Morning news and notes for Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020

The Indians left Adam Plutko off their postseason roster, but do have Bradley Zimmer and Adam Cimber on it. That’s the transaction news of the day. In non-transaction news ...

Astros 4, Twins 1

The bad news: The Astros won.

The good news: Sergio Romo blew the game (with some help from bad defense) and Michael Brantley was the one to break it open.

Houston only needed 2 pitchers in this one. After a surprisingly quick hook for greinke, Framber Valdez was great. He walked the first 2 batters he faced, so I didn’t think I’d be writing that sentence, but baseball is weird like that.

The Twins’ playoff losing streak has reached 17 games.

White Sox 4, Athletics 1

Lucas Giolito’s 6 perfect innings to start off this game set the tone. Adam Engel and Jose Abreu provided the offense.

Rays 3, Blue Jays 1

Blake Snell gave up just one hit across 5.2 innings and struck out 9. The runs came via small ball and a Manny Margot 2-run homer. Old friend AJ Cole had a great year for TOronto, but did not fare well in this contest.

Yankees 68, Indians -1

All you need to know is that Adam Cimber pitched.
