Andrew McCutchen Continues Abysmal Stretch

Arriving in New York to aid the outfield, Yankees outfielder Andrew McCutchen has struggled immensely with his new club. The former N.L.

Greg Bird Breaks Up No-Hitter

The New York Yankees offense did not show up in Wednesday night's series finale against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

Luis Severino Has Best Start In Months

For the first time in a long time, New York Yankees ace Luis Severino seemed to be his old self Wednesday night in Minnesota.

J.P. Crawford The Only Bright Spot For Phillies

With Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera starting at third and Scott Kingery having the night off, shortstop J.P. Crawford enjoyed a rare start at shortstop.

Odubel Herrera Goes Hitless Yet Again

Alongside the rest of the Philadelphia Phillies offense, outfielder Odubel Herrera has fallen on seriously hard times as the club's playoff hopes die out.

Aaron Nola's Home Run Woes Continue In Loss

While Philadelphia Phillies ace Aaron Nola continues to be one of the leading candidates to win the NL Cy Young Award this season, he, alongside the rest of his teammates, is slumping this month.

Sonny Gray Takes Loss In Return To Rotation

Perhaps with an eye toward the American League wild-card game, the New York Yankees re-inserted Sonny Gray into the starting rotation in a possible attempt to line up their rotation just right for three weeks from now.

Once again facing lowly opposition, Philadelphia Phillies starter Aaron Nola recorded his first win in three starts by defeating the New York Mets Friday night at Citi Field.

Gary Sanchez Hits Home Run In Abysmal Performance

Alongside New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino, catcher Gary Sanchez had himself an atrocious series finale against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.

Luis Severino Rocked In Ugly Loss

New York Yankees starter Luis Severino went to the mound Wednesday night with a chance to pick up his 18th win of the season against the Oakland Athletics.

Nick Pivetta Only Goes Four Innings, Takes Loss

The Philadelphia Phillies opted for a pinch-hitter over starter Nick Pivetta in the fifth inning of Wednesday night's game in Miami, but it was to no avail.

Adeiny Hechavarria Smacks First Home Run With Yankees

Seeing regular action since arriving with the New York Yankees at the beginning of this month, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria entered Tuesday night's game as a defensive substitution.

Luke Voit Becoming Quite The Clutch Hitter

There is no longer a discussion about the starting first baseman for the New York Yankees.

J.A. Happ Brilliant In Oakland No-Decision

Carlos Santana Drills Leadoff Home Run In Victory

Philadelphia Phillies starter Jake Arrieta benefitted from early run support Tuesday night en route to a victory over the Miami Marlins.

J.A. Happ Has Worst Outing With Yankees
