Jon Gray Tames Diamondbacks

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray logged a solid quality start on Wednesday as he only allowed one earned run in six innings of work.

Daniel Murphy Launches Sixth Home Run

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy continued to reinforce that he's back into the swing of things by drilling his sixth home run of the season on Wednesday night. Murphy turned a 2-0 fastball by Zack Greinke into a souvenir for the folks on the patio in Arizona to tie the game for the Rockies. […]

Trevor Story Jams Thumb, Day-To-Day

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was suffering from a terrible case of déjà vu on Wednesday night.

Story was removed from the […]

Homer Bailey Throws Another Shutout

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey has now thrown 13 2/3 straight innings of shutout ball. Bailey shut down the Mariners offense for 7 2/3 innings on Tuesday, giving him his second straight shutout win.

Whit Merrifield Smashes Two Homers

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield recorded the second multi-home run game of his career on Tuesday against the Mariners when he went yard in the fourth and eighth innings of KC's rout.

Adalberto Mondesi Day-To-Day

Kansas City Royals star shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (groin) suffered some tightness in his groin during Tuesday's game, so he was removed and is considered day-to-day. A couple innings prior to the injury, Mondesi stole his 27th base of the season, but he said he aggravated the injury on an awkward slide at home on Alex Gordon's RBI […]

Antonio Senzatela Shuts Down Snakes

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela didn't have the prettiest outing on Tuesday, but he got the job done. Though he allowed 11 baserunners in 6 2/3 innings, including four walks, Senzatela was able to skirt trouble just enough to escape with only one run allowed. His offense punished the Arizona pitching enough to nail […]

Ryan McMahon Starts To Heat Up

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon survived a competition with Garrett Hampson, survived a competition with Brendan Rodgers (for now), and now he's finally starting to come around at the plate. Following an RBI double on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, McMahon is now carrying a five-game hitting streak that includes multiple three-hit games. He's knocked […]

Nolan Arenado Slugs 18th Bomb

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado destroyed a hanging curveball in the first inning of Tuesday's game with the Diamondbacks to give him 18 home runs on the season.

Kansas City Royals reliever Brian Flynn has been on a roll since he returned from the Injured List (elbow). Flynn has worked 9 2/3 innings in relief so far, and is carrying a sparkling 0.93 ERA.

Danny Duffy Labors Through Five Innings

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was fortunate enough to come away with a no-decision in Monday's game against the Mariners after allowing multiple baserunners in all but one inning. A surprisingly strong bullpen and offensive performance bailed him out. Duffy allowed seven hits and three walks en route to four earned runs in […]

Jorge Soler Continues To Pound Baseballs

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler smashed his 19th home run on Monday, pushing a two-run shot over the right-center wall in the eighth inning to lead his team to victory. Soler's recent run has been impressive, hitting nine home runs in his last 93 at-bats, putting up an elite rate of one home run […]

Charlie Blackmon Sets Hits Record

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon finally broke his streak of four-hit performances, but he did set a new MLB record for most hits in a four-game series with 15. The three-hit game on Sunday included a lead-off home run to get the scoring started early, but the Rockies would eventually fall after a bullpen collapse […]

Jakob Junis Chased Early By Twins

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis was off his game on Sunday when the Twins ran him out after just 2 2/3 innings pitched.

Jorge Bonifacio Knocks Two Hits In Win

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Bonifacio recorded his first major league hits of 2019 on Sunday when he smacked a single and a double in KC's win against the Twins. Following a breakout season in 2017, Bonifacio was suspended for PEDs in 2018 and performed terribly after he returned from the suspension. So far this […]

Billy Hamilton Knocks In Two Runs

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton has had quite a disappointing season so far, hitting just .225 with only 12 stolen bases, but he did pick up a couple RBI on Father's Day with a timely single and exciting bunt. Hamilton's bunt was particularly critical as the squeeze brought home Nicky Lopez when it was […]

Martin Maldonado Makes Father's Day Highlights

Kansas City Royals catcher Martin Maldonado should dress up for work every day. Maldonado came to the ballpark with a little extra flair for Father's Day as he outfitted his chest protector with a sewn-on tie. The snazzy accessory did the trick for him and the Royals as Maldonado went 3-for-4 with a pair of […]

Jorge Soler Launches 462-Foot Blast

Kansas City Royals slugger Jorge Soler honored Joe Mauer Day in Minnesota with an upper-deck blast in the top of the first inning. The two-run shot was launched off the first pitch he saw from starter Jake Odorizzi, though the two runs would prove fruitless as the Royals dropped another game to the first-place Twins. […]

Whit Merrifield Cuts Strikeouts

Kansas City Royals outfielder Whit Merrifield appears to have found his stride once again. The utility man has a career strikeout rate of 16%, but for a period of about two weeks at the end of May and into early June, Merrifield became an entirely different player. He struck out 41% of the time and […]

German Marquez Flounders His Way To Win

Colorado Rockies ace German Marquez has been terrible recently, and his struggles continued on Saturday. The Padres chased Marquez in the sixth inning after Eric Hosmer cleared the bases with a slow-rolling single to left-center. Marquez was charged with seven earned runs on 10 hits and four walks, and even his eight strikeouts couldn't save […]

Trevor Story Is Just Fine After Contusion

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story had a scary moment on Friday when a late grounder took a bad hap and nailed him in the forehead, but it looks like he's just fine. Since he was removed as a precaution, Story has played in both games this weekend and torn it up in the process. Story […]

David Dahl Knocks In Three In Win

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl continued his recent hot streak by driving in three runs on three hits on Saturday as the Rockies snatched a victory from the Padres.

Ian Desmond Drills Grand Slam

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond has spent two seasons trying to find a way to show that he's better than his numbers have implied. He may finally be on the right track. Desmond helped break Saturday's game open by launching a shot over the wall in right-center with the bases loaded in the fifth inning, […]

Charlie Blackmon Sets Franchise Record

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is having a series for the ages. In three games against the Padres this week, Blackmon has racked up three straight four-hit performances, a franchise record. He's also the first player in the majors to have three straight four-hit games in over a decade. Blackmon's gone 12-for-18 so far in […]

Trevor Story Floats Homer To Right Field

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is usually known for his massive blasts and no-doubters, but his 16th home run of the season looked more like a mistake. Facing Padres starter Matt Strahm with a runner on in the second, Story lofted a 1-1 pitch to right field that just would not stop carrying. The ball […]

Jon Gray Wins Ugly Outing

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray struck out 10 in six innings on Thursday, but he also allowed nine hits and four earned runs.

David Dahl Knocks Three Hits Against Chicago

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl was the only member of the offense to have a good day against the Cubbies on Wednesday when he smacked three hits while his teammates scuffled.

Antonio Senzatela Hammered By Cubs

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela's luck ran out on Wednesday when the Cubs teed off on his mediocre stuff. Senzatela was flying high as he was coming off back-to-back quality starts, but Chicago dropped a five-spot on him in the second inning and a three-run start to the fifth would chase him before he […]

Ryan O'Hearn Goes Yard For Sixth Homer

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn is trying to salvage what's been a terrible start to his first full-time season, but it may not be enough in the long run. O'Hearn drilled a solo shot on Tuesday to help propel Kansas City to a victory, but the youngster is still hitting just .192 for […]

Ian Kennedy Nails Down Fifth Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Ian Kennedy did his job on Tuesday as he held Detroit scoreless to finish out his fifth save of the season. Converting Kennedy to a reliever has been a bit of a roller coaster as he's ranged from dominant to terrible from week to week, but he's currently on a […]
