The Mutt’s season is winding down and Taijuan Walker will make his last start against the visiting Marlins. Walker, like his team, experienced early-season success but was flogged at Fenway in his latest outing and has won once in his last 15 tries. Miami’s Elieser Hernandez has lost back-to-back games to pitiful Pittsburgh and washed-up Washington, allowing eight runs over 14 frames. So for the last time this year, 20 units on the Mets.
The Pirates, down 6-3, came back and clubbed the Cubs 8-6. Colin Moran with a three-run homer. Rally has us at -306 kenttekulves.
