Robinson Cano accomplished something in Thursday night’s 5-3 loss to Cleveland that he had never done in his 373 previous games with the Mariners.

As is always the case with the Draft, this was an engaging evening. And it all kicked off with Mickey Moniak. He became the shiny new piece of the Phillies’ ongoing rebuilding effort, his name on the lips of fans and, potentially, on the rear of his pal.

With their first of four picks on Day One of the MLB Draft, the Cardinals selected 17-year-old Delvin Perez, a shortstop from Puerto Rico, with the No. 23 overall pick.

At the tender age of 43, Bartolo Colon carved his way through the Brewers’ lineup, allowing one run over seven innings, and the Mets took the series opener against the Crew at Miller Park, 5-2, on Thursday.

The Phillies selected La Costa Canyon (Calif.) High School outfielder Mickey Moniak on Thursday with the first overall pick in the 2016 Draft. Moniak, 18, is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound left-handed hitter who’s most often compared to Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich. Moniak’s stock started to rise last summer and continued to rise through the spring, as he hit .476 with 12 triples, seven home runs, 46 RBIs and a .921 slugging percentage in his senior year.

Yadier Molina singled with the bases loaded to break a tie in the top of the eighth inning as the Cardinals rallied to beat the Reds, 3-2, on Thursday night at Great American Ball Park.

The Twins have leaned on their bullpen quite a bit recently, and the relief corps had been up to the task. That changed Thursday night, when things went from bad to worse in a hurry for the bullpen in a 10-3 loss to the Marlins, punctuated by an injury to right-hander Phil Hughes.

‘Twas a funny exchange.

This weekend brings several intriguing division matchups on MLB.TV, but it will be tough to top tonight’s NL West showdown in San Francisco.

The Red Sox pounced on ultra-talented lefty Jason Groome with the 12th pick in the 2016 Draft on Thursday. The 17-year-old Groome, who is 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, was projected by many to be selected with one of the top few picks in the Draft. Groome entered the Draft ranked atop MLBPipeline.com’s Top 200 Prospects list, though he was not projected to go first overall in MLBPipeline’s most recent mock Draft.

Miguel Gonzalez came up big in his return to the White Sox rotation, throwing six innings of one-run ball in a 3-1 victory against the Nationals on Thursday night at U.S. Cellular Field. It was the first win for Gonzalez since July 25, 2015, snapping a streak of 14 starts without a victory.
