On the MLB Podcast with Matt:
1 Tampa Bay Rays have moved their series with the New York Yankees from Tampa Bay to Citi Park in New York due to tropical Hurricane Irma the series was supposed to start this Monday through Wednesday in Tampa but with Irma taking aim at Tampa Bay MLB decided to put the series in New York at Citi Park and the Rays would be the home team for that series. The Hurricane has been weakened to a category three from a category four but still Florida Gov Rick Scott has issued a mandatory evacuation for all of Florida.
2 Michael Taylor accomplished a rare feat with an inside the park grand slam on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Taylor wasted no time rounding the basis for the inside job.
3 The Cobb County Stadium disc jockey made an error by playing the hit song “Rock you like a Hurricane” over the sound system in a game between the Braves and the Miami Marlins. The song was played with no harmful intent and removed from the Braves playlist.
4 Colorado Rockies with their win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night continued the Dodgers loss streak at eight straight
5 The Oakland A’s play a traditional doubleheader Saturday. The A’s host the Astros for a three game series at the Oakland Coliseum. This one will beat a day night double header which would translate into a long day the traditional has a 45 minute intermission. The fans love it, the players know they just have to go out and perform.
