When you went to sleep Friday night, unless you stay up late and live on the West Coast, the Giants and Rockies were still playing. And playing. And playing. Meanwhile, the Astros kept rolling, even against the red-hot Mariners, and the Mets are forming new bonds.
It was like an impromptu doubleheader, with the Giants and Rockies playing for 18 innings. And the seagulls didn’t appreciate having to wait.
By the time the Giants defeated the Rockies in the 18th inning last night, the stands were mostly filled with seagulls. https://t.co/ZthDNv2vhT pic.twitter.com/JyZpTaINpR

In an early-season meeting of two of baseball’s World Series favorites, the Astros swept the Yankees, showing they might be the top team to beat. Then they went to Seattle and kept it going, hitting two grand slams against the 13-2 Mariners.
Noah Sydergaard and Pete Alonso, two young superstars. A lot of feels here for Mets fans.
And now for the coolest thing you’ve seen in baseball today: Fans of the Double-A Birmingham Barons have started a new tradition, waving to patients at the adjacent children’s hospital during the seventh-inning stretch.
So cool.
Instead of a 7th inning stretch, the @BhamBarons are doing a “7th inning wave” where fans wave to patients of at the Children’s Hospital of Alabama that’s located in right field.https://t.co/Yt32txiFFM
