Always a great thing when Rickwood Field in Birmingham is showcased. Latest East-West Classic will be June 19, a Juneteenth celebration, a tribute to the Negro Leagues All-Star Games arranged by Major League Baseball. It’s where a teenaged Willie Mays played for the Black Barons.
That must have felt good for Rafael Devers. Didn’t strand anybody this time. Three-run homer in the sixth, game’s first runs. That’s why Giants got him.
Daniel Susac is first Giant to get hits in his first five career at-bats since 1900. The previous best career start by a Giant was a 4-for-4, in 1959, a fellow named McCovey.

League made scoring change and gave Chapman an error for first-inning throw. So he was charged with two errors on the day and Schmitt none. I thought in real time both E’s should have gone to the first baseman.
Regarding the clip of Matt Chapman seemingly telling Casey Schmitt to catch the f—-ing ball, Tony Vitello compared it to what you might tell your brother in the backyard if he didn’t catch your throws.

Giants starter Robbie Ray threw five scoreless innings before the Yankees erupted in the sixth. Catcher Patrick Bailey said “best I’ve seen him since he’s been a Giant. His fastball has been good since he’s been here, but the slider’s different this year. He believes in it.”
