Blake Snell No-Hits Snakes For Seven Frames

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell was pulled after seven no-hit innings Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Zac Gallen Throws Quality Start In Loss

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen threw a quality start against the San Diego Padres Tuesday night, giving up three runs on five hits and four walks in six innings.

Nathaniel Lowe Goes Deep Versus Rockies

Charlie Morton Pitches Excellent Against Dodgers

Johnny Cueto Hit Hard Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto did not fare well in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

He pitched 3 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on […]
