Snake Bytes, 7/24: Real, honest-to-god, baseball
Photo by Harry How/Getty Images Overall, a pretty quiet Opening Day. The Yankees and Nationals were only able to play about half of a game before the rains came, rather fitting in a shortened season if you ask me. No one told the Giants the season was starting, and the Dodgers put up eight runs on them. The biggest news by far was regarding what comes after the regular season...
The Yankees had been leading 4-1 at the time of the delay, sparked by a first-inning, two-run homer from Giancarlo Stanton. Nationals starter Max Scherzer had been having an up-and-down night, striking out 11 batters but allowing 10 baserunners in 5.1 innings pitched.
