Tyler Anderson Solid Against Astros

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Tyler Anderson delivered another solid outing Sunday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk to the Houston Astros in 5 1/3 innings.

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager homered again Sunday, the fourth time he's done so in his last seven games. It was his only knock in five at-bats against the Astros, but it came at a big moment, giving the team a 6-2 lead in the top of the 11th. He now has a seven-game […]

Gregory Polanco Placed On Waivers

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Gregory Polanco on outright waivers Sunday, according to Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic.
