The Yankees won their third straight Monday night in Baltimore, doing it in typical 2013 fashion. Robinson Cano hit his 13th home run of the season, but David Adams, Lyle Overbay and Travis Hafner also homered – with Hafner’s opposite field shot in the ninth tying the game at 4-4. In the 10th inning, Ichiro [...]
Miguel Cabrera had himself quite a night on Sunday against the Rangers on national TV, even though it wasn’t enough. The Rangers won, 11-8. Cabrera was 4-for-4 with three home runs, five RBI and one walk. Coming off his triple crown season in 2012, Cabrera is leading the league with a .387 batting average and [...]
The Mets snapped a six-game skid yesterday with a 5-2 win against Adam Wainright and the Cardinals in St. Louis. The best part of the game was Daniel Murphy‘s disappearing double trick…check out the GIF below. Murphy lashed a ball down the right field line and it fell exactly between a small crack in the [...]
Yankees fans had seen a bit of “good” Phil Hughes this season, but Wednesday’s start against the Mariners was “bad” Phil. Hughes gave up seven runs on six hits and two walks on 36 pitches and was pulled with two out in the top of the first. Seattle went on to win, 12-2. Here’s Hughes’ [...]
The Yankees beat Felix Hernandez and the Mariners on Tuesday night, which was win No. 25 this season. That put the Yankees in a tie for the MLB lead with Texas and St. Louis, teams that also have 25 wins. Felix Hernandez gave up five hits, one run and struck out eight over six innings, [...]
Curtis Granderson will return to the Yankees tonight as the team takes on Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners at the Stadium. He’s playing left field and batting cleanup. Granderson was hit by a pitch early in spring training and suffered a broken right forearm. He had recently been playing for Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre and [...]
If 2012 was the year of the no-hitter – there were seven in the MLB last year, which includes three perfect games and a combined no-hitter – 2013 is shaping up to be the year of the near-no-hitter. Chris Sale threw a one-hit gem in the White Sox’s 3-0 win over the Angles on national [...]
Another day, another umpire controversy in Major League Baseball. This one was baffling. Last night in Houston, the Astros, leading 5-3 in the top of the seventh, went to the bullpen. Houston brought in Wesley Wright to face J.B. Shuck of the Angels. The Angels pinch-hit with a righty, Luis Jimenez. The Astros responded by [...]
Joe Girardi had quite the evening as Yankees manager on Wednesday in Denver. First, Girardi decided to put starting pitcher David Phelps in the No. 8 slot in the batting order, leaving catcher Austin Romine to hit eighth. Girardi’s reasoning for that was that he didn’t want to bunch lefty-hitting Brett Gardner, Robinson Cano and [...]
It wasn’t a perfect game and he did allow an infield single, but Matt Harvey was just about as close to perfect as one gets on Tuesday night against the White Sox. Harvey didn’t walk a batter and struck out 12, but since the game went to extra innings because the Mets couldn’t score any [...]
