I spent most of the day taking care of my lawn. This usually gets done in late March or early April, but the temperatures have been so cold it made no sense to put down fertilizer yet. The trees are just blooming now, and with rain overnight, it was the perfect time to aerate the lawn, and other fun stuff.
Of course, Yard Work was Karl Ravech’s catch phrase for home runs in highlights back in my days on baseball tonight. Sitting down to review today’s games, I noticed the home runs in one were hit by W. Ramos and D. Span, and thought for a moment that it was a Nationals game. The former Washington teammates are now hitting for the Rays, who are up on Boston 9-5 in the top of the ninth. Carlos Gomez also homered for the Rays, while the Red Sox hit one.
The Nationals continue to fall on hard times as they once again lose to the Diamondbacks by one run. They loaded the bases with two out in the bottom of the tenth, but Michael Taylor grounded into a force to end the game. Nick Ahmed score the go-ahead run in the top of the tenth on a bases loaded walk. The Nats are now five games under .500 as the injuries to key stars have sapped their offense. The teams hit a total of four home runs, David Peralta going deep twice. He’s one of three players to hit two home runs in a game so far today.
So far, there are 18 home runs in the six completed games. With two double headers, we might see a lot more by the end of Saturday.
