Brad Keller Victimized By Poor Offense

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller hasn't been lights-out this season, but he took another loss on a quality start on Sunday because his offense let him down. Keller allowed three earned runs in the start on Sunday, and that's been the magic number for him this season. So far, Keller has allowed three […]

Cheslor Cuthbert Continues To Hit Well

Since being called up three days ago, Kansas City Royals third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert has done a fine job of filling in for breakout star Hunter Dozier, who is sidelined with a pulled chest muscle. Cuthbert has hit safely in all three games, including a 3-for-4 day on Sunday and a solo shot on Friday. […]

Antonio Senzatela Pitches Well Against Toronto

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela put in another solid performance on Sunday as he shut down the Blue Jays for the series sweep. Senzatela went six innings while only allowing one earned run and four hits. The run and half the hits came in the first inning, when Senzatela worked out of an early […]

Nolan Arenado Teased For Home Run

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is playing so well that his teammates even make fun of some of his home runs. Arenado drilled his 16th of the season on Sunday, but the 432-foot blast came one inning after Chris Iannetta hit one 476 feet, so his teammates provided a polite golf clap and proceeded […]

Chris Iannetta Hits Bomb For 5th Homer

Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta isn't having a spectacular season by any measurement, but at least he made his way on to a leaderboard. Iannetta took a 2-2 pitch to one of the furthest places the Rockies have ever seen. Iannetta's tape measure home run smacked off the bricks at the very back of the […]

Robbie Ray Faces Tough Matchup on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray will be tested on Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ray had a mediocre outing against Los Angeles earlier in the season, allowing three runs in five innings to go along with nine strikeouts.

Eduardo Escobar Homers Again on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar had another productive day at the plate on Sunday in a win over the New York Mets. Escobar went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored. The home run was his 15th of the season and came off starting pitcher Steven Matz in the first […]

Steven Matz Takes the Loss Sunday

New York Mets left-hander Steven Matz failed to throw a quality start on Sunday in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Matz went six innings, allowing five runs on eight hits to go along with five strikeouts. The southpaw was touched up for three runs in the first inning, two on home runs, and the […]

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI on Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk. With the strong performance, Mountcastle is now hitting .328 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI. Mountcastle recently missed a few games with a wrist injury, but that didn’t appear to bother him Sunday. The […]

Aaron Sanchez Ineffective In Loss To Rockies

Toronto Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez allowed four runs on seven hits through six innings of work during Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies. The 26-year-old struck out three and walked two. Sanchez owns a 3-6 record to go along with a 3.95 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 58/36 K/BB rate. Inconsistency has been his […]

Freddie Freeman Batting .310 Since Start Of May

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 1-for-4 with an RBI during a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Freeman is enjoying another solid season as evidenced by his .305/.391/.562 slash line, 14 home runs, and 35 RBI. The 29-year-old is one of the most consistent bats in the National League and has […]

Julio Teheran Has 0.84 ERA Since Start Of May

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran surrendered four hits and no runs through five innings of work during a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Teheran struck out six batters while walking three. The 28-year-old right-hander now owns a 3-4 record on the season to go along with a 3.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and […]

Dansby Swanson Smacks Another Home Run On Sunday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and three RBI during a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night. The 25-year-old is slashing .264/.320/.495 this season with 12 HRs, 41 RBI, and five stolen bases. The former first-overall pick is on pace to smash all of his […]

JaCoby Jones Stays Hot, Launches Sixth Homer

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones continued his recent tear at the dish on Sunday, belting his sixth home run of the season as the Tigers fell to the Braves. While Jones' primary fantasy asset has been his speed in the past, the 27-year-old outfielder has been raking over the last two weeks to the tune […]

Christin Stewart Homers In Big Game Sunday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart launched his fourth home run of the year as part of a three-hit effort against the Braves on Sunday. The young slugger has shown monstrous power at times, but has lacked consistency thus far. He's slashing .241/.325/.429 in 38 games this season and seems likely to eventually develop into a […]
