A three run first inning was all Columbus would need as T.J. House and a host of Clippers relievers made it stand up for a 3-2 win at Huntington Park. The Clippers got off to a fast start offensively in the bottom of the first. Chun Chen plated a run with an RBI single. Juan […]
Indians Use Another Walk-Off Home Run to Beat White Sox 6-5
August 1, 2013 by
With his arcing liner threatening to breach the fence in right, Carlos Santana raced out of the batter’s box at Progressive Field, hoping his hit would go for four bases, not two. As it sailed into a frantic crowd, Santana hoisted an arm in satisfaction and carried on with his home-run trot. The rest of […]
Reds Beat Padres 4-1
August 1, 2013 by
None of the games from the Reds’ five-game losing streak can be brought back, and all the issues that helped contribute to those outcomes aren’t solved. But a 2,000-plus-mile flight home to Cincinnati, followed by a much-needed off-day, goes down much more enjoyably following a win. Homer Bailey once again provided a strong pitching performance […]

Indians Beat White Sox 7-4
July 31, 2013 by
The starters on other teams are probably jealous of the Indians’ bench. After Ryan Raburn and Jason Giambi recently ended games with walk-off home runs, Cleveland’s reserves were deservedly in the spotlight once more at Progressive Field on Tuesday night. With the Tribe trailing by one in the eighth inning, Raburn delivered a two-run single […]
Padres Beat Reds 4-2
July 31, 2013 by
The Reds’ season-high fifth straight defeat on Tuesday evening was eerily similar to the four that preceded it as their offense lacked support for the pitching staff. For the first time during the skid, Cincinnati scored more than one run. But that was hardly any kind of a silver lining following a 4-2 loss to […]

July 30, 2013 by
In front of crowd of 11, 544 on a Sugardale Dime-a-Dog night, Columbus won a back-and-forth contest with Durham 5-4 at Huntington Park. Durham wasted no time getting on the scoreboard when Vince Belnome belted a solo homer into the Wendy’s Hamburger Balcony to give the Bulls a 1-0 lead. An inning later, Mike Fontenot […]
Indians Beat White Sox with Giambi’s Record-Breaking Homerun
July 30, 2013 by
Jason Giambi emerged from the crowd of teammates at home plate, missing his helmet, with his shirt coming untucked and unbuttoned. The veteran slugger saw his manager, grinning and jogging his way with arms extended. Manager Terry Francona embraced Giambi, who then hoisted his manager into the air. It was a moment of pure joy.
