Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Liam Hendriks pitched a clean-10th inning and picked up his first win of the season vs the Angels on Sunday.

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in a win over the Angels Sunday. Another hitless day drops Semien's average to an anemic .202 with a .256 on-base percentage. Neither of those numbers are ideal for a leadoff hitter, but manager Bob Melvin has been patient with Semien […]

Austin Hubbard Unable To Grab A Huge Win

Austin Hubbard had a chance to shine on Saturday's main card, but he was unfortunately unable to do so.

Montas allowed four earned runs on seven hits, three walks and struck out five on the afternoon.

Mariya Agapova Shocked On Saturday's Main Card

After running through her two Invicta FC and UFC debut bouts, it looked like the sky was the limit for Mariya Agapova.

Shana Dobson Earns A Huge Knockout Win

Coming in as a massive underdog, Shana Dobson needed a win more than anyone else on the card, and she got it. Dobson completed a nice switch on the ground to take the top position and rained down shots, leading to the TKO victory. Landing a few less than her opponent, Dobson landed 24 significant […]

Dwight Grant Unable To Pull Out The Win

Due to an injury to his opponent, Dwight Grant was given Daniel Rodriguez as a pre-fight day replacement.

Daniel Rodriguez Scores Big Win

Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more opponent changes, and this event proved to be no different.

Rodriguez still went into the Octagon and took […]

Lamar Jackson Misses Practice With Injury

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has missed two straight practices with what head coach John Harbaugh is calling a "soft-tissue injury."

It doesn't appear to be anything major at this point of […]

Taylor Williams Notches Sixth Save Sunday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Taylor Williams pitched a scoreless inning and secured his sixth save in Sunday's win over the Rangers. Williams now has three saves in his last three appearances for the Mariners and looks locked in as the temporary closer.

Shed Long Jr. Continues Struggles On Sunday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. continued his struggles going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Seattle Mariners second baseman and outfielder Sam Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's win over the Rangers. Haggerty had recently been promoted to the majors and has started every game since. The home run is nice, but power is definitely not Haggerty's strong suit. Through 408 games […]

Anthony Rizzo Remains On-Base Savant In 2020

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has always been adept at drawing walks, but through the early part of the 2020 season, he is on pace for a career-best 15.7% BB rate. His .375 on-base percentage through his first 27 games is in line with his career total (.373), but his lack of extra-base power […]

Justin Dunn Throws Gem Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn gave up one hit and one walk through six shutout innings and struck out six batters in Sunday's win over the Rangers. This was the first time this season that Dunn didn't allow a run and the six strikeouts are a season high for him as well. Dunn desperately […]

Tyler Clippard Avoids Serious Injury But Will Miss Time

Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Tyler Clippard was struck on the right arm by a line drive during Sunday’s contest against the Royals.

The veteran righty picked up the win Sunday and lowered his ERA […]

Jeremy Jeffress Records Third Save

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress picked up his third save of the season on Sunday. Jeffress was a bit shaky in his outing and allowed a hit and two walks in 1 1/3 inning. Manager David Ross has yet to formally name a closer, but Jeffress and Rowan Wick appear to be his preferred […]
