Asked if he's upset about a Page Six report that had Matt Harvey out partying in Los Angeles the night before pitching in San Diego, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said: "Usually I get upset if a report is unexpected. So I guess the short answer is no."

The Cardinals are the only team without a triple. Last year, the Orioles went the first 33 games without one. In 2016, the Braves went 34 games, the Orioles went 29, confirmed by @EliasSports. The Cardinals, as late as 1983, hit 63 triples in a season. Changing game. #quirkjians

Major-league batters have driven in only 52% of runners from 3rd base with less than 2 outs this season. The last time the percentage was that low over an entire season was 45 years ago (52% in 1973).

Mookie Betts is raking. Now with two homers today. He's got eight homers in his last 12 games. He's got 10 homers through the Sox' first 30 games -- a 54-homer pace. He hit 24 homers last year.

After 11-2 loss to Rockies today, Cubs Yu Darvish has 0.75 ERA in two starts vs. #Brewers (12 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 17 K) and 9.50 ERA in other four starts (18 IP, 26 H, 20 R, 19 ER, 13 BB, 20 K). Interesting.

A Dback and two former Dbacks.

And Martinez got the award the previous month (the final month of last season) as a D-back.

Albert Pujols needs 2 hits to become the 32nd player to reach 3,000 career hits and only the 2nd Dominican-born player to achieve the feat.

The #mets have designated Matt Harvey for assignment after he refused to go to the minors. Sandy Alderson just announced it.

L.A. story: This is the first time in MLB history that a team has recorded a no-hitter and a player has recorded his 3,000th hit on the same day.

Really nice gesture by the White Sox: Tomorrow is Nurse Appreciation Day at Guaranteed Rate Field, and the team gave tickets to the nurses from Rush University Medical Center taking care of Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar, who is recovering from a ruptured brain aneurysm.
