16 BATTERS AT THE PLATE WITH THE BASES DRUNK!

The Tigers shutout the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0.

Doug Fister pitched 7 innings, allowed 5 hits, no runs, no walks and added

5 strikeouts.

Austin Jackson went YARD.

The Big Potato picked-up his 38th save - keeping the streak alive.







The Red Sox shutout the Texas Rangers 6-0.

Former Tigers' pitcher Andrew Miller threw 6 1/3 innings, allowed 3 hits,

no runs, 2 walks and notched 6 Ks.

The Large Father and the guy with the longest-last-name-in-baseball both hit 'taters and A-Gon hit two jacks AGAIN!

The sweetest swing in baseball, folks...







Now let's discuss yesterday's debacle.

The afternoon game began with an 89-minute rain delay.

In the top of the 4th inning, the scoreboard read 7-1...A's over the Yankees.

It was still raining.

So, you KNOW a lot of the Yankees' douchebag fans headed home because the weather sucked and, apparently, their beloved team was about to get swept by the A's.

The Yankees ended-up winning 22-9.

The Oakland A's pitchers were brutal!

Oakland hurlers gave-up 13 walks! This provided Yankees' batters the opportunity to go the plate 16 times with the bases loaded!!

What do you think happens when a leading MLB franchise gets 16 at-bats with ducks-on-the-pond?

THE YANKEES BECAME THE FIRST TEAM IN MAJOR LEAGUE HISTORY TO HIT THREE GRAND SALAMIS IN A GAME!!!!

Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson all hit grand slams.

Cano and Granderson each had 5 RBIs. Martin had 6.









Jim Thome is going back to Cleveland, where he started hitting dingers

20 years ago.

Thome waived his no-trade clause, which allowed the Minnesota Twins to send him to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later.







In the Yankees' 22-9 schlacking of the A's, Derek Jeter came to bat 4 times with the bags juiced. He grounded out twice, struck-out and walked...and, according to PEOPLE, after dating for 3 years - Jeter and Minka Kelly have split!

Man, that's a bad day...
