Melvin!

I'm stuck in a meeting; gamecast says Pujols reached on an infield single to shortstop. Did that actually happen? Did it ricochet off the pitcher... and the third baseman?

Chapman picked a short hop and bobbled the ball on the transfer. It should have been an error but for the official scorer...

At work so I checked out the box score on the MLB app and Trout got a hit? Wow, something new!

I think I heard Victor say Pujols has 7 infield hits this season.  I was shocked.

I definitely remember him getting some - including a dribbler that took 30 seconds to reach third in his first game back at St. Louis - but do not remember any to shortstop.

We got early highlights. What happens next? Well ... 

What usually happens to our early leads?

The pitcher goes 8 innings and the closer locks it down?

Keep that MVP,  Trout.

This looks like it's gonna be an 11-9 game.

I have those glasses too. The rose-color prescription makes it much less painful.

Interesting pitch to juice ticket sales for Oakland's "One-and-a-quarter Header" on Friday. 

They are making up the final innings of a suspended game from early in the season against Detroit.

Melvin getting it done today! 3 RBI's so far!

[Dick Enberg]

and then Melvin gets picked off...

Justin is getting RBIs today. 

Melvin got picked off first to end the inning. 

[Dick Enberg]

and Kole getting all pissy since there was a runner at third that he wanted to drive in, thinking Eppler then would pick up his option...

[eligrba4ever]

Terry says the Oakland folks only recall Nelson Cruz and Yoenis Cespedes depositing home runs where Trout's landed.
