Bellinger didn't get an RBI for that. Runner was out by a mile at home and Grandal dropped the throw.

Looked like a terrible strike call on Reynolds with the ball well above the pitch trak box. I'm all for robo ball/strike calls but the box displayed on the screen never moves.

Don Mattingly and Kirby Puckett played their entire careers during Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games played streak. Wow! When you think of it like that it's even more amazing. That was a great moment when he broke record. Lost in Ripken's consecutive game streak is the fact that he also had a stre...
