Cardinals Beat Reds 5-3
April 8, 2014 by
The Major League season is certainly a marathon, but the Reds are barely away from the starting line and have already seen their course littered with empty rallies and lost opportunity. Pushing runs in during clutch time has already eluded the Reds early and often, and Monday’s 5-3 defeat to the Cardinals for a 2-5 […]
Clippers Swept by Indianapolis to Start Season
April 7, 2014 by
The Indianapolis Indians completed the four-game sweep Sunday with an 8-3 win in the opening series over the Columbus Clippers. The loss gets the season off to the worst start for the Clippers since starting the season 0-8 in 2001. After losing the season series to two-time defending International League West champs Indians 9-12 in […]
Twins Beat Indians 10-7
April 7, 2014 by
The Indians expected some growing pains for their rotation this season. That makes having a leader such as Justin Masterson so important, because the big sinkerballer has a knack for using a strong outing to turn the page on a rough stretch. Masterson was not immune to the recent pitching problems on Sunday. Minnesota struck […]
Reds Beat Mets 2-1 to Avoid Sweep
April 7, 2014 by
A reliever turned temporary starting pitcher for the Reds, Alfredo Simon is the caretaker of the fifth spot in the rotation until Mat Latos can return in a couple of weeks. Simon, who hadn’t started in the regular season since 2011 with the Orioles, did more than just eat innings or pitch well enough on […]
Jackets Beat Islanders 4-0
April 7, 2014 by
Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards wasn’t too thrilled with how his team started Sunday’s game. What he did like, though, was how they responded and took over the game in the third period. And their power play, which has sputtered at times this season, pitched in big-time with three goals (Boone Jenner, Jack Johnson and […]
Toronto Downs Crew 2-0
April 7, 2014 by
Despite fielding a weakened starting lineup, Toronto FC was able to knock off the only remaining perfect MLS team, beating the Columbus Crew 2-0 at Crew Stadium on Saturday in a game highlighted by an early Michael Bradley goal. The match pitting Gregg Berhalter’s upstart Crew and Toronto’s star-studded roster was marred before the game […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 7-6
April 4, 2014 by
The length of the Reds series’ finale with the Cardinals was nearly four hours, and fell only a minute shy of the rain delay that preceded it. It made it all the more difficult to come away empty. There would be no game win, and no series win as the Reds came away all wet […]
Blue Jackets Beat Flyers 2-0
April 4, 2014 by
It would be impossible for the Blue Jackets, holding a lead (once again) entering the third period at Wells Fargo Center, not to think about what happened in their most recent trip to Philadelphia. Back in December – as you’re probably well aware of by now – the Blue Jackets led 3-0 heading to the […]
Cavaliers Whip Magic 119-98
April 3, 2014 by
It took only two questions before someone asked Cavaliers coach Mike Brown about his team’s big game on Friday at Atlanta. The dust had barely settled after Kyrie Irving’s seamless return in the Cavs’ 119-98 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night when the attention turned to the next game. It was only natural.
