Even though Friday's game was rained out, Miami and the New York Mets still played 30 innings of baseball this weekend in the Big Apple. On Saturday, the Marlins won 2-1 in 20 innings in the longest game played since Citi Field opened in 2009 and one that matched the longest ever in Marlins' franchise history. The Saturday marathon included 15 straight scoreless innings, from the 5th through the 19th, 561 total pitches and saw the Mets go 0-for-19 with runners in scoring position, setting a new team record for the worst performance in that situation.

The Chicago White Sox defeated the Seattle Mariners 7-5 in 16 innings on Wednesday, with all 12 runs scored at Safeco Field coming during the extra frames. The 12 combined extra-inning runs tied an American League record for the most in a game. It also was the first game in MLB history in which each team scored more than five runs in a game that was scoreless through nine innings. Mariners' third baseman Kyle Seager hit a two-out, game-tying grand slam in the bottom of the 14th inning off of White Sox closer Addison Reed.

Baseball's All-Time All-Steroid Team [11]

Baseball's all-time starting (allegedly) performance-enhanced lineup.

Steroids are as synonymous with baseball as hot dogs or cold beer. It's an unfortunate era of the game that fans of all ages must accept. Are the use of performance-enhancing drugs terrible for the body and a form of cheating? Yes, and this country should work diligently to combat their growth. But steroids are a part why the game survived during the '90s — aka the 1998 home run chase — and, unfortunately, don't seem to be going away any time soon.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBIs and two runs scored on Tuesday night, helping lead his team to a 9-7 victory over San Diego at Dodger Stadium. More significant, the 22-year-old Cuban became the first Dodger in franchise history to hit more than one home run in his first two career games. He also became the first Dodger with five RBIs in his first two games since Spider Jorgensen drove in six runs on April 17, 1947, against the Boston Braves, according to the team and Elias Sports Bureau.
