Royals Beat Indians 8-2
April 23, 2014 by
This was not supposed to be an experiment for the Indians. Putting young right-hander Danny Salazar in the Opening Day rotation was supposed to be the arrival of a future ace, an arm capable of carrying Cleveland back to the postseason. That all might prove true, but Salazar is clearly a work in progress. On […]
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. All I […]
Late Goals Doom Blue Jackets in 4-3 Loss to Penguins
April 22, 2014 by
If there’s ever a book written about this series, it should be titled “the curse of the two-goal lead.” Whether it’s something in the air or something about the comfortability of a cushion, both the Blue Jackets and Penguins have made a mess of them through three games of this series. Monday night, the Jackets […]

April 22, 2014 by
The Columbus Clippers (6-10) won 6-4 Monday night to end the four-game set with the Toledo Mud Hens (7-11) in Columbus and avoided the four-game sweep.

Indians Beat Royals 4-3
April 22, 2014 by
The Indians had their rally chicken last season. Perhaps the squirrel that invaded Progressive Field on Monday night, entertaining the crowd and causing a brief delay on the field, will bring a little luck this year. Cleveland will take any help it can get. “He was OK by me,” manager Terry Francona said. In the […]
Pirates Beat Reds 6-5
April 22, 2014 by
A couple of key decisions made by the Reds backfired big time against the Pirates on Monday night, but that didn’t mean manager Bryan Price was kicking himself for the decisions themselves. A 6-5 Reds walk-off loss to the Pirates came on a wacky blooped single by Neil Walker off of reliever J.J. Hoover, but […]
Crew Draws 1-1 with D.C. United
April 21, 2014 by
After trailing for the majority of the match thanks to an early Fabian Espindola goal, the Columbus Crew found more late-game heroics to earn a 1-1 draw with D.C. United on Saturday, this time from Héctor Jiménez. United snagged the game’s first goal against the run of play in the 31st minute, when an uncharacteristically […]
Indians Beat Blue Jays 6-4
April 21, 2014 by
David Murphy pulled into second base and gave a hard clap of his hands. What had been shaping up as a discouraging Easter Sunday at Progressive Field turned into a good day at the ballpark for the Indians. With his double down the left-field line in the sixth inning, Murphy helped Cleveland overcome a rough […]
Reds Beat Cubs 8-2
April 21, 2014 by
Homer Bailey had received plenty of run support in his first three starts without a win to show for it. The right-hander, who signed a six-year, $105 million deal in the offseason, started the season 0-1 with an 8.16 ERA while failing to make it past the fifth inning in any of those three starts. […]
