Jaron Brown Shines Against Los Angeles

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown was the team's No. 1 wideout against the Chargers due to Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett staying on the sidelines with injuries, and he showed up. Brown got his damage done quickly, hauling in a 29-yard grab on the team's first offensive play and then snagging a 45-yard bomb […]

Russell Wilson Goes Deep Often Against Chargers

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson looked confident and comfortable in the pocket in the second preseason game against Los Angeles. Wilson regularly looked deep and connected on one huge 52-yard bomb to David Moore in the second quarter. Wilson finished his night 13-for-21 for 193 yards, but many of his misses were deep balls where […]

Chris Carson Looks Good Besides Fumbles

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson ran well during Seattle's second preseason game, but the only thing that's really going to be remembered were the fumbles. Following an unbelievable catch by David Moore, Seattle was on the one-yard line, a place very familiar to Seattle fans. This time, Carson got the call, and he dropped […]

DJ LeMahieu Extends Hitting Streak

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu is back to his old ways.

The former batting champion has gotten back into his groove of […]

Kyle Freeland Drops ERA To 2.96

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland is the quiet one in the National League Cy Young race.

With another quality start on Friday night against the Braves, Freeland lowered his season ERA to 2.96 and knocked out […]

Trevor Story Continues Summer Tear

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story drilled three more hits on Friday as he brought the Story Summer Tour to Atlanta. Story has been absolutely on fire this summer.

Charlie Blackmon Returns With A Vengeance

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon got an extra day off on Thursday as he continues to try to fight his way out of a prolonged slump, and on Friday, it looked like the plan worked.

Ian Desmond Demolishes Braves

Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond still hasn't hit a home run since July 22, but a bases-loaded triple led the way to a five-RBI outburst in a shellacking of Atlanta on Friday. Desmond drilled the bases-clearing triple in the third inning to help give the Rockies a lead, and they never looked back. A […]

Harrison Musgrave Demoted Back To Triple-A

Colorado Rockies pitcher Harrison Musgrave was sent back to Triple-A Albuquerque in the corresponding move to allow the team to activate Scott Oberg from the paternity list. Musgrave has been quite ineffective at the big league level this season, posting a 5.08 ERA with a 6.15 K/9 and 4.54 BB/9. Musgrave has worked as a […]

Scott Oberg Returns To Rockies

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg returned to the team on Friday night after missing three days to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.

Mike Dunn Throws Simulated Game

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mike Dunn is making his way back from the disabled list once again.

Frank Clark Returns For Saturday Night

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark is set to make his return to game action in Saturday night's preseason matchup with the Chargers. Clark had been sidelined since wrist surgery in June, but he's reportedly ready to go full speed. With the Legion of Boom disintegrated, the next generation of defensive players will need to […]

Mike Williams Gets Chance With Philip Rivers

In Week 1 of the preseason, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams proved he's healthy enough to play. In Week 2, he'll get the chance to catch some passes from first-string quarterback Philip Rivers and fans will get to see if the two seem to be on the same page. Williams returned a little […]

Sean Culkin Trying To Fill Big Shoes

The Los Angeles Chargers have been blessed with years of excellent tight end play, and second-year tight end Sean Culkin is going to try to step into some very big shoes. Culkin is mostly known as a blocking tight end, but after Hunter Henry was lost for the season, Culkin was presented with a golden opportunity. […]

Derwin James Carrying High Hopes From Coaches

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James may just be a rookie first-round draft pick, but his defensive coaches are already heaping praise on him about his football IQ before Week 2 of the preseason has come along. James was a late starter in training camp, but his play in the first preseason game seemed confident […]

Geremy Davis Needs To Be Special Teams Standout

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Geremy Davis did his part in Week 1 of the preseason by making a highlight-reel touchdown catch, but head coach Anthony Lynn has told reporters that something he's looking for out of a deep receiver is their performance in the kicking game. He specifically said Davis didn't stand out on […]

Detrez Newsome Looks To Shine

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Detrez Newsome got off to a hot start last week by scoring a nice touchdown in his first NFL preseason game.

Whit Merrifield Is Back In The Saddle

Following a small slump, Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield is back at it again. Merrifield smacked a pair of singles on Thursday to extend his current hitting streak to five games and bring his season batting average up to .300. Merrifield's power has pretty much disappeared this season as he's only knocked out […]

Jorge Bonifacio Is Starting To Drive The Ball

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Bonifacio has been pretty slow about getting back up to speed since he returned from his PED suspension, but he's starting to hit the ball with more authority recently. Bonifacio drilled a big-time triple in Thursday's game to help KC take home a win, and it made his fourth extra-base […]

Hunter Dozier Smacks A Pair Of Hits

Kansas City Royals rookie first baseman Hunter Dozier has spent far more time slumping than hitting this season, and his pair of knocks on Thursday will hopefully pull him out of yet another dry spell. Coming into Thursday's game, Dozier was hitless in his last 14 at-bats, but he got the job done to help […]

Brandon Maurer Still Has Value?

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brandon Maurer has been on quite the run recently. After throwing a shutout inning against the Blue Jays on Thursday, Maurer has now thrown clean innings in seven of his last eight appearances. Dating back to July 28, Maurer has eight innings pitched while only allowing five hits and one […]

Glenn Sparkman Serviceable In First Start

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman got his chance on Thursday, and he looked fine over the course of the four innings he pitched. Sparkman allowed two earned runs and struck out three while facing 17 batters, but he wasn't given credit for the team's win since he didn't go five innings. There's nothing […]

Lucas Duda Goes Yard

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda has been quite the bust this season, but he did hit his 11th homer of the year on Thursday. Duda's in the midst of a disappointing hot streak as of late. He's hit safely in eight of his last nine games, but somehow he's only hit .265 during […]

Wade Davis Locks Down 33rd Save

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis has been nothing if not exciting this season, but he continued to steam towards an overall successful season by racking up his 33rd save of the year on Thursday. Davis has been a roller coaster in 2018, regularly mixing meltdowns in with his successful saves, but in the long run, […]

Jon Gray Saddled With No-Decision Thursday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray continued his redemption tour with another quality start on Thursday, but he wasn't able to get the win.

Ryan McMahon Leads Comeback Effort

Seung Hwan Oh Vultures Win In Atlanta

Colorado Rockies reliever Seung Hwan Oh has gotten back into his groove, and Thursday's scoreless eighth inning ended up landing him a surprise win.

David Dahl Comes Up Big For Colorado

Handed the start in center field on Thursday, Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl ended up being the deciding factor for the team. Dahl was given the spot to let Charlie Blackmon take an extra day of rest as he tries to work his way out of a prolonged slump, and Dahl came through with the […]

Nolan Arenado Plays Through Pain

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado returned to the hot corner on Thursday night, playing his way through the sore shoulder that had kept him off the field for a week. Arenado had served some DH duty and felt comfortable swinging, but Thursday's return on the defensive side of the ball was a big step. […]

Wily Peralta Locks Down Seventh Save

Kansas City Royals closer Wily Peralta looked sharp again as he finished off his seventh save of the season on Monday night. It was Peralta's first save in the month of August due to poor team play, but he worked around a walk without an issue to take care of business. Peralta was roughed up […]
