Carlos Rodon Throws Another Gem
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon continued his strong season Friday versus the Kansas City Royals. The lefty went six innings and allowed five hits, no runs, no walks and recorded eight strikeouts. The veteran has been lights out this year and more importantly has been healthy so far. Rodon now owns a shiny […]

Kyle Lewis Has A Three-Hit Day
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis moved up to the second spot in the lineup Friday, and it appears the change agreed with him. Lewis went 3-for-5 with a double, good for only his second multi-hit game of the year. He has now lifted his OPS to .689 on the year, so it seems he's slowly […]

Chris Flexen Allows Four Runs
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen allowed four runs to the Texas Rangers Saturday. All four runs came in the first three innings, before Flexen managed to settle down. All told, he allowed four runs on ten hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings, while striking out two. The big blow came on a […]

DJ LeMahieu Belts Two Homers Friday
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's loss to the Nationals.

The […]

Kendall Graveman Locks Down Fourth Save
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman locked down his fourth save of the year Friday, securing the win against the Texas Rangers.

Zach Plesac Goes Eight Scoreless Against Reds
Cleveland Indians starter Zach Plesac looked superb against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday in Cleveland during the club's 3-0 loss.

Will Harris Allows One Run In Second Appearance
Washington Nationals reliever Will Harris (hand inflammation) allowed one run in just his second outing of the season during the club's 11-4 victory over the New York Yankees.

Patrick Corbin Allows Three Runs Against Yankees
Washington Nationals starter Patrick Corbin turned in a mediocre performance Friday in the Nationals' 11-3 win against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. The southpaw allowed three earned runs on only four hits with zero walks. Unsurprisingly, the long ball was the issue yet again for Corbin. Three solo homers -- one to Gary […]

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White is in the lineup Friday, batting in the eighth spot. White has struggled mightily to start the year, slashing .141/.202/.205.
