Friday saw six games decided by one run, three games decided by two runs, and a three-run game decided in extra innings. Two of the games were 1-0 affairs. First, David Price pitched seven shutout innings at his old home field as Boston beat Tampa Bay. Price walked none and struck out five, and his return to form is a huge positive for the Red Sox.
For the second day in a row, the Giants beat the Dodgers 1-0 on a Joe Panik solo home run. Johnny Cueto and Alex Wood combined for 15 shutout innings, but Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen took the loss as Panik took a 0-1 pitch out of the park. That’s what the Dodgers get for using Jansen in a non-save situation!
It took 17 innings, but the Marlins beat the Cubs 2-1 for Miami’s first win of the season. Kris Bryant and Ben Zobrist collected three hits each, but the rest of the Cubs collected just two. Three singles with two out in the bottom of the 17th win the game, Miguel Rojas getting the walk-off hit. The Miami bullpen pitched 11 1/3 shutout innings.
The Brewers and Padres wound up close due to the Brewers scoring five runs in the top of the ninth inning, the last three on a Ryan Braun home run to beat the Padres 8-6. Braun drove in five in the game, two with outs.
There’s been a lot of edge of your seat baseball the first two days of the season.
