3/27 - Day 2
Ninth inning rally falls short
Madison Bumgarner was too much to handle for the Braves offense tonight. Even though he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits, Bumgarner was never in any real trouble. With 2 outs in the ninth, the Braves made things interesting. A Marcell Ozuna single was followed by a double by Adeiny Hechavarria to put runners on 2nd and 3rd. However, Austin Riley, pinch hitting for the pitcher, lined out to center to end the game.

A stray cat wondered onto the field during the 3rd inning of the Red Sox-Blue Jays game. After a 10 minute chase the tabby was apprehended and play resumed. Toronto went on to win the game 6-5, prompting calls for the cat to become the team's official "meows-cot".
