The Cubs finally snapped the Reds’ 12-game winning streak at Wrigley Field on Thursday. But the Reds didn’t let it go easily.

It took 78 minutes, but the Chicago Fire finally took advantage of the opportunity provided them by Wednesday night’s postponement of their Lamar Hunt US Open Cup fourth round clash with the Columbus Crew, as Patrick Nyarko’s late strike propelled them into the quarterfinals with a 2-1 win under their belt.

Indians Beat Rangers 5-2
June 13, 2013 by
A.J. Pierzynski popped up a pitch from Indians left-hander Rich Hill in the sixth inning and then slammed his bat to the ground in disgust.

Braves Beat Clippers 9-2
June 12, 2013 by
Thanks in large part to a seven run sixth inning, Gwinnett easily coasted to 9-2 win over Columbus at Coolray Field. The bottom of the third featured one of the more bizarre delays in recent memory. Dave Soucy, who started the game as the home plate umpire, was struck on the hand by a Daisuke […]
Indians Break Streak, Beat Rangers 5-2
June 12, 2013 by
Corey Kluber only needed a half-hour in the car to get to Rangers Ballpark when he was a kid. If he ever imagined himself pitching a gem on the stadium’s mound, it was probably not as a visitor. On Tuesday night, working in the kind of hot conditions in which he was raised, the hometown […]
Reds Smack Cubs 12-2
June 12, 2013 by
The Reds don’t just keep beating the Cubs. They’re beating them badly. After a 12-2 rout on Tuesday night — to say nothing of Monday’s ho-hum 6-2 victory — Cincinnati has only furthered its dominance over its division rival. Cincinnati has now won a franchise-best and Wrigley Field record of 11 straight games at at […]
