Pleading the fifth with Cano
—
Robinson Cano has not not driven in a run since time began. Or June 17, it only seems like since time began. When Mariano Rivera has more RBI than you do in the last nine games, something is amiss. Cano is hitting .300 after getting a couple of hits last night. But he’s now at .213 ...

What is that…like nine RBI per season? ...
