Alex Cobb Again Victimized By Bad Defense

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb deserved better than the results he got against the New York Mets Monday night.

Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez was in the lineup for both games of Tuesday's twin bill against the Chicago White Sox, and he came through with four hits in seven at-bats with a double and a walk. Lopez has been a mainstay at the bottom of the Kansas City lineup, but he's managed to […]

Jeimer Candelario Homers Tuesday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, accounting for the only blemish on Shane McClanahan's line for the evening.

Avisail Garcia Homers Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia homered again on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in an 8-2 victory over the Washington Nationals.

Matt Chapman Smacks Sixth Homer Monday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman enjoyed a solid game Monday against the Seattle Mariners, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk.

Kyle Schwarber Showing Positive Signs
