Jon Gray Hit Hard By Diamondbacks

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray took a no-decision against Arizona on Wednesday, but that's only because his offense bailed him out.

Rashaad Penny Quiet In Debut

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny got just as many carries on Sunday as starter Chris Carson, but the two had very different days.

Read More

Will Dissly Has Huge Week 1

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Will Dissly was supposed to mostly be a blocking tight end, but he led the team in receiving yards in his very first pro game. Dissly did most of his damage on a massive 66-yard catch-and-run that led to a Seattle field goal, and he also grabbed a 15-yarder for... Read More

Russell Wilson A Mixed Bag In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had an up-and-down game against Denver in Week 1.

Wilson should be one... Read More

Chris Carson Shows Off His Ups

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson led the way on the ground against the Broncos on Sunday, and his performance included a highlight-reel run and lowlight-reel fumble.

Doug Baldwin Out For Rest Of Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin has been ruled out for the rest of the team's Week 1 game with the Broncos after hurting his right knee.

Ryan O'Hearn Triples, Carries KC Offense

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn was the only one to find a weakness in Corey Kluber's performance on Wednesday as O'Hearn's triple was one of just two hits allowed by the Cy Young winner.

Adam Ottavino Finishes Off The Giants

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Adam Ottavino got the ninth-inning call on Wednesday after normal closer Wade Davis had pitched on back-to-back days, and Ottavino took care of business.

Antonio Senzatela Takes No-Decision Against SF

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela was granted a no-decision on Wednesday after his offense bailed him out.

Read More

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was the man of the night on Wednesday as he drilled three home runs to lead the team over the Giants.

Detrez Newsome Leads The Way Against Seattle

Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome knew he'd be the man coming into the game against Seattle, and he took advantage of the opportunity.

Geno Smith Widens The Gap For Backup Job

Last week, Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Geno Smith took advantage of the team's first preseason game to establish that he was more polished than competitor Cardale Jones.

Jon Ryan Leaving Seattle

Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan is officially calling it quits with the Seahawks following the team's second preseason game.

Read More

Rasheem Green Looks Like He'll Be A Star

Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive lineman Rasheem Green racked up another 1.5 sacks against the Chargers, giving him three in two games.
