last night. And unlike most celebrity deaths, the loss of this man affected me.

You will read a lot of funny accounts of his “Yogi-isms” over the next few days. But never forget, there is wisdom in every single Yogi-Ism.

But also remember his legacy in New York baseball. From the 1947 World Series to the 1986 NLCS, Yogi Berra was in uniform for every single great post season moment except 2.

From the Al Giofriddo catch to the Don Larsen perfect Game to the Mazeroski homer to the Miracle Mets winning the World Series to the Chambliss homer to Reggie’s 3 shots in 1977 to Bucky Dent to the 16 inning Mets/Astros marathon, Yogi was there.
It ain’t over until it is over on Episode 1,065 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Well, this was a strange weekend for Mets fans. It started so well with the Friday victory against the Yankees. But it ended with such a sour note and the drubbing by the Yankees with the specter of Matt Harvey’s innings limit looming over the club.

The CAUSE:  To Raise Money for Concussion Awareness (via Sports Legacy Institute. donate money here) Through Inspiring Others.

It was a week in which I had many scares for weather causing me to miss a game I had on the schedule.

Lets go to the Thursday Sept 10th in Philly, that did become a postponed affair. Luckily for yours truly – they rescheduled the game for the next night at Citizens Bank Park.  It did cause me to take a game off the list in Baltimore at Camden, but was a no-brainer considering CBP is the closest park to home base in Sicklerville, N.J.

I then drove to Baltimore on Saturday. This was met with a 3 hour and 2 minute rain delay, even though it never started really raining until 90 minutes into this stoppage.  It is one of my pet peeves about the MLB right now.  Preemptive delays are bogus…and happening at an alarming rate.  I can even understand if the month weren’t September.  But really, with 40 man rosters, and ample pitchers, you delay the start of the game because you think it is going to start pouring.  Play the damn game until the rain persists fellas.

Corey Seager reached base 5 times, with a homer, 3 runs scored and 3 RBI to help the Dodgers win in Arizona, 9-5.

Hector Santiago threw 7 strong innings, allowing 2 runs and 5 hits. He would not get the decision but the Angels went on to beat the White Sox, 3-2.

Jose Bautista hit a pair of homers in the opening game of the double header. He would combine to get on base 7 times over the two games, scoring 4 runs and driving in 5 as Toronto took both games from the Yankees, 9-5 and 10-7.

John Lackey began the suspended game on Friday that was finished today. His 7 innings allowing just 2 runs would normally be enough to win. But the Cardinals bullpen faltered when the game was resumed and the Reds won 4-2.

Greg Garcia collected a pair of hits including a homer in the Cardinals 4-2 loss to the Reds.

Brett Gardner hit a combined 3 homers in the double header between the Yankees and Blue Jays. He reached base 5 times altogether, driving in a combined 7 runs. The Yankees dropped both games, 9-5 and 10-7.

Colby Lewis was perfect for 7 innings before finishing with a complete game 2 hit shutout of the A’s as the Rangers took the 4-0 final.

Jake Arrieta once again was brilliant with 8 innings, 6 hits and 1 run, earning the 5-1 decision for the Cubs over Philadelphia.

Russell Martin singled and homered twice, driving in 4 runs in the Blue Jays 11-5 win over the Yankees.

Nick Ahmed went 4 for 4 with a homer and 3 RBI to help Arizona clobber the Dodgers, 12-4.

Dallas Keuchel did not allow an earned run over six innings and struck out 7 batters along the way. 3 unearned runs in the second were his downfall as he and the Astros fell to the Angels, 3-2.

Lorenzo Cain reached base 4 times, including 2 homers, and scored 4 runs. He could not stop a pair of grand slams in the 8th, however, as Baltimore came back to stun Kansas City 14-8.

Justin Upton went 2 for 3 with a homer in the Padres 9-1 loss to San Francisco.
