Charlie Blackmon Feeling Better

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon told reporters Saturday that he's gaining confidence in his injured calf and is already feeling good while hitting and throwing.

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis threw a bullpen on Friday and felt no ill effects from the work on Saturday, a big step in his recovery from the oblique injury that he suffered on May 14.

Scott Oberg Records Second Save

Colorado Rockies temporary closer Scott Oberg looked like he was going to have the day off on Saturday after the Rockies took a four-run lead into the ninth inning, but a rocky outing for Carlos Estevez meant Oberg had to come in to nail down the last out with the tying run at the plate....

Read More

With some relief, Kansas City Royals closer Ian Kennedy was able to cash in the save on Thursday against Texas.

Billy Hamilton Records Two Hits

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton smacked a pair of singles on Wednesday against the White Sox, giving him his first multi-hit game in nearly three weeks.

Kansas City Royals second baseman Nicky Lopez was mired in the midst of an 0-for-20 slump when he came up to bat with a runner on in the top of the 6th inning on Wednesday. Lopez drilled a triple to right to bring in the run and eventually score himself. Two innings later, he smacked... Read More

Jorge Soler Sets Career High In HRs
