Sorry, Jose Reyes -- Trevor Story is probably gonna stick around the big leagues for a while.
The Cubs crushed not one, but two homers against Andrew Heaney of the Angels in the third inning, and the latter of the two can only be described as majestic.

The Pirates and Cardinals went back and forth as expected for the first five frames, and then it turned into a bullpen duel for the next six. Well, that's until Jordy Mercer decided he'd played enough baseball for the day, anyway.
With the Blue Jays down 3-2 and having the bases loaded in the ninth with one out against the Rays, this Jose Bautista slide was ruled an automatic double-play based on the new Chase Utley rule. It's probably the right call, but it's hard to say the innocuous grab fit within the spirit of the rule. This probably won't be the only controversial interpretation of the rule this season.

There's probably no classification for 95 mph pitches with that kind of movement, so let's just call it the Thor-level filth.

You might want to look up wherever you are, because this Giancarlo Stanton bomb off a Justin Verlander offering probably still hasn't landed yet. So much for the no-no -- the poor baseball never even saw it coming.
