“I just wanted to shake it up a little bit,” manager Aaron Boone said after shifting Volpe to a different spot in the order for the first time since April 9 and bumping Rice to leadoff.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker would be a lock for Cooperstown if he spends his entire career playing at Dodger Stadium.  Walker is hitting like he’s Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth in one body when he’s at the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he proved that again Thursday night when he helped the Diamondbacks earn a 9-3 victory over Shohei Ohtani and Co.  Walker went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBIs in the series finale against the Dodgers. Moreover, Walker became just the first big leaguer in over nine decades to accomplish a feat last pulled off by New York Yankees legend Lou Gehrig. Via OptaSTATS:

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
