April 14th-April 20th
April 14th, 2029: I claimed LHP Doug Parsons off waivers from the Mets and optioned him to New Orleans. He's rated 3/3.5 with elite stuff, average movement, and plus stamina.
We have today off, but will head north of the border to face the Montreal Expos for the first time in new-Expos history. We'll see Crusito Mieses (1-1, 5.19 ERA), Stephen Pelli (0-1, 2.08 ERA), and Luis Peraza (0-1, 1.74 ERA).
April 16th, 2029: We opened the series in Montreal with Devon Peterson (1-1, 3.38 ERA, 1.69 WHIP) taking on Crusito Mieses (1-1, 5.19 ERA, 1.50 WHIP). Like every other series opener, we won, this time an impressive 9-2.
Devon Peterso went 7.2 innings with 7 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. Ignacio Hinojos went 1.1 innings with 2 hits, but he struck out 4.

We're stuck at 5th in the Power Rankings. At 9-4, we are tied with the Mets for first in the division.
We looked to take the series a day early with Steve Paustian (2-0, 3.28 ERA, 0.88 WHIP) facing Stephen Pelli (0-1, 2.08 ERA, 0.92 WHIP). Tied at 2 in the 9th, Chris Reid had a two run error that gave us our first middle game win of the year.

Ronny Mauricio's hit streak was snapped at 21 games.

April 18th, 2029: The Nationals will be without LHP Cole Ragans for the year with a torn rotator cuff. He was 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA in 10.2 innings.
We opened the Giants series with Pat Saitta (1-1, 5.94 ERA, 1.80 WHIP) facing Eric Warren (1-0, 1.38 ERA, 0.62 WHIP). This was a complete and utter annihilation, as we shut them out 27-0, including a 13 run 8th inning. Three position players, Jurickson Profar, Anthony Alford, and Corey Seager, all pitched in the 8th.
Saitta tossed 7.1 scorless with 3 hits, 3 walks, and 9 strikeouts. Ignacio Hinojos tossed 1.2 innings with a strikeout.

Man that was awesome! I earned the achievement "Dominating Show" for this domination.
Mariners RF Janiesel Rivera hit his 300th career homer. The 30-year-old has a .290/.396/.528 career line with 301 homers (he hit two today) and 753 RBI's.
April 19th, 2029: I wonder if we have any runs left? C.J. Jorgensen (2-0, 0.86 ERA, 0.57 WHIP) will face Juan Tafoya (0-2, 4.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) as we look to stay hot. The Giants got 5 in the 5th, and evened the series with a 6-3 win.

After allowing the Giants to tie the game in the 6th, 8th, and 9th, we didn't give them a chance in the 11th, where Daylen Lile hit a walk-off single off former Marln Phil Maton to give us a 5-4 series win.
We've now won every opener and every finale this season. And lost all middle games, but one.
