Friday's game featuring Tampa Bay travelling to Boston was suspended at 1-1 through eight and a half innings. The game is scheduled to resume Saturday before their regularly scheduled game, but as it was suspended and not postponed the official date and time of the game remains the same. Due to the game not being postponed and because the game is still scheduled to be completed within the same series, all picks from the game are still locked in. If the game is formally postponed tomorrow, any participant who had their 4/16 pick come from that game will be able to change their pick to count for Friday from any game played on the 19th or earlier. Currently, those who picked Tampa or Boston for 4/16 don't have any score factored in for that day.
Of the games that actually finished yesterday, only the Angels won (over the Blue Jays) on the road. Despite that feat, AL teams are actually worse at home so far this season than they are on the road (35 home wins to 38 road wins). NL teams have performed more along the lines of what may be expected as home teams in the DH-free league are 46-35.
In player-related news, Jorge Cantú's record ten game RBI & hit streak to open the season came to an end on Friday. Cantú looked to have run out of chances when he produced the final out in the top of the eighth against Roy Halladay and the Phillies on Friday, but the Marlins scrambled to score four runs and have a shot at overcoming a six-run deficit in the ninth. Runners were on first and second when Cantú came up as the go-ahead run and with a chance to extend the streak, but a grounder to second ended his hopes and the comeback.
While that comeback fell short, the Padres managed a successful comeback Friday. Down 3-0, San Diego managed a run in the seventh and eighth before capping things off in the home half of the ninth. With normal D-Backs closer, Chad Qulls on the bench for rest and poor performance, Juan Gutiérrez positioned himself nicely to remain in the set-up role for Arizona. He kicked things off with a walk with a sacrifice following to move the runner into scoring position with one out. Everth Cabrera struck out to raise the tension, but David Eckstein came through with a game-tying double. Gutiérrez then decided to avoid Adrian Gonzalez by intentionally walking him, but Chase Headley made him pay with a home run as the next batter for a 6-3 win. |
