00:00Welcome to Quick Pitch, presented by Home Depot, where we are in the middle of a drought.
00:04A no-hitter drought, that is.
00:06Can you believe the last complete game, No-No, came all the way back in August of 2024?
00:11That was courtesy of Blake Snell.
00:13Now, in 2025, we witnessed the first season without a no-hitter in almost two decades.
00:18And we haven't had back-to-back seasons without a no-hitter since the 1930s.
00:22So what are the odds that the streak would be broken by a man whose last start was skipped
00:27due to a viral infection, one that actually led to him dropping nine pounds over two days?
00:33I'll tell you what, Ryan was no longer under the Weathers with the way he was dealing against the Orioles.
00:40The Weathers took a no-hitter into the seventh, but it was the Yankees' inability to hit late that cost
00:44them.
00:45New York loses another close one and are now just three and nine in games decided by one run.
00:50That's tied with the Mets for the worst record in one-run games this season.
00:55Coming up, Rivalry Weekend is just days away, but the Giants and Dodgers are kicking things off early,
01:01renewing their West Coast conflict after things got spicy last month.
01:05We've got the mellow side of America, right?
01:09Cool coastal energy, Pacific paradise.
01:12People flow through life like the water, not a worry or care in the world.
01:17Unless, of course, you're the Dodgers and Giants.
01:20This West Coast rivalry is anything but chill.
01:22These two teams have a history of heated encounters, including when things got spicy earlier this season.
01:28But, hey, that's what makes a great rivalry, right?
01:30On Monday, the fire may ignite even more with the all-time series tied.
01:35Told you this one runs as deep as the Pacific.
01:37Who will shine like their Golden State in game one of a four-game set?
01:41It's Giants and Dodgers.
01:43The D-back starting rotation seems to have found its stride over their last four games.
01:47No Arizona starter has allowed more than a single run in that span.
01:51But if Zach Gallin is to join that trend Tuesday in Texas, he'll need to pitch better than his last
01:57two outings.
01:58Gallin has surrendered 10 runs over his last pair of starts.
02:01Coming up, we look back on the legendary career of Bobby Cox and the impact he made on those around
02:08him
02:08through the words of the players he managed.
02:11Football lost an icon over the weekend as Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox passed away at the age of
02:1784.
02:17Cox managed for 29 seasons and became a legend during his 25 seasons with the Braves,
02:23winning 14 consecutive division titles, five National League pennants, and the 1995 World Series.
02:31With such a long and storied career at the helm of a dominant Braves team,
02:34it's no surprise he made such a profound impact on so many players that he coached.
02:39Take a listen to just a few.
02:41Evelyn for the Angels and Guardians, as seen in the same game parlay spotlight presented by Vandal.
02:47This is where the heart is, and the Guardians love it when the Angels come to visit.
02:51They've won 28 of their 32 home games against the Halos dating back to the start of 2015.
02:57That's the best home record by any team against any opponent during that span.
03:01Back in 2022 when the Astros swept the Mariners in the ALDS,
03:06well, Seattle clearly does because they've had no problems with Houston since then.
03:10The Mariners have won eight straight against the Astros and are 30 and 14 against Houston
03:15since being swept in the 2022 postseason.
03:17Hard to believe the D-backs Rangers World Series matchup was over two years ago.
03:22And on Monday, they matched up again with both teams looking to get back to their winning ways.
03:27We have highlights after the break.
04:02Here they come.
04:03Whoa!
04:03The Rays have won again.
04:06They've now won 15 of their last 17 games and improved to 9-1 against ALE's opponents this season.
04:12Tampa Bay's 27-13 start is tied for their third best ever through 40 games to begin a year.
04:19The best moment from Monday takes us to Houston.
04:23You did hear that apparently J-Rod was nice and gave the shoes back.
04:26I mean, he was barefoot.
04:28That's a long time to be running around a ballpark barefoot.
04:30But maybe if he had socks, it would be different.
04:33It makes for a good memory, though.
04:35All right, guys, that's our way to end the show.
04:37We'll see you next time.
