Renteria also added […]

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a walk in a win over the Rangers Tuesday.

Renato Nunez Hits Sixth Home Run Of Season Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles first/third baseman Renato Nunez had an encouraging day at the plate in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays. Nunez went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run (his sixth of the season) and two strikeouts. The HR was nice to see, as Nunez has been relatively slumping lately, batting .258 with a […]

Tommy Milone Takes Loss Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tommy Milone fell to 1-4 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays. Milone didn't pitch all that poorly, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits (including two home runs) and a walk with six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings.

Kyle Gibson Bitten By The Long Ball

In a 10-3 loss to the Oakland A's, Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson gave up a couple of two-run home runs in the fourth and fifth innings to unravel his night. In 6 1/3 innings, Gibson allowed seven earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six Oakland batters. Both home […]

Marco Gonzales Earns Third Win Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales gave up three runs on nine hits through five innings in Tuesday's victory over the Padres. Gonzales has been surprisingly consistent at starting pitcher this season. He doesn't offer much win potential playing for the Mariners, but Gonzales has three quality starts through his first six starts and hasn't […]

Chris Mazza To Start Thursday Against Blue Jays

Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Mazza is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Blue Jays in the series finale.

Jose Quintana Allows Three Run In Relief

Walks have been an issue for Chatwood during his […]

Willson Contreras Goes Yard On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras went 1-for-4 with a home run on Tuesday versus the Tigers. Contreras was the only offense for the Cubs. The All-Star catcher has struggled this season and is now hitting .216 with three home runs and 10 RBI. He makes for a good buy low candidate with owners likely frustrated […]
