Justin Verlander to Start Game 4 on Short Rest

The Rays took game three from the Astros, hitting four home runs and giving Zack Greinke a bad day. Justin Verlander is pitching on three days rest, so they obviously see the Rays as a real threat here. As Verlander explained in his press conference, you don't want to mess around and let a team […]

Gerrit Cole Strikes Out 15 in 7.2 Innings

The best pitcher in baseball dominated the Tampa Bay Rays tonight at home, striking out at least one batter in every inning and allowing just four hits. He struck out Ji-Man Choi and Brandon Lowe three times a piece, with D'Arnaud, Diaz, and Garcia each K'ing twice. Cole took the K/9 regular-season record away from […]

Martin Maldonado Singles Home a Run, Gives Astros 2-0 Lead

Maldonado gives Gerrit Cole and the Astros an insurance run in the seventh inning, poking a single to left field to drive in Yuli Gurriel. Gurriel reached on an error by shortstop Willy Adames and got to third base on a double by Carlos Correa. An unforced error like that is something you can't afford […]

Alex Bregman Gives Astros 1-0 Lead With Fourth Inning Solo Shot

Gerrit Cole and Blake Snell were dueling in a scoreless bout before Alex Bregman took Snell deep in the fourth. Diego Casilla relieved Snell, and pitched a clean inning and a third before handing it over to Ryan Yarbrough. This one run may be enough if Gerrit Cole keeps the ball rolling, as he’s currently […]

Masahiro Tanaka and Didi Gregorius Lead Yankees to Game Two Victory

The Yankees downed the Twins 8-2 on the backs of Masahiro Tanaka and Didi Gregorius. Tanaka pitched five relatively clean innings before handing the ball over to the dominant Yankees bullpen. Tommy Kahnle, Adam Ottavino, Tyler Lyons, and Jonathan Loaisiga, in that order, took an inning each and held the Twins to just two runs […]

Aaron Judge Reaches Base Four Times in Game 2 Win

It was a phenomenal day at the plate for Judge, who went 2-for-3 and walked twice. His only out came on a line drive to Max Kepler, so he's seeing the ball as well as he has all season long. He's not only hitting the ball hard, but he's taking close balls and didn't chase […]

Randy Dobnak Allows Four Runs Over Two Innings

The Yankees put a smacking on Dobnak early and the fans piled on. LeMahieu started the game off with a double and Encarnacion drove him in later that inning. The real damage came in the third inning, when Dobnak couldn't get a single out and ended up leaving the bases loaded for Tyler Duffey, who […]

Didi Gregorius Gives Yankees 7-0 Lead With Grand Slam

The Yankees were already up 3-0 and Didi put the kill shot in the Twins with a Grand Slam into the right-field short porch. He posed quite the celebration, taking his time to watch the homer and his teammates' reactions. Didi has struggled a bit of late, and was hitting eighth in this game. He […]

Masahiro Tanaka Allows One Run Through Five Innings

Tanaka got the job done, holding the Twins to just one run while the Yankees pummeled Randy Dobnak and co. for eight early runs. Tanaka struck out seven, including Miguel Sano and Luis Arraez twice. Tanaka left the bullpen in a perfect position to put the Yankees up 2-0 in the series. He’ll take the […]

Max Fried Strikes Out Two in Hold over the Cardinals, Ties Series Up at 1-1

Max Fried was relied on to hold the game together between Mike Foltynewicz and Mark Melancon. He did a great job, striking out two and giving up just one hit. Fried is a starting pitcher, but this is playoff time and every game is extremely important. The Braves used some valuable assets, but they paid […]

Mark Melancon Saves 3-0 Win Over the Cardinals

It looked like the Cardinals had something going in the ninth with Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna on first and second with just one out. Mark Melancon then decided to go into shutdown mode, striking out Yadier Molina and Kolten Wong to give the Braves the win. It closed off a shutout for the Braves, […]

Kolten Wong Goes 0-for-4 With Three Strikeouts and Five Left-On-Base in Loss

Wong had a couple of chances to flip this game upside down but never came through. He instead gave us a strikeout hat trick and never reached base, nor moved over any valuable runners-on-base. Mike Foltynewicz has these guys numbers, and a lot of it had to do with his slider working so well. It […]

Jack Flaherty Goes Seven Strong Innings in 3-0 Loss to Braves

Flaherty was strong, but the Cardinals were never able to get anything going on offense. Flaherty finished the night with three earned runs through six innings while striking out eight. You can’t ask for much more on the road out of a young arm that doesn’t have playoff experience. Flaherty continues to show his maturity […]

A.J. Pollock Goes 0-for-4 With Three Strikeouts, Leaving Two On-Base in Game Two Loss

Pollock was terrible tonight. Especially for a guy that’s in the middle of the order to make contact and move the runners over. He couldn’t do anything against Strasburg, finishing the night 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and a few runners stranded. They’ll need Pollock to be his consistent-self if the Dodgers want any chance of […]

Cody Bellinger Goes 0-for-4 With Two Strikeouts in Loss to Nationals

It wasn’t the prettiest game for Cody Bellinger, who left three guys on-base and didn’t have a single productive at-bat on the night. Strasburg struck him out early in the game, and looked to have his number throughout. Bellinger will look to bounce-back Sunday night in a tough match-up with Max Scherzer. Make sure to […]

Max Scherzer Pitches Scoreless Eighth Inning and Strikes Out the Side

Scherzer was needed for a relief appearance in the eighth inning, and he came through with three strikeouts in 14 pitches. He looked as good as ever, and this Dodgers team will have trouble if he comes out like that next start. The Strasburg-Scherzer combo came up huge in game two and we may see […]

Nationals Tie up Series With 4-2 Win, Beat Kershaw in Los Angeles

The Nationals regain home-field advantage, with two of the remaining three games being played in Washington D.C. They got the lead early and never surrendered it, eventually winning 4-2. They were able to mark up Kershaw for three early runs and it was 3-0 before the first two innings concluded. Strasburg went six innings allowing […]

Anthony Rendon Reaches Base Three Times and Drives in a Run

Rendon showed us why he’s one of the best hitters in the league, belting a double against Clayton Kershaw to give the Nats a 3-0 lead in the second inning. He walked in the first inning as well, allowing the Nats to stretch out the inning and score a run on the Howie Kendrick single. […]

Tyler Glasnow Goes 4.1 Innings and Allows Two Earned Runs in Loss to Houston

This stat line doesn’t look great, but Glasgow was phenomenal in this one. Jose Altuve caught up to a fastball in the fifth inning, and it gave the Astros a 2-0 lead. Prior to that mistake, Glasnow struck out five and had the ‘Stros best hitters frozen in their tracks watching his fastball glide past […]

Daniel Hudson Picks Up the Save In Series-Tying Game Two Win

It wasn’t a stress-free ninth-inning, as the game ended with the bases loaded and Corey Seager whiffing at a ball out of the strike zone. Hudson gave up a double to Justin Turner to open the inning, before striking out A.J. Pollock and getting Cody Bellinger to pop out. Max Muncy was then intentionally walked, […]

Adam Duvall Pinch-Hit Homers in Seventh to Give Braves 3-0 Lead

Duvall connected on a 3-2 fastball against Jack Flaherty in the seventh inning to drive in Brian McCann. Duvall lit a spark under a Braves squad that was up just 1-0 prior, struggling to get anything going at the plate. He came in as a pinch-hitter for Mike Foltynewicz, who threw a gem. The Braves […]

Stephen Strasburg Leads the Nationals to a Game Two Win

Strasburg struck out 10 over six innings and got the win. His only blunder came in the sixth inning when Joc Pederson doubled Beaty to third base, who was driven in by a Justin Turner sacrifice fly. The Dodgers otherwise struggled, with multiple batters striking out twice. Strasburg won the starting pitching battle over Kershaw, […]

Corey Seager Strikes Out In the Ninth Inning With Bases Loaded

It was a miserable night for Corey Seager, who went 0-for-4 and struck out three times. With the Dodgers down 4-2, he came up to bat in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and two outs. He chased a slider and struck out, finishing his hat trick. Daniel Hudson was able to close the […]

Mike Foltynewicz Dominates Cardinals to Even Series at 1-1

Foltynewicz threw seven shutout innings, gave up just three hits, and struck out seven batters. The Cardinals didn't have an answer for his slider, striking out four of seven with his putout sweeper. He regains the trust of this Braves team after struggling a bit to end this season. The series is null and void […]
