Gleyber Torres Powers Yankees To Sweep

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres went 3-for-4 a home run, two doubles and three runs scored in the Yankees 5-1 series-clinching win over the Twins. The Twins simply could not get the 22-year-old phenom out and Torres got the Yankees on the board with his first postseason home run. Torres finishes the series […]

Nationals Beat Dodgers 6-1, Force Game 5 in Los Angeles

The Dodgers opened up the scoring with a first-inning home run off the bat of Justin Turner. What they didn’t know at the time was that they wouldn’t score another run all night. The Nationals put up six runs, led by a Ryan Zimmerman three-run home run and Anthony Rendon’s three-RBI’s. They’ll now head to […]

Anthony Rendon Drives In Three Runs In Game 4 Win

Rendon got two sacrificed flies up and an RBI single, finishing with three RBI’s on the night. It’s no surprise, as he’s been one of the best hitters in baseball all season long (.406 wOBA). The Nationals got a 6-1 win in game 4 and will now face Walker Buehler on the road in Los […]

Cardinals Bullpen Comes Up Huge in Game 4

After Dakota Hudson and poor fielding allowed four runs through the first four innings, the Cardinals bullpen came in and shut down the remaining 5.1 innings, allowing just three hits and striking out eight. They gave the Cardinals a chance to come back and we’re now headed to a game 5 in Atlanta.

Max Scherzer Goes 7 Innings, Allows One Run in Game 4 Win

After a first-inning home run allowed to Justin Turner, Max Scherzer settled down and pitched a near-perfect six innings. He struck out seven, and left the game with a 6-1 lead. The Nationals stepped up to the plate and have Scherzer some substantial run support. The Nationals and Dodgers will face off in a series-deciding […]

Ronald Acuna Goes 4-for-5 With Double And Triple In Loss

Acuna did everything he could to close this series out for the Braves, but the supporting cast couldn’t give him enough help. His feud with Carlos Martinez continued being one-sided, with Martinez doubling off of him in the ninth. Unfortunately for Acuna and the Braves, his valiant efforts weren’t enough and the Cardinals snatched a […]

Gleyber Torres Gives Yankees 1-0 Lead With a Home Run

Jake Odorizzi looked great, striking out three of the first four batters. That was before Gleyber Torres connected and sent a 378-foot missile to the left-field seats. Both Severino and Odorizzi look to be on their game, so every run may be valuable as the Yankees go for the 3-0 sweep. Torres has a hit […]

Freddie Freeman Goes 0-for-5 with 3 K’s in Loss

It was a miserable day at the plate for one of the best hitters in baseball. Besides the three strikeouts, he spent his other two at-bats grounding into a double-play and making the 2nd out in the 9th inning with Acuna on second base. Facing off with Dakota Hudson, who’s struggled with lefties, you’d expect […]

Rich Hill Goes 2.2 Innings In Game 4 Loss

Hill was never going to pitch more than 70 or 80 pitches, but the Dodgers certainly wanted more than two and two thirds out of him. He walked four batters and allowed a run. Dave Roberts didn’t have much of a choice but to pull him with Scherzer on the opposite side and the bases […]

Paul Goldschmidt Opens Up Game 4 with First Inning Home Run, Goes 3-for-4

Goldy was an assassin at the plate today, going 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored. He opened up the scoring with a home run off of Dallas Keuchel in the first inning, and was followed by Marcell Ozuna for back-to-back jacks. Goldschmidt has been one of the best hitters in baseball against lefties […]

Marcell Ozuna Homers Twice in Game 4 Win

Ozuna kept the Cardinals alive with 2 bombs against Dallas Keuchel. Ozuna struggled this season against lefties, but has historically smashed them with a .362 wOBA. Dallas Keuchel has struggled this season against righties and he lasted just 3.1 innings while giving up three runs. The Cardinals and Braves head to Atlanta to face-off in […]

Yandy Diaz Exits Early With Sore Foot

Kevin Cash said after the game that Diaz was "fine", and removing him from the game was more precautionary than anything. He should be in there next game against Justin Verlander, who will be pitching on short rest Wednesday night. Matt Duffy filled in nicely, going 2-for-4 and scoring a run.

Justin Turner Homers in First Inning to Open Game 4

Max Scherzer has gotten off to another shaky start, giving up a solo shot to Justin Turner in the first inning. This makes it two games in a row for Turner with a home run, and he's getting hot at the right time. The Nationals are facing elimination and currently facing a 1-0 deficit.

Jose Altuve Homers In Game Three Loss to Rays

Altuve homered in the first inning and looked to be setting the pace for what could have been a sweep. That was quickly taken back when Kevin Kiermaier drove a two-run homer over the centerfield fence just an inning later. This was the second homer for Altuve in this series, and he'll look to triple-down […]

Yadier Molina Walks it Off In the Tenth Inning

Kolten Wong did the hard part, ground-rule doubling down the left-field line to start the inning. The Braves elected to walk Paul Goldschmidt and face Marcell Ozuna. He ended up hitting it back to the pitcher and avoiding a double-play, leaving Ozuna at first and Wong at third. Yadier Molina proceeded to send a first-pitch […]

Willy Adames Keeps Rays Alive With Home run and 3 Hits

Willy Adames was a monster out of the nine-hole today, homering off of Wade Miley in the sixth and doubling off of Greinke in the second. He capped off his three hits with a walk in the fourth that eventually lead to Austin Meadows driving him in. The Rays will have their work cut out […]

Zack Greinke Struggles in Game 3 Loss to Rays

Greinke lasted just 3.2 innings, allowing six earned runs and three homers. Brandon Lowe, Kevin Kiermaier, and Ji-Man Choi all blasted home runs in the first four innings and sent Greinke to the clubhouse the earliest we've seen in months. Greinke was amazing in his last start and has been one of the most consistent […]

Rays Force Game 4 After 10-3 Onslaught of Astros

Zack Greinke and the Astros came into this game favored to beat the Rays and sweep the series. The Rays had other plans, hitting Greinke in the mouth early and often and never letting up. Brandon Lowe, Ji-Man Choi, Kevin Kiermaier, and Willy Adames all connected on home runs. Charlie Morton pitched five one-run innings […]

Justin Verlander to Start Game 4 on Short Rest

The Rays took game three from the Astros, hitting four home runs and giving Zack Greinke a bad day. Justin Verlander is pitching on three days rest, so they obviously see the Rays as a real threat here. As Verlander explained in his press conference, you don't want to mess around and let a team […]

Gerrit Cole Strikes Out 15 in 7.2 Innings

The best pitcher in baseball dominated the Tampa Bay Rays tonight at home, striking out at least one batter in every inning and allowing just four hits. He struck out Ji-Man Choi and Brandon Lowe three times a piece, with D'Arnaud, Diaz, and Garcia each K'ing twice. Cole took the K/9 regular-season record away from […]

Martin Maldonado Singles Home a Run, Gives Astros 2-0 Lead

Maldonado gives Gerrit Cole and the Astros an insurance run in the seventh inning, poking a single to left field to drive in Yuli Gurriel. Gurriel reached on an error by shortstop Willy Adames and got to third base on a double by Carlos Correa. An unforced error like that is something you can't afford […]

Alex Bregman Gives Astros 1-0 Lead With Fourth Inning Solo Shot

Gerrit Cole and Blake Snell were dueling in a scoreless bout before Alex Bregman took Snell deep in the fourth. Diego Casilla relieved Snell, and pitched a clean inning and a third before handing it over to Ryan Yarbrough. This one run may be enough if Gerrit Cole keeps the ball rolling, as he’s currently […]

Masahiro Tanaka and Didi Gregorius Lead Yankees to Game Two Victory

The Yankees downed the Twins 8-2 on the backs of Masahiro Tanaka and Didi Gregorius. Tanaka pitched five relatively clean innings before handing the ball over to the dominant Yankees bullpen. Tommy Kahnle, Adam Ottavino, Tyler Lyons, and Jonathan Loaisiga, in that order, took an inning each and held the Twins to just two runs […]
