If you take yesterday’s date, 4/16, it reduces to 1/4. As in, one-fourth of the teams we usually cover had a one-day postponement due to, uh, cold weather. Rochester (Nationals AAA) had some wind squalls that may have made baseball unplayable, or at least, unwatchable: 37 degrees at game time with 25 mile-per-hour wind gusts. They play a double-header today: Cooper Criswell gets the ball at 3:35. Onto games that were played... let’s get into it!
Portland: W, 7-5 (BOX SCORE)
