Day 432

  • Mike Trout is out through about the All-Star break with a calf strain.
  • Boston is the 7 seed in the East for the NBA playoffs.  Charlotte is eliminated with the 9-10 loss to Indiana.  Washington and Indiana will play for the 8 seed.
  • The main event of the play-in -- a 7-8 between the Lakers and Warriors -- is tomorrow.
  • Stanford has reconsidered eliminating 11 sports in light of new financial realities.
  • Another night of baseball near-no-hitters.  Juan Urias gave up only one hit through 6 against the Diamondbacks.
  • Didn't compare to what Spencer Turnbull did to the Mariners tonight for his Tigers.  Turnbill no-hit the Mariners for the sixth actual and fifth recognized no-hitter of the season...  It's May 18th.
  • The MLB record for the modern era is 7, three times (1990, 1991, and 2012).  1884 had eight.  I have a feeling there will be far more than that by the time we reach October at this rate!  Thank you to my anonymous baseball-historian friend for that statistic.   
  • And to MLB.com for not making us have to subscribe to see the final two innings.
