According to Phillies manager Rob […]

Ha-Seong Kim Not In Saturday's Lineup

Before that, Bethancourt was alternating […]

Harper appeared to be in considerable pain, but was able to stay in the game to […]

Tigers Throw Combined No-Hitter

The Detroit Tigers have made history versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Right-hander Matt Manning did most of the heavy lifting. He went 6 2/3 hitless innings before being relieved at 91 pitches. It was hard to imagine him going the distance with his pitch count already that high. Reliever Jason Foley came on […]

Jordan Hicks Fires Scoreless Inning

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks was called upon to hold a three-run lead versus the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. The right-hander allowed two one-out singles, but settled down after that. He struck out Jake Burger before getting Gavin Sheets to line out to end the contest. The hard-throwing righty earned his seventh […]
