Settling the Scores: Friday’s results

15 Comments

Look, I may have been on the clock on Friday night, and I may be posting this Saturday morning, but if you think I’m gonna do a full-blown Saturday “And That Happened,” well, you just don’t know my kids very well.

They’re eating Lucky Charms and watching the Cartoon Network and I’m sure they plan on absolutely killing me today with six and eight year-old stuff today, so you’re lucky I can even find the darn scoreboard right now.

But I do know that Henderson Alvarez pitched a Maddux last night and Albert Pujols went 0 for 4. Some things you don’t need to be coherent to know.

Indians 6, Rangers 3

Marlins 9, Padres 8

Brewers 6, Giants 4

Blue Jays 4, Angels 0

Twins 3, Mariners 2

Braves 9, Rockies 8

Orioles 6, Red Sox 4

Nationals 4, Phillies 3

Astros 5, Cardinals 4

Diamondbacks 5, Mets 4

Cubs 5, Dodgers 4

Tigers 5, White Sox 4

Reds 6, Pirates 1

Rays 7, A’s 2

Yankees 6, Royals 2

SARASOTA, Fla. – The Baltimore Orioles have optioned left-handers Bruce Zimmermann and Nick Vespi and reassigned infielder Lewin Díaz, left-hander Darwinzon Hernandez and catcher Mark Kolozsvary to minor league camp.

The Orioles announced the moves Monday.

Baltimore’s spring training roster now has 46 players.

Zimmermann made 13 starts last season. He went 2-5 with a 5.99 ERA.

The competition for rotation spots with the Orioles has been a significant story during spring training, but after the team acquired Cole Irvin and Kyle Gibson in the offseason – and with top prospect Grayson Rodriguez in the mix as well – there were a lot of pitchers Zimmermann needed to beat out.
