George Springer and Friends Give Harvey Another Dark Night

With the Astros already leading the Los Angeles Angels two to zero in the second inning, George Springer kicked off the runs parade against Angels starter Matt Harvey, hitting a 368-foot round-tripper to the opposite field on a center-cut Harvey fastball. Harvey would later leave the game after giving up six runs in five innings […]

Wade Miley Continues Renaissance Against Angels on Thursday Night

Wade Miley continues to be an effective pitcher and the Houston Astros continue to add to the mythology of their player development department. On Thursday night, Miley no-hit the Los Angeles Angels until Brian Goodwin broke up the 32-year-old's bid for a no-no with a two-out double in the bottom of the fifth inning. Miley […]

Merrill Kelly Shines in Diamondbacks Loss

Despite the team's loss on Thursday night, Arizona Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly put together his best start in five weeks against the Milwaukee Brewers. Kelly allowed one run on three hits with six strikeouts over seven innings against Milwaukee, and did not factor into the decision. Kelly has had an up-and-down season to say the […]

Cincinnati Reds Quickly Running Out of Bad Catchers

Cincinnati officially has a catcher emergency on their hands, with injuries to Curt Casali and Kyle Farmer forcing them to join the already injured Tucker Barnhart on the IR.

Losers of their last three games and down 3 - 1 in the sixth inning, the Minnesota Twins needed a spark to get their sputtering offense back on track.

Stephen Strasburg Strikes Out Seven, Drives in Five.

Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg had a fine night against Atlanta on Thursday, striking out seven Braves on his way to picking up his twelfth victory of the year. But the 30-year-old Strasburg saved the best for his bat, going three for three at the dish while scoring two runs and driving in five. After leading […]

Nathan Eovaldi Breezes Through Rehab Appearance, Set to Return Over Weekend

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi made his first and only rehab appearance on Thursday, pitching a scoreless inning for Boston's Triple-A Pawtucket affiliate, throwing 11 of his 19 pitches for strikes while walking one and striking out three. Eovaldi is expected to return to the Red Sox during their weekend series with the Orioles. […]

Jordan Luplow Has a Strong Game on Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Jordan Luplow had a strong offensive game on Thursday, going 2-for-3 with a home run. He drove in two runs and drove in two as well. Luplow's home run came with a runner on base in the first inning. Luplow's been a bit up-and-down this season, but he's posted a .263/.335/.513 slash […]

Jose Ramirez Drives in Three on Thursday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez drove in three runs on Thursday, going 1-for-4 with a run scored. Ramirez hit a two-run shot in the sixth inning off of Matthew Boyd. He's been the Jose Ramirez his fantasy owners expected when they drafted him lately, but a very slow start has his slash line still at […]

Brad Hand Picks Up Save 26 on Thursday

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand earned his 26th save on Thursday, tossing 1 1/3 innings while allowing one hit and striking out four. Hand came into the eighth inning and got the last out then made quick work of the Tigers in the ninth inning as well. Hand struggled a bit in the All-Star Game […]

Trevor Bauer Strikes Out 10 Tigers on Thursday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer pitched well on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out 10 while throwing 120 pitches and allowing two home runs. The effort was enough for Bauer to improve to 9-7 and bring his ERA to 3.67. Bauer should continue […]

Paul DeJong Drives in Three Runs on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong did well on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. DeJong hit his 14th homer and added a single. He's been alternating between hot streaks and cold streaks, averaging out to a .251/.333/.432 slash line so far. He needs to be started whenever he's hot, and […]

Tommy Edman Blasts a Grand Slam on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Tommy Edman hit a grand slam on Thursday, going 1-for-5 with a run scored and four RBI. Edman's slam came in the sixth inning off of Robert Stephenson. Edman has come out of nowhere to post a .254/.284/.493 batting line, which was much more impressive before a recent cold stretch.

Andrew Miller Picks Up a Save on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Andrew Miller picked up his second save of the season on Thursday, pitching a scoreless ninth inning while allowing a hit and striking out a batter. Carlos Martinez had worked a lot in the past few games so Miller took the ninth inning and delivered a 7-4 victory for the […]

Mookie Betts Scores Run In 13th Straight Game

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, a walk, and a solo home run on Thursday against the Blue Jays. He's now scored a run in 13 straight games, marking the first Red Sox player to do so in a single season since Ted Williams did it in 1946. […]

Dakota Hudson Only Gets Through Five Innings on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson could only muster five innings on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks. He struck out three, allowed a home run, and earned his ninth win of the season. Hudson will head into his next start with a 9-4 record and a 3.57 ERA. He's […]

Chris Sale Dismantles Blue Jays

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale didn't allow run over six innings, while striking out 12 and walking two in a 5-0 win over Toronto on Thursday. Sale was his filthy old self, generating 20 swinging strikes in 101 pitches, which led to his first double digit strikeout start since June 26. The southpaw […]

Yoan Moncada Smacks 17th Bomb

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in a 5-6 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Moncada is having a breakout year at the plate, slashing .303/.361/.529 while chipping in 17 home runs, 50 RBI, and 52 runs scored over 333 at-bats in […]

Caleb Smith Posts Solid Start On Thursday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith threw five innings, gave up two earned runs on five hits, and struck out seven while walking two on Thursday afternoon. Smith was actually in line for the win, but the Miami bullpen blew the lead en route to a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres. Smith holds […]

Wilson Ramos Not In Lineup Thursday Night

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos is absent from the starting lineup for Thursday night's tilt against the San Francisco Giants. This move is presumably due to starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard's preference to have Tomas Nido behind the plate defensively. Ramos hasn't had a great 2019 season, though he remains a back-end starting catcher in […]

Cheslor Cuthbert Launches Sixth Homer

Kansas City Royals infielder Cheslor Cuthbert ripped his sixth home run of the season into the left-center seats on Thursday afternoon, getting the scoring started for the Royals. Cuthbert's blast continued his trend of hitting more balls out of the park even though he's hitting more grounders than ever. Cuthbert's previous career-high of 12 home […]

Brad Keller Snags Sixth Win

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller cruised to his sixth win of the season on Thursday when he went 6 1/3 innings and allowed two earned runs. Though two unearned ones scored after a Cheslor Cuthbert error in the first inning, Keller settled down and only allowed seven more hits over his next 5 […]

Giovanny Urshela Drives In Three In Win

While the New York Yankees have slowly gotten healthy, Giovanny Urshela continues to be a major contributor. Starting at third base in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader, he recorded three hits, including a game-tying two-run home run and an RBI double in the fifth. While the 27-year-old hasn't been producing at the pace he […]
