There was only one ideal situation for seeing Angels closer Joe Smith this week as far as the Indians were concerned — sharing a handshake with their old friend during a pregame workout and reminiscing about old times would have been fine. The Indians did not want to see him in the ninth inning. They […]
Jackets Fall to Penguins 3-1 in Game 5
April 28, 2014 by
Sergei Bobrovsky was far and away the Blue Jackets’ best player Saturday. Early on, that was great news for Columbus…but as the game wore on, it became less and less of a good thing. After a first period that felt like neither team really wanted to jump up and take hold of the game, the […]

April 28, 2014 by
The Columbus Clippers (10-12) beat the Norfolk Tides (7-16) 6-2 Sunday afternoon. Two big innings for the Clippers were all they needed to get to double digit wins on the season.

Giants Beat Indians 4-1
April 28, 2014 by
Danny Salazar decided he had spent enough time stressing over his mechanics and overthinking situations while out on the mound. The young Indians starter made a point mentally to change his approach Sunday afternoon. “I was trying to bring the guy that was here last year,” Salazar said. Salazar’s success in his limited time with […]
Braves Beat Reds 1-0 in Extra Innings
April 28, 2014 by
It’s becoming too common of a refrain that Reds ace Johnny Cueto is unlucky after pitching great games and not being rewarded. It’s been even more redundant that the Reds aren’t winning the close games, regardless of who is on the mound. Cueto pitched eight scoreless innings of three-hit baseball and came up empty in […]

Kluber Powers Indians Over Royals 5-1
April 25, 2014 by
Cody Allen headed out of the Indians’ clubhouse, rolling a suitcase behind him. The setup man enjoyed his Thursday afternoon at the ballpark, a day that included sitting out in the bullpen and watching starter Corey Kluber cruise through his first career complete game. Not once did a reliever even begin to get loose. “We […]
Reds Beat Pirates 2-1
April 25, 2014 by
For the first time in 23 starts in the big leagues, Reds lefty Tony Cingrani finally gave up more than five hits. But the trivia of his being the only Major Leaguer to begin a career this way was less important than what happened after Cingrani allowed hit No. 6 in the sixth inning. Cingrani […]
