Team Streak finally found a pitcher it could beat. It's no accident that right-hander Scott Feldman lives by the streak himself.
The Indians, averaging 3.2 runs per game since the All-Star break, scored four in the first inning Saturday night and hung on to beat Texas, 4-3, at Progressive Field. The victory ended their six-game losing streak, while extending Feldman's losing streak to five straight starts.
Cleveland Indians eke out 4-3 victory over Texas Rangers on 4-run first inning
Cleveland Plain Dealer 9/02/2012
A day after San Diego first baseman Jesus Guzman hit a home run then acted as though he won Game 7 of the World Series, Madison Bumgarner had a present for him, a second-inning fastball behind his back.
Benches emptied, Bumgarner and Guzman barked, and then it was over ... until Guzman broke a 1-
Cody Ross can see clearly now, so he must have had a nice view as his decisive pinch-hit home run sailed into the left-field seats.
Ross’ three-run shot in the eighth inning spoiled an outstanding outing by Miami’s young Jose Fernandez, and the Arizona Diamondbacks held off the Marlins 3-1 on
Manny Ramirez wants to make another comeback to major league baseball.
Ramirez, 41, batted .352 this season with eight home runs and 43 RBI for the EDA Rhinos of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The Rhinos — based in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan — released Ramirez after he fulfilled a con
Jeff Francis' locker was cleared out Wednesday, and his time with the Rockies could be over.
Though a roster move will not be official until Thursday, Francis will not re-join the team in Washington. Colorado is expected to clear a roster spot for Roy Oswalt, who will start Thursday night's game.
If this series was a playoff preview, the Orioles can’t wait. For the second time in the last three weeks, the Orioles beat one of baseball’s best, the Detroit Tigers in a series.
The Orioles’ 13-3 win over the Tigers before 38,574 at Comerica Park on Wednesday, gave them four wins in six g
On a single, laughable play, the tenor of this 6-4 Yankees victory pivoted from jittery to jovial. The actor at the center was Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario. The Yankees served merely as props in his slapstick exhibition in the first half of this doubleheader.
With one out in the seventh, Bel
General manager Rick Hahn isn’t quite ready to break up the Chicago White Sox despite being 9 ½ games out of first place in the American League Central and receiving an increasing number of telephone calls from other executives.
“I know there’s frustration in the clubhouse,” Hahn said Mo
Major League Baseball has started interviewing big leaguers linked to the Miami PED investigation, and people who have spoken to MLB investigators are convinced there will be at least some suspensions handed down in the explosive case.
MLB is said not to have interviewed the two biggest names con
For a good two years now, Justin Verlander has been the best pitcher in the world. He won both the AL Cy Young and MVP awards in 2011, becoming the first pitch to do so since Roger Clemens in 1986. The FanGraphs version of WAR says he was even better in 2012 (7.0) than 2011 (6.8) despite the lack of
Manny Ramirez's time in Taiwan has come to an end. The EDA Rhinos of the Chinese Professional Baseball League have removed the the long-time big leaguer from their roster, reports the blog Manny Does Taiwan. He is scheduled to leave the country on June 21.
Ramirez, 41, signed a contract with the
A previously elusive figure in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug scandal has spoken out, saying clinic founder Anthony Bosch paid a visit to Alex Rodriguez during last year's American League Championship Series after the New York Yankees slugger sought his help amid a 1-for-9 slump.
The Y
Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong had all five pins removed from his right hand Tuesday, which could accelerate the pace of his recovery from his fractured right pinkie.
Vogelsong said that with all the pins gone, he'll be able to perform more mobility and flexibility exercises than he would if any o
The moons have aligned in such a way that the Yankees need to get Alex Rodriguez before Bud Selig does.
In the big picture, it would be best for the organization if Rodriguez never came back so it could collect insurance money and avoid the familiar A-Rod circus, and, perhaps, if he goes away due
Through the initial three innings Tuesday, the Astros had only two hits and one run.
Normally, the lack of meaningful contact and real production would have been major problems and a rebuilding club would have gradually moved closer toward its 46th defeat in 72 games.
But Jordan Lyles was on t
Esmil Rogers is an easygoing guy.
Where other starting pitchers are anti-social on the day of their starts, shunning all conversation to maintain the sombre focus of a monk, Rogers chats amiably and jokes around as he does every other day.
Perhaps that’s why he has converted so easily from the b
Manager Bruce Bochy isn't afraid to acknowledge that the Giants are "fortunate" to be in as good of shape as they are in the N.L. West despite a prolonged rough stretch.
On Tuesday, the Giants were fortunate to escape with a victory over the San Diego Padres after twice blowing leads and needing a
Navigating a bullpen minefield without his closer is something manager Eric Wedge had spent the past week dabbling in.
And it almost blew up in his face Tuesday night when he dabbled with recently removed closer Tom Wilhelmsen in the eighth inning and saw him yield a tying home run to Albert Pujo
After the Marlins capped off a rally in the ninth the night before, it was the Diamondbacks’ turn Tuesday as Paul Goldschmidt belted a tie-breaking home run to lead off the bottom of the ninth to snap a four-game losing streak in front of 21,067 at Chase Field.
The Diamondbacks didn’t want to
The Cubs and Cardinals have played 20,321 games since 1876, but few have had stranger endings than Tuesday night's affair at Busch Stadium.
Second base umpire Fieldin Culbreth called Cardinals runner Shane Robinson out for interference for trying to take out Starlin Castro on a potential double p
The Rangers’ offense managed two runs on three hits and Yu Darvish allowed five runs, though only four were earned, in six innings to lose to the Oakland A’s 6-2.
Oakland first baseman Brandon Moss smacked a home run off Yu Darvish to start the second inning. Eric Sogard then increased the A
It’s June 19 and the Red Sox are in first place, seven games ahead of the always-tough Rays after a doubleheader sweep on a long day and night at Fenway Park.
But that isn’t the surprising part.
No, the surprising part is that the Red Sox have maintained their status atop the AL East despite t
Charlie Morton gave the Pirates what they needed Tuesday night and recalled visions of 2011 in the process.
Morton had enough movement on his sinker to keep the Cincinnati Reds on the ground and off the scoreboard, and his control was good enough to keep them off the bases.
Morton's outing contrib
In the last three games, the Orioles beat two of their chief tormentors. On Sunday, they defeated Jon Lester, who’d won 14 of his first 15 starts against them, and on Tuesday, Zach Britton bested Dettoit Tigers uberstar Justin Verlander.
For years, Verlander has toyed with the Orioles, winnin
In a few days, Chase Utley will return to the Phillies’ active roster, and the everyday lineup that Ruben Amaro Jr. drew up in long and dreary winter days will finally be together again.
At that point, Kevin Frandsen will return to his spot as one of the first guys off Charlie Manuel’s bench. W
Closer Vinnie Pestano was mad. He thought he'd blown the lead and that Kansas City tied the score Tuesday night in the ninth inning.
"I thought it was a new game," said Pestano.
It wasn't, as the Indians escaped with an improbable 4-3 victory over the Royals to regain second place in the AL Ce
