Yesterday
Giants and San Diego were postponed moments before the first pitch when a Giants player was reported as testing positive for covid-19.
Miami split a doubleheader with Philadelphia.
Colorado, Milwaukee, New York, and Cincinnati all won.
Today
Giants are idle as today's game is postponed as well (unless the test turns out to be a false positive). Best guess is a doubleheader tomorrow and a game Monday. It's also possible one of these games might be rescheduled for the Oracle Park series at season's end.
Miami hosts Philadelphia, Milwaukee has the Cubs at home, Cincinnati is at St Louis and the Mets are at Buffalo against Toronto.
Off To The Races
The Cardinals have dropped to 19-19, a worse record than the Giants and Miami, but still good enough for second place in the Central. The Brewers and the Reds thus have, as they say, "options." Milwaukee is only one game behind. Ironically, the Reds are helping the team ahead of them when they beat the other team ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Miami has a golden opportunity to move ahead of the Phillies in this weekend home series; they're only half a game back. The Mets are within two and a half. They got options, too.
San Diego's five and a half-game lead over the Giants is probably too much to overcome, so the Giants and Rockies have only one shot at this postseason. But we could see "Philadelphia" and "St Louis" replace "Miami" and "Milwaukee" on that leaderboard (followerboard?) in the next couple of days.
