A three-run bottom of the sixth came right on cue as the Reds handed the Nationals a 6-3 loss while winning two of three games in the series. Third baseman Todd Frazier was one of the teammates Cueto was talking to. “I was screaming there with him,” said Frazier, who was 1-for-3 with an RBI […]
Cavaliers Beat Magic in Ugly Win
The Cavaliers won’t win many games shooting 36 percent from the field as they did Sunday night at The Q. Of course, they also haven’t had many opportunities to play an opponent on a more dubious slide than their own. While the Cavs ended a 10-game losing streak on Friday, the Orlando Magic has been […]
Crew Earns Point at Home, Draws with Union
Dominic Oduro came to the rescue of the Columbus Crew with a pinpoint strike to deny the Philadelphia Union their first victory at Crew Stadium, as the two Eastern Conference foes settled for a 1-1 draw on Saturday. Oduro tied the score in the 72nd minute with a heavy ball from a tough angle that […]
Tampa Bay Blanks Cleveland 6-0
Perhaps fitting for a pitcher known for his eccentricities and odd routines, Trevor Bauer’s first start with the Indians was more than a bit unusual. The 22-year-old right-hander, called up to make a spot start for the injured Scott Kazmir, gave up three runs and walked seven batters in the Tribe’s 6-0 loss to the […]
Nationals Beat Reds in Extra Innings
The scorebook says Cincinnati lost to Washington, 7-6, in 11 innings on Saturday at Great American Ball Park. Solo home runs by Ian Desmond and Wilson Ramos — his second homer of the game — off of J.J. Hoover were the difference, after the opportunistic Reds came back from a four-run deficit to forge a […]
Clippers Beat Indianapolis 7-4
It was another night and another win for Columbus as the Clippers cruised past Indianapolis 7-4 at Victory Field. Indianapolis wasted no time offensively striking first in the bottom of the 1st when Jody Mercer drove in Alex Presley with an RBI double. Felix Pie would later tack on another run for Indy in the […]
Tampa Bay Beats Indians 4-0
The Indians rolled out of Toronto on Thursday night feeling good about their offense after scoring a combined 15 runs on 31 hits over three games. But their revamped lineup was no match for left-hander Matt Moore and the Rays on Friday night. Moore struck out eight over six innings and the Tribe managed just […]
Reds Rout Nationals 15-0 with 6 Home Runs
You needed to see home runs? Yeah, the Reds had some home runs on Friday night. Plenty of them, bunches of them. In fact, they had all kinds of home runs for your perusal. Missed one? Don’t worry, it felt like another long ball would be along soon enough. Against the Nationals during a 15-0 […]
Cavs Break 10-game Skid, Beat Boston 97-91
After looking lifeless in Wednesday’s 113-95 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Cavaliers post-game media conference was dominated by different forms of the same question. “Have you guys checked out?” Although no one was able to find the right words for an overly convincing denial, the Cavaliers used their play on Friday to send a […]
Toronto Beats Cleveland 10-8
The Indians won their first series of the season. That is the main takeaway from Cleveland’s opening act north of the border. The other is that this new brand of offense already appears more resilient than the lineup assembled last season. As for Thursday night, the Indians would probably prefer to quickly forget about what […]
