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. For Cleveland, and for the team’s bullpen in particular, it has been nice to see frustration finally find its way to the other dugout for a change. On a muggy […]

June 13, 2013 by
In a battle between friends and former teammates, Mike Leake might have had a bit more momentum on his side than Cubs starter, and former Red, Travis Wood.

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 […]

June 12, 2013 by

Rangers Beat Indians 6-3
June 11, 2013 by
The Indians headed into this road trip with their chests puffed out, feeling like a team on the cusp of something special. After the past week of baseball, Cleveland is now gasping for air. It was more of the same on Monday night for the reeling Tribe. Left-hander Scott Kazmir gave the Indians a decent […]
Reds Beat Cubs 6-2 in Heavy Fog
June 11, 2013 by
It wasn’t so much the distance, but Brandon Phillips’ third-inning grand slam was hit out of sight for many of the spectators at Wrigley Field.
