Virtual Baseball: The Killer D.Gs! Domingo, Deivi Hold Back Jays, as Yanks Split Series.

In Virtual Baseball this afternoon, the Yankees managed to salvage a split of their four-game set with the Toronto Virtual Blue Virtual Jays, 6-4.

Surprise starter Domingo German and pick-up man Deivi Garcia managed to (pretty much) stop the constant barrage of Toronto hits and home runs today at the Stadium.  German allowed three runs in his five innings of work, and Garcia gave up just one more, giving the bullpen a much-needed breather.

Sunday starters Mike Ford, Tyler Wade, and Kyle Higashioka all homered for the Yanks, with Higgy's two-run, opposite-field fly off the foul pole, again reliever Wilmer "Helvetica" Font deciding the issue.

Teoscar Hernandez and Randal Grichuk homered for the Bleu Jays.  But in the ninth, it all came down to Garcia trying to get the final out against Joe Panik, with the bases loaded.  With the sold-out Stadium crowd stamping and clapping, Deivi managed to push Panik's button by telling him his shoes were untied, then striking him out with a perfect, off-speed curve.

Meanwhile, joyous Republican delegates piled into Charlotte, North Carolina, for the start of their party's convention tomorrow.

Giddy with the fact that the Dow Jones average has remained near 60,000 despite ongoing revelations about secretly owned Russian finance companies—the latest, Izsheet.com, was exposed today—and that President Trump is still drawing at least 55 percent of the vote in most polls, the delegates were expecting a four-day loveliest, with all that loving enhanced by copious amounts of liquor and barbecue.
