Raisel Iglesias Posting 12.46 Strikeout Rate

Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias has struck out 24 hitters through his first 17 1/3 innings pitched this season.

Spencer Turnbull Follows Up No-No With Quality Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull had a solid outing against the Cleveland Indians on Monday.

Andrew Heaney To Start Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney will take the mound Tuesday to open up a series against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.

But the big left-handed starter […]
