One more injury to a Giants wide receiver and Eli Manning is going to pull a Troy Tulowitzki and pull the plug on his career.

The Red Sox-Yankees series isn’t about Boston catching New York. It’s about the Sox staying alive for a wild card. Pitching has been an issue for the defending champs. Chris Sale, David Price and Rick Porcello have been inconsistent to just plain awful. Newly acquired Andrew Cashner is still pitching like an Oriole. And Nathan Eovaldi has been on the shelf all season. Eduardo Rodriguez, 8-1 in his past 11 starts, 5-1 at Fenway, has evolved into their most reliable starter. CC Sabathia takes his turn for the Yankees The 39-year-old big man was lit up by the Twins for seven runs Monday after a pair of sub-par starts versus the Rays. Play 20 units on the desperate Bosox.

Skid row. Played two. Lost both. The Rockies crushed the Reds 12-2, with Luis Castillo shelled for three in the first inning, six runs over five. Then Zack Greinke left after six with a 2-1 lead before the Snakes in the pen allowed two in the ninth, letting the Marlins walk off with 3-2 win. DP has us at -841 geronimos.
