Indians Beat Royals 5-3
April 24, 2014 by
There have been signs of life throughout the Indians’ lineup of late, but the team has relied heavily on the lower third for run production.

Reds Beat Pirates 4-1
April 23, 2014 by
As much as they tried, Pirates fans’ efforts to get into Johnny Cueto’s head proved futile. The taunts of “Cue-to, Cue-to,” were meant to rattle the Reds’ ace into repeating his faltering start in October’s Wild Card Game that included Cueto accidentally dropping a ball while on the mound. “Yes, I heard it.
