A report this week said Bob Baffert’s Triple Crown winner, Justify, failed a drug test prior to the 2018 Derby. Baffert suggested the result was caused not by illegal drugs but by contaminated food. This just in … the Patriots have signed Bob Baffert.

The Braves and Nationals are going to run 1-2 in the NL East, but the Nats must keep winning to qualify for the postseason. Max Fried (16-5), who throws for Atlanta, lost Tuesday for the first time since July, allowing the Phillies to score five in five innings. An uncharacteristic outing for Fried, who shut out the Nats over seven innings two starts back. Anibal Sanchez is 8-8, but 2-0 against Atlanta. He comes off back-to-back losses, but no-hit the Twins for five innings, taking a hard-luck decision. Play 10 units on the desperate Nats.

The Cardinals jumped out to 2-0 lead, but Mike Moustakas hit a two run homer off Jack Flaherty to tie it and the Brewers went on to win the game, 5-2. Back-to-back losses take us to -381 bobbytolans.
