German Marquez Beats Giants

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez went five innings in San Francisco to pick up his eighth win of the season on Wednesday. It wasn't his sharpest outing, allowing two earned runs and nine baserunners, but his offense picked him up against a bad Giants squad and saw him through. Marquez only struck out two […]

David Dahl Hits Grand Slam In Win

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl carried the team's offense in their win over the Giants on Wednesday when he lifted a shot over the left-center wall for a grand slam in the top of the third inning. Dahl's opposite-field drive on the full-count fastball broke the game open and allowed Colorado's pitching staff to cruise […]

Brad Keller Thwarted By Rain

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller was on a roll through three innings in Cleveland, but an hour-long rain delay shut that down. Keller threw three shutout innings with four strikeouts before the rains came, and though he left with the lead, it was quickly coughed up by his replacement. Keller's strong start comes […]

Whit Merrifield Smacks 100th Hit of 2019

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield became the first player in the majors to reach 100 hits this season when he knocked a single in the sixth inning of Monday night's game in Cleveland. Merrifield also cranked his 11th home run of the year to left, though his team would fall in extra innings. […]

Wade Davis Breaks Rockies Curse

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis got to watch three different teammates give up walk-off home runs during the team's three-game series in LA, but he took charge and finished off Monday's game without drama. Handed a two-run lead in the ninth in San Francisco, Davis took care of his three batters in order, drawing a […]

Jon Gray Baffles Giants

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray was a monster against San Francisco on Monday. Gray tossed six innings of shutout ball while only allowing four hits and two walks, and he struck out six. His bullpen would hold the shutout and allow Gray to pick up his eighth win of the season. With the team […]

David Dahl Homers In Rockies Win

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl carried the offense to victory on Monday night in San Francisco as his third-inning round-tripper accounted for all the runs they could score. It was enough to win the game 2-0, and it was the second straight day that Dahl had homered. Dahl's ridiculous .408 BABIP has steadily fallen a […]

Homer Bailey Dominates Once Again

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey took care of the Twins on Sunday with another strong performance. Bailey, decked out in the throwback Negro League uniform of the Kansas City Monarchs, tossed 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball to earn the win. Bailey struck out five and only walked one, and his offense provided […]

Hunter Dozier Thumps Twins

Kansas City Royals infielder Hunter Dozier got back into the swing of things on Sunday as he drilled his 12th home run of the season. Dozier, who is looking to help bolster his run for the All-Star team, hammered a Michael Pineda offering in the bottom of the third inning over the bullpen in left […]

Scott Oberg Makes History

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg was supposed to be the key to ending the historic run of walk-off home runs by Dodgers rookies, but instead, he simply added his name to the record books. After two straight nights of walk-offs when other relievers were in, the solution was obvious. Send out Oberg, the team's […]

Antonio Senzatela Posts Another Good Outing

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela tossed another good game on the road on Sunday, but he was left without the decision after late-game shenanigans. Senzatela went 6 1/3 innings before exiting the game with runners on the corners. His replacement promptly gave up a pinch-hit three-run home run to the first batter he faced, […]

Tony Wolters Gets Two Hits In Loss

Colorado Rockies catcher Tony Wolters continued his surprising offensive performance by gathering up a pair of hits on Sunday against the Dodgers. Wolters doubled in a run in the eighth inning to tie up the game, raising his batting average to .308 on the season. Wolters is one of just two regular catchers hitting over […]

Wily Peralta Botches The 10th Inning

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Wily Peralta has surprisingly been decent over the last month. His laughable walk rate has come down as he's only walked four in his last 12 2/3 innings, and he's only allowed three earned runs in the time. Unfortunately, two of those came in the 10th inning against the Twins […]

Terrence Gore Turns On The Jets

Kansas City Royals "outfielder" Terrence Gore is retained for his speed on the basepaths, but he got off to a slow start this season, so to speak. As of May 28, Gore had swiped five bags, but he's also been caught five times. That's not a ratio that leads to more playing time. Since May […]

Hunter Dozier Pushing To Be All-Star

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier has been named as one of the finalists to be the starter in the All-Star Game at third base, and he helped bolster his campaign a little more on Saturday with a couple more runs batted in. Dozier returned on Friday from a trip to the injured list […]

Bryan Shaw Blows Another Lead

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Bryan Shaw had somehow won over some confidence from manager Bud Black, but after allowed a run for the third straight outing and blowing another lead, he certainly shouldn't get any more chances anytime soon. Shaw has absolutely fallen apart from the pitcher he used to be, and he is one […]

Raimel Tapia Hits Pinch-Hit Homer

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia was called on to pinch-hit in the sixth inning of Saturday's ballgame with the Dodgers, and he came through, drilling a line-drive home run to left field. The shot gave the Rockies the lead, but the bullpen would quickly squander it. Tapia has been relegated to fourth outfielder duty, starting […]

Peter Lambert Bounces Back From Bad Outing

Colorado Rockies rookie starting pitcher Peter Lambert was rocked last week by the Padres, but he kept his cool and held the division-leading Dodgers to just three runs in five innings on Saturday. Lambert didn't end up taking the decision in the game, but anyone escaping from LA with that kind of outing can feel […]

Ian Desmond Goes 4-For-4 In Loss

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond was one of the few offensive forces for the team in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers. Desmond racked up four hits in four plate appearances, featuring three singles and a double, and he drove in one run and scored another. Desmond has been on fire over the last couple weeks, […]

Jake Diekman Takes Third Loss In Nine Days

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Jake Diekman was considered an outside candidate to be the team's closer in 2019, but a combination of Ian Kennedy's growth and Diekman's struggles have put that possibility far out of mind. Diekman surrendered a game again on Friday night when he failed to get a single out when entrusted […]

Cheslor Cuthbert Homers, Knocks In Four

Kansas City Royals infielder Cheslor Cuthbert snuck a deep line drive over the left field wall in the bottom of the fifth inning in Friday night's game against the Twins, giving his team a three-run lead and himself four RBI for the night. Cuthbert's home run wasn't one of the mammoth blasts that teammate Jorge […]

Jairo Diaz Gives Up Walk-Off Homer

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Jairo Diaz has been maddeningly inconsistent this season, and he was up to his tricks again on Friday night. Coming off two clean outings against the Diamondbacks, Diaz was called in to pitch the ninth inning in a tied game where German Marquez had pitched eight wonderful frames. Diaz led it […]

Nolan Arenado Homers Through Injury

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado has been dealing with his injured foot for a couple days, but it doesn't seem to be slowing him down much. Arenado slipped his 19th home run of the season out to left field against an otherwise dominant Walker Buehler on Friday night, giving him a run scored in […]

Charlie Blackmon Continues To Destroy Baseballs

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is on a tear unlike many ever seen before. Over the last 12 days, Blackmon is hitting .500 over the course of 56 at-bats, and his OPS of 1.554 is just ridiculous. He's got an 11-game hitting streak that includes eight home runs, 17 RBI, 16 runs scored, and six […]

German Marquez Bounces Back

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez has been struggling lately, but he was on point on Friday night against the Dodgers. Marquez went eight innings while allowing just one earned run (and one unearned run). He was saddled with a no-decision due to a phenomenal outing by Walker Buehler on the other side, but that […]

Ian Kennedy Is Now A Stud Closer

Kansas City Royals closer Ian Kennedy shut down Minnesota in the ninth on Thursday to rack up his ninth save of the season, and he has suddenly become an excellent pitcher. Since May 30, Kennedy's numbers have been outstanding. He's recorded seven saves while striking out a phenomenal 12 batters in 7 1/3 innings of […]

Glenn Sparkman Gets His Revenge On Twins

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman got roughed up by Minnesota on Saturday, but he got even on Thursday. Sparkman held the Twins to just one run over seven innings to snag the win this week. Sparkman struck out three and allowed five hits in both games, but he scattered the hits more in […]

Nicky Lopez Has Another Multi-Hit Game

Kansas City Royals rookie second baseman Nicky Lopez seems to be getting his feet under him against major league pitching. On Thursday, Lopez hit safely for the fifth game in his last six, and it was his third multi-hit game in a row. Lopez got off to a slow start to his career, but he's […]

Alex Gordon Squashes Trade Rumors

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has become a surprising subject of some trade rumors since he's in the final year of his contract and has regained some of his former glory. However, Gordon has already gotten in front of the rumors by openly stating to reporters that he has zero intent of playing anywhere […]

Wade Davis Gets Save But Allows A Run

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis isn't having a good week. He appeared three times in the series with the Padres where the two teams combined to score more runs than had ever been scored in a four-game series. He allowed runs all three times, culminating in a spectacular meltdown on Sunday in which he allowed […]
