Corey Kluber Fails To Make It To Fifth Inning

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber didn't have his best stuff in Wednesday's no-decision against the Rangers.

Elvis Andrus Posts Another Hitless Game In Loss To Mariners

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. Andrus had a six-game hit streak recently to raise his batting average to .241, but that's the extent of the positives for the veteran shortstop. Andrus' on-base percentage is an anemic .289 as he's found himself buried at the bottom […]

Nick Gordon Doubles, Steals Base Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon collected a double, a stolen base, and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. Gordon ripped a 97.9 MPH double, stole second base, and then scored on a sacrifice fly. The 25-year-old hasn't seen everyday playing time, but perhaps he should, as he's batting .326 with four runs […]

Ozzie Albies Sets New Career High

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies made history for himself during Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went 1-for-4 with a home run and 3 RBI in the 9-2 on Wednesday.

Sean Murphy Collects Hit In Rare Start

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy went 1-for-3 in a start versus the Mariners on Wednesday. The sophomore backstop came into the season as the A's starter, but Oakland traded for Yan Gomes at the trade deadline and Murphy has seen his playing time evaporate. For most of August, Gomes and Murphy were splitting catcher reps […]

Freddie Freeman Make An Impact On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is red-hot at the plate right now, which is good with the playoffs right around the corner. On Wednesday, Freeman went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, and two RBI in the 9-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Braves offense had no issues here and made easy […]

Ian Anderson Throws Gem Versus Diamondbacks

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was locked in during Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went seven innings, two hits allowed, one earned run, one walk, and eight strikeouts in the 9-2 win. To be fair, the Diamondbacks don't have much firepower on offense, but Anderson made easy work of them. Anderson will […]

Max Kepler Belts A Pair Of Homers Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, two homers, a double, and three RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs.

Alex Colome Struggles But Picks Up 15th Save

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome barely managed to pick up his 15th save of the season Wednesday against the Cubs.

The veteran reliever yielded a walk, RBI groundout, and another single before bearing down to get the third out via a […]

Jose Alvarado Throws Two Pitches, Earns Win Versus O's

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado only faced one batter on Wednesday versus the Orioles, but he still earned the victory despite throwing just two pitches.

Cole Irvin Allows Three Runs In Loss To Mariners

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin allowed three runs across five innings to take the loss on Wednesday versus Seattle. Irvin was not effective in this one as he allowed seven hits and three walks while only picking up three strikeouts. The left-hander has his moments this season, but he's not much of a fantasy […]

Joe Ryan Strikes Out Career-High 11 Batters In Win

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan put together one of the most impressive performances of his young career in Wednesday's win over the Cubs. Ryan pitched five innings, allowing just two runs on three hits with one walk issued. The right-hander struck out a career-high 11 batters, generating 13 whiffs, with 10 of them coming […]

Zack Wheeler Strikes Out Nine In No-Decision Versus O's

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler allowed one run across six innings while picking up nine strikeouts versus the Orioles on Wednesday.
