It was the perfect time for Asdrubal Cabrera to break free from his early-season slump. The Indians had bases loaded with two outs in the fifth inning, giving the shortstop a prime chance to pull his team back into the ballgame with the Red Sox.

April 18, 2013 by
It’s very possible the Reds’ rotation will eventually miss injured ace Johnny Cueto at some point, but that time is not yet.

April 17, 2013 by
Ubaldo Jimenez walked slowly off the mound at Progressive Field and heard it from the home crowd with each step he took.

A stellar injury rehab start by lefty Scott Kazmir allowed Columbus to defeat Louisville 4-1 on Dime-a-Dog night at Huntington Park. The Clippers would get on the board in the bottom of the fourth thanks to some sloppy Louisville defense. With runners on second and one out, Juan Diaz grounded to the shortstop. The Bats […]

Brandon Phillips wanted the big hit for the Reds against the Phillies for a few reasons on Monday night. First and foremost, his team had a five-game losing streak it needed to snap.

For the second consecutive game, Columbus found itself in a penalty-killing […]
Cavs Fall to Heat Backups 96-95
April 16, 2013 by
The little mini-drama in the Cavaliers’ locker room after the 96-95 loss to the Miami Heat on Monday at The Q was almost as interesting as what happened at the end of the game. As reporters crowded around Kyrie Irving’s locker to ask what happened on the last play of the game and why he […]

The Columbus Crew and the Montreal Impact struggled to get going Sunday afternoon in Montreal, but the two goals they ultimately produced in their 1-1 draw this were a delight indeed.
