Aquaman in LA, concern in Houston, Manny the birthday boy
By Tab Bamford
Who throws a trident?
Apparently the Dodgers do! After capping off a four-run, ninth inning comeback, outfielder Alex Verdugo took a picture with what appears to be Aquaman’s trident.
Concern in Houston
Cubs outfielder Albert Almora’s foul ball hit a young fan who was immediately rushed out of her seat. A shaken Almora was consoled by manager Joe Maddon and teammates. He eventually walked down to near where the child had been seated and embraced a security guard.

Fan Post of the Day
We’re not sure we’re comfortable enough in a crouch to try this throw with a baseball or a softball.

The Minnesota Twins hopped on a plane in style. Ace José Berríos shared this family photo from before takeoff. Shoutout to Nelson Cruz for the excellent La Tortuga shirt.
OTD
2011 – Yankees starter Bartolo Colon pitches his first shutout since 2006. The 38-year-old blanks the Athletics 5-0 for the victory.
1962 – In the first game of a doubleheader at Memorial Park, Indians pitcher Pedro Ramos does it all. Ramos pitches a three-hitter and contributes two home runs – including a grand slam – in a 7-0 victory over the Orioles.
Happy birthday!
