ATL 4, LAD 3; DET 3, OAK 2

The AL nightcap threatened to turn into another blowout, but the big fella settled down and got his pickers some points. Not as many as Scherzer, though.

First, the twilight game, which was some exciting baseball:

Freeman 2
Gattis 1
AGon 1
JHey 1
Puig 1
HanRam 8 (!)

Greinks 9

That left the leaderboard looking like Dunn, Ramos, and Shotwell, but the nightcap put everyone on the board thanks to:

Miggy 1
Fielder 1
Jackson 2
Martinez 3
Moss 1

Colon 10
Scherzer 16

Tough to make predictions at this point; now that the front-line starters have had their turn, it's a game of inches for a few days. But I do know three things: 1) Hanley goddamn Ramirez always finds a way to piss me off; 2) arithmetic fuck-ups are the state bird of the LDSes, so don't feel shy about checking my math; and 3) we're back in action at cocktail hour in the east: TB/BOS at 5:30 PM ET.
