Reds manager Bryan Price hoped that a radical change of the cast of characters in his lineup Thursday might bring a reversal of fortunes. While it produced with more gusto, the final outcome proved familiar. A 9-7 Reds loss to the Orioles meant being swept in the three-game series while completing a 1-5 road trip. […]

September 4, 2014 by
Dropping three games in a row to Detroit would have been unacceptable for the Indians.

Clippers Clinch Division Title
August 28, 2014 by
There was no dogpile, no excessive on-field show of emotion. Respectful on another team’s home field, Columbus players simply shook hands and shared hugs.
