Tigers Beat Indians 6-4 with Late Homer
September 15, 2014 by
The Indians did not want to be in a position where another miracle was required. Following a three-game sweep at the hands of the Tigers this weekend, that is precisely what Cleveland needs if it wants to take its season off life support. The Tribe arrived in the Motor City with a chance to cut […]
Brewers Beat Reds 9-2
September 15, 2014 by
For the first time in his career, Reds pitcher Mike Leake crossed the 200-innings threshold Sunday afternoon as he faced the Brewers.

Indians Sweep Doubleheader with Twins
September 12, 2014 by
There was a point in time when lefty T.J. House was considered a temporary solution for an embattled rotation.

Reds Beat Cardinals 4-2
September 11, 2014 by
The two doubles and an RBI that starting pitcher Alfredo Simon collected on Wednesday vs. the Cardinals were merely bonuses. What the Reds and Simon both needed, and received, was a strong performance from the mound and a victory. That’s what has been missing too often from his second half of this season. Simon also […]
Twins Down Indians 4-3
September 10, 2014 by
Four batters. That was all it took to derail Trevor Bauer and the Indians on Tuesday night. In the opener of a three-game set with the Twins, Bauer turned in a performance that was solid throughout with the exception of one brief, damaging lapse. In light of a lack of much run support, a swift […]
