I mean, to play devil's advocate, there were 15 games played in MLB last night and 8 different teams had at least one inning where they scored 5+ runs, including two games where *both* teams pulled it off (CHW-NYM, ARI-ATL). Even if you want to call last night an aberration, you can easily find two games on Monday's short schedule where a team scored 4 in the middle innings to bust open a game, and going back to Sunday you had a pair of teams that entered the 7th inning up 3-1 only to eventually lose 9-8 and 8-7 (Angels & Yankees, respectively) - with the Angels pulling that mere hours after both they & the Astros had 5+ runs in the 7th inning on Saturday.
