It was not a great night for Drange—who saw half his bracket obliterated in a single evening, with the Rangers falling to the O’s.

Heydinger and (our other newcomer) Klueh earned a respectable seven points apiece, and are off to an early lead in the Third Annual Big League Ballcap Bet.

Let the games begin.
