Gabriel Rincones Jr., who used The Cranberries' "Zombie" as his walk-up music, homered in his first AB at Citizens Bank Park. His first big-league hit.

Dave Dombrowski watching Jhoan Durán close games out for this ballclub.

(He’s now 90 saves from passing Jonathan Papelbon for the team’s all time saves record)

[Sean Carlin @SeanCarlin84]

Has Dombo hit on any of his signings? Keller is a mess.

[Les Bowen @LesBowen]

The weirdest part of all this is that Weiss and her unqualified minions expect to be given deference by real journalists. Like everyone at 60 minutes was just going to pretend to be happy working for hacks.
I think Scott Pelley has a better future than CBS.

[Matt Gelb @MattGelb]

Phillies 4, Dodgers 3. An absurd baseball game that included the Phillies pinch-hitting for their cleanup hitter in the 6th and a run scoring without the runner touching home plate. The Phillies are somehow 30-28.

Cristopher Sanchez in May:

8 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 10 K
7 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
9 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 13 K
8 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
7 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K

39 IP, 25 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 45 K, 0.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP

Just absolutely nasty.

Zack Baun says he feels like Vic Fangio “has taken things to the next level” with the Eagles defense this year.

[Matt Gelb @MattGelb]

There it is. Cristopher Sánchez has pitched 41 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, a Phillies record since at least 1893, when the current mound distance was established.

They did, it was called America

I was told that batting average doesn't matter anymore?

[Adam Lazarus @lazarusa57]

Kyle Schwarber’s .232 career batting average would break the Hall of Fame floor by more than 20 points. Not ideal.

[Brandon Lee Gowton @BrandonGowton]

Trea Turner has been a brutal watch.

[Sean Carlin @SeanCarlin84]

Trea Turner might be a worse contract than Castellanos.

[Edward A. Kelly @IAFFPresident]

Bobby Kilduff was one of our best.

For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)

[EJ Smith @EJSmith94]

Vic Fangio, always a quote machine:
- On him contemplating retirement earlier this offseason: “Your birth certificate tells you that you should consider it, … I’m good for two years, at least.”
- On golfing w/ Jeff Stoutland: “I usually win, and I’m older than him.”
- On more creative coaching titles: “Worth about as much as this water bottle once I’m done drinking it.”

[Nick Gambill @NickBGambill]

Absolutely remarkable comeback given the incident in Dallas.

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

The Karma Police got Connor Fennell. 🔊🚨
