Falling behind once again proved no deterrent to the Chicago Fire on Saturday, as the pinpoint passing of Joel Lindpere led to second-half goals by Dilly Duka and red-hot forward Mike Magee for 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium. A Federico Higuaín penalty pick in the 7th minute staked the Crew to […]

Behind a game-winning RBI sacrifice fly by catcher Omir Santos, the Clippers walked off with an 8-7 victory over the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs at Huntington Park.

Twins Down Indians 5-3
June 24, 2013 by
Sometimes it is better to look at the big picture when the results of one particular afternoon do not go as desired. That is the stance the Indians took on Sunday, when the team chose to focus on their successful homestand rather than its forgettable finale. In the final tilt of a three-game set with […]
Reds Beat Diamondbacks 4-2
June 24, 2013 by
Back-to-back losses already made the series vs. the D-backs a lost cause for the Reds by Sunday, but the three-city, eight-game road trip is far from that. That made leaving Phoenix with a win heading into Monday’s off-day a little more paramount. Boosted by first-inning home runs by Shin-Soo Choo and Brandon Phillips, Mat Latos […]

Pirates Beat Reds 5-3
June 21, 2013 by
Rookie Tony Cingrani is a left-handed starting pitcher by trade with a not-so-distant future in the Reds’ rotation. But in the here and now, Cingrani is a late-inning reliever charged with getting lefties out in high-leverage situations. The matchup on Thursday afternoon against the Pirates was optimal, as the Reds summoned Cingrani to face a […]

June 20, 2013 by
For the second straight night, the Clippers ended a game on a heartbreaking note as they fell to Pawtucket 5-4 in ten innings at Huntington Park.

Indians Beat Royals 6-3
June 20, 2013 by
Grinning faces were easy to spot on Wednesday in the Indians’ dugout. Between a two-homer, three-RBI game from Michael Brantley and another quality start from sinkerballer Justin Masterson, the Tribe had plenty to be happy about in its 6-3 win over the Royals at Progressive Field. The victory moved the Indians 3 1/2 games back […]
Reds Beat Pirates 2-1 in 13 Innings
June 20, 2013 by
Little has gone well at the plate for Brandon Phillips recently, but late Tuesday night, the Reds’ second baseman found himself in a hitting situation that he’s often been comfortable with: two strikes. Phillips’ average when hitting with two strikes is the best in the National League this season. And that moment came at the […]
