Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb allowed two runs on four hits across seven innings of work during a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon. He struck out two batters while walking two. The 25-year-old was in line for the victory, but Arodys Vizcaino vultured the win after blowing a save opportunity. Newcomb […]

Eric Thames Continues To Struggle

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies gave up two unearned runs on five hits and two walks in Sunday's win against the Cubs. The good news is that Davies didn't give up any earned runs, the bad news is that he only struck out one batter through 5 2/3 innings. Davies is a decent option […]

Ivan Nova Struggles Versus Mariners

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ivan Nova got beat up by the Seattle Mariners offense on Sunday. Nova only lasted 2 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits, seven runs, one walk and struck out two. Nova should only be used as a streamer and will face a tough Yankees offense in his next start.
