He would collect three hits and be involved in three straight Chicago runs. He drove in the third Cubs run, then came around to score the fourth, followed by driving in the […]

Daniel Murphy Ambushes Another Ace Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Murphy is making a habit of getting things started. Much like he did when the team needed him against Aaron Nola, Murphy would turn around a pitch for a homer to jumpstart his team when they were getting dominated by the other team's ace. It was his 10th HR overall this […]

Pedro Strop Earns 12th Save

Chicago Cubs reliever Pedro Strop allowed some drama but finished the job Wednesday versus the Brewers.

Tyler Glasnow Destroyed Wednesday Versus Toronto

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow had a very rough outing Tuesday versus the Blue Jays. He would only record two outs while being credited with seven runs allowed.

Kyle Schwarber Day-To-Day

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) left the game early on Wednesday with a back issue after sliding into third base, according to manager Joe Maddon.

Ryan Zimmerman Fills Stat Sheet Wednesday

Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman had a great day against St. Louis on Wednesday. Zimmerman went 2-for-5, scored two runs and drove in three.

Tanner Roark Hit Hard Wednesday

Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark had a rough outing Wednesday against the Cardinals. In five innings, Roark gave up six runs on 10 hits and ended up with the loss.

Luis Severino Rocked In Ugly Loss

New York Yankees starter Luis Severino went to the mound Wednesday night with a chance to pick up his 18th win of the season against the Oakland Athletics.

Max Muncy Hits Home Run Wednesday, But Still Slumping

Michael Wacha To Make Rehab Start Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha (oblique) will start for Triple-A Memphis on Friday, and he'll be aiming for the 40-45 pitch range.
