Baseball in New York and in Washington on 9/11.

The Angels play the Nationals in D.C.

The Halos’ Yusei Kikuchi has made three starts since his recall from the Cucamonga Quakes.

Lost to Texas and Philly but blanked the Bucs for six innings and picked up his first win from 10 starts this MLB season.

The Nats’ Cade Cavalli is 4-0 in his past six starts, giving up four runs over his past 30 innings.

Leave Kikuchi. Take the cannoli and Cavalli for $50.

With the Rangers up 3-0, Jakob Junis came in to pitch the seventh inning.

Junis threw 10 pitches, got no one out, allowed four runs, including a Julio Rodriguez three-run homer, and the Mariners wrangled the Rangers 4-3.
