Mariners 8–4 already ran. Yankees 6–3 already ran. Orioles 10–2 already ran. This is Saturday night’s unused rout.
Associated Press / CBS Sports, Saturday at Citizens Bank Park: Tampa Bay 12, Philadelphia 1. Aaron Nola (7–12) was hit hard on two days’ rest and left trailing 3–0 after one inning. Junior Caminero a two-run homer in the first; AP also gave him 101 RBIs. We will not type a season homer count — the recap and the box disagree. Richie Palacios four RBI and an RBI double in that first. Victor Mesa Jr. his first four-hit game, 4-for-5, three runs, two RBI, two doubles. Rays 17 hits. Phillies 7 hits, 1 run, unearned in the seventh, snapping a 21-inning scoreless streak.
Griffin Jax took a 104-mph liner from Trea Turner off his lower back and left after three innings; the ball caromed to Taylor Walls, who threw Turner out. Steven Matz (6–6) got the win. José Alvarado three runs in the fifth; José Urquidy three in the sixth, 10–0. Rays 98–63. Phillies 87–74, four straight losses, 9–14 in September. AP: Philadelphia had a 6½-game lead for the third NL wild card on Sept. 1; Arizona lost 10–7 at San Diego and remains one game back, and holds the tiebreaker, so the Phillies still need a Sunday win or an Arizona loss. Zack Wheeler listed Sunday. We will not invent that score. Morning’s unused 8–4 already ran.
What this means for you
If you needed this morning’s unused Seattle file, it still stands. If you needed this afternoon’s unused sports, it is 12–1 in Philadelphia. Not 8–4. Not Sunday.
Bottom line: 12–1. Nola one inning. Not 8–4. Not a Sunday score.
