From the very first inning, it was clear that runs would be at a premium. Patrick Corbin and Max Scherzer, starting pitchers for their respective teams, set the tone early. Corbin’s smooth delivery and sharp breaking balls kept hitters guessing, except Jose Ramirez, while Scherzer’s electric fastball had batters swinging at air. Continue reading →

STARTING PITCHERS:
Jon Lester 25-5 (1.82) vs. Noah Syndergaard 21-5 (2.00)

We’ve made it to another annual classic in the Mid-West Baseball League with the all-star game. The National League traveled to face the American League with a 4-game winning streak in the head-to-head matchup. This is great news as the A.L. holds the overall record at 12-8 through the first 20 renditions. It is the best of the best from the season getting one more crack at making fans happy. The A.L. decided to go with Noah Syndergaard as the starter and the N.L. countered with Jon Lester.

The N.L. got off to a hot start off Thor with singles by Charlie Blackmon, Francisco Lindor, and Joey Votto. Based loaded right from the get-go with no one out. Batting clean-up for the N.L. was Nolan Arenado and he got himself a pitch to hit but it just wasn’t enough as it was a long fly to right, however, Blackmon did score. 1-0 N.L. with only 1 out. Quickly the A.L. called to the pen and got Madison Bumgarner in to try and limit the damage to just 1. For the 2^nd batter in a row, the N.L. got themselves a sac fly from Robinson Cano and doubled the lead to 2. The man in the 6 hole was Adrian Beltre and Bumgarner probably never wants to face him again, Beltre gave a fastball down the middle a ride that Mike Trout could only watch in centerfield. Just like that 4-0. Syndergaard has himself an 81.00 ERA for his efforts. Continue reading →
