- Corey Kluber was placed on DL with a finger sprain on Tuesday and Matt Langwell was recalled. On the radio, Hammy said that Kluber's likely facing a 4-6 week recovery.
- The Astros had a 5-0 lead hosting Boston. But that wasn't enough for some character named Jordan Lyles. Boston ended up winning 15-10.
- Baltimore beat San Diego 4-1 behind the pitching of Bud Norris. (sigh)
- Tampa Bay, however, lost to Arizona! 6 to 1.

If Tribe stays true to win % vs +/- .500 teams rest of way, project to win 90 games. 5th-best AL team (2nd WC) avg 90.3 wins past 10 years.

At this point Farrell has to more Napoli out of the five hole. or more Ortiz up to 3rd and have Pedroia bat clean-up.. unique idea.
