League Updates

Kangaroos, Outs take charge

This will have to be a quick update. BP didn’t get their update done until sometime this afternoon, and I only have a few minutes before I have to leave for the evening.  Also, being in a hurry, I accidentally update Portland with all its season stats. I have fixed that in these standings and results.

Canberra: W 2, L (-1), 7 – (-1). (.325, .386, .425; 10.7 ip, 0 er).  Blake Snell pitched 5.7 ip, 0 er; Steve Matz added 3 more scoreless innings, and two relievers each tacked on another.  The crew struck out 11 and managed to dodge 8 walks by allowing only 3 hits. Meanwhile, Starling Marte went 3 for 5 with two doubles, leading an offense to which 10 out of 11 Kangaroos contributed at least one hit or hbp. The ‘Roos got themselves a sliver of breathing room in the suddenly blazing EFL race even though …

Brookland:  W, 8 – 0. (.306, .390, .639; 20.7 ip, 5 er).  … the Outs uncorked a monster day just when it looked like they might be sliding out of the dogpile atop the league, jumping from 4th to 2nd place.  Three players led the offense going 2 for 4 with homers:  CJ Cron, Daniel Descalso (who doesn’t play for the Cardinals so is not the reason Kolten Wong is losing his job in St. Louis, as I alleged the other day), and good old Manny Machado.  Jake Arrieta hurled 7 shutout innings, and Zack Godley and Jeremy Hellickson also pitched well.
