Mike Trout hit another bomb on Saturday, giving him 14 for the season, with a .906 OPS, on pace for his best output in four years. The three-time MVP has once again made himself relevant after several seasons of injury troubles seemed to spell the end for him as an impact player. Not so fast. But one thing that hasn't changed is that his Los Angeles Angels are bringing up the rear in the American League, sitting last place in the AL West once again. Will this finally be the ...
The White Sox lacked the inured Munetaka Murakami, but they didn’t lack the long ball late, piling it on to turn close game into rout, 7-1.

On Friday night, the Detroit Tigers accomplished the feat of giving up a walkoff loss in seven straigth road series. Per Elias Sports Bureau, they joined the 1992 Chicago White Sox as the only two teams to manage this since expansion began back in 1961.

Go Rays!
The Nats had chances to win last night, but they came up short. Some of the weaknesses at the back end of their roster showed up, and they lost 7-5 in a bullpen battle. Now they will look to bounce back at home against a tough Padres team. Blake Butera has made some peculiar changes […]
I don’t really know what to put here anymore. I mean, sure, I can preview the pitching matchup and offer some thoughts about the lineup. And I will. But I also like to contextualize the play of the team and the importance of the game. And… there’s just no context worth offering, and there is […]
Don’t look now, but the Orioles might be bad again. Or maybe they never stopped. After starting the series with a chance to build upon the momentum of their three-game sweep of the Rays, the O’s instead have sputtered, dropping two straight one-run losses to the Blue Jays.
