Scott Kazmir stood in the infield with his hands on his head, eyes wide and mouth agape. The Indians’ left-hander stared in disbelief after Royals catcher Salvador Perez was ruled safe on a leadoff triple in the sixth inning on Monday night. “That changed the game,” Kazmir said. On this evening, that was the beginning […]
Reds Beat Astros 6-1
September 17, 2013 by
Following 2 1/2 months on the disabled list, Reds ace Johnny Cueto has only a scant amount of days to show he can still help his team down the stretch, and possibly the playoffs. The most important part of the Reds’ 6-1 victory over the Astros on Monday was that Cueto showed no outward signs […]

September 16, 2013 by
Two second-half touchdowns gave the Baltimore Ravens just enough of a lead, as they improved to 1-1 on the season with a 14-6 win over the Cleveland Browns at M&T Bank Stadium Sunday. Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco threw a five-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marlon Brown and extended the Ravens’ lead over the Browns […]
Indians Beat White Sox 7-1, Close in on Wild Card Spot
September 16, 2013 by
By the time the Indians got under way in Sunday’s series finale against the White Sox following a four-hour, 23-minute rain delay, both teams they were chasing in the American League Wild Card race had already lost. The Tribe took full advantage behind a solid start by Zach McAllister and homers from Matt Carson, Nick […]
Brewers Beat Reds 6-5
September 16, 2013 by
The Reds were sitting pretty with less than three innings to play on Sunday, firmly grasping a 5-1 lead against a Brewers offense that had done essentially nothing through six innings against starter Bronson Arroyo. Then the wheels fell off. Late walks turned into late Milwaukee runs, and Carlos Gomez took the air out of […]

September 16, 2013 by
The Columbus Crew are officially back in the playoff hunt. After falling behind on Marco Di Vaio’s 18th goal of the season, an inspired Federico Higuain provided the assists on second-half goals by Chad Marshall and Dominic Oduro as the Crew notched an improbable 2-1 comeback win against the Montreal Impact, who were at the […]

September 16, 2013 by
Kenny Guiton waited until his fifth year at Ohio State to get his first start. Two plays into the game, he was already in the Buckeyes’ record book.

Indians Smack White Sox 14-3
September 13, 2013 by
Ryan Raburn made the most of his return to the Indians’ lineup on Thursday night after missing four games due to pain in his left heel. Raburn smashed a three-run homer in the first and drove in a season-high five runs, leading an offensive eruption to back Corey Kluber in a 14-3 win at U.S. […]
Royals Beat Indians 6-2
September 12, 2013 by
The Indians are doing all they can not to glance ahead to their remaining slate. As the club tries to make up ground in the American League Wild Card race, the players have adopted the narrow-focused mindset of manager Terry Francona. There is no game more important than the next one. “For us,” Indians starter […]
Reds Shutout Cubs 6-0
September 12, 2013 by
The Reds certainly wanted to win either of the first two games of their series with the Cubs. Because they didn’t, showing little offense in the process, Wednesday’s series finale was a lot less about wanting a win than needing one. By taking a 6-0 victory over the Cubs, the Reds met this essential requirement […]
