Dominic Smith Doubles Twice Monday

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith went 2-for-4 with two doubles against the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday, and he may well have been robbed of another one by first baseman Pavin Smith, who saved at least one run with a diving stop in the top of the third inning. It was Smith's second game with two […]

Jonathan Villar Steals Sixth Base

New York Mets third baseman Jonathan Villar stole his team-leading sixth base of the year Monday. He was also picked off first base. Villar went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in the contest.

Texans Sign Rex Burkhead

The Houston Texans signed former New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday.

Texans general manager […]
