Zack Greinke and Jhoulys Chacin engaged in an old-fashioned pitching duel. Of the two, Chacin had the better night, but neither one of them finished the game.

Descalso Comes Through in Clutch

Marte Shocked by Cano Suspension
The Arizona second baseman has a long and dedicated history with Seattle’s future Mr. 3,000. Knowing him how he does, he was shocked by the news of the suspension.
“I played with him for three years so I know what kind of person he is. He respects baseball a lot. When you talk to him, you can see how much he respects the game. That’s why I got surprised because I never thought he’d be in the moment he is now.”
According to MLB, Cano’s time on the disabled list will count toward his suspension – which means he could return to the field sometime in August.
