Trevor Story Knocks In Four Against Milwaukee

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was the main offensive force the team on Friday, but it wasn’t enough to hang on to a win. Story did most of his damage on a triple in the bottom of the fourth with the bases loaded, and he chipped in a sacrifice fly to give him four RBI […]

Chad Bettis Drilled By Brewers

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Bettis was knocked around by the Brewers on Friday, surrendering 10 hits and seven earned runs in just five innings. Even though he was spotted a huge 9-3 lead after four, Bettis wasn’t able to factor into the decision as the bullpen would eventually blow the lead and lose the […]

Jake McGee Takes Loss In 10th Inning

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Jake McGee hasn’t been as stellar in 2018 as expected, and he was saddled with a loss on Friday as he ended up getting victimized for a run in the 10th inning by the Brewers.

Carlos Gonzalez Homers In Loss

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez smacked his fourth homer of the season against Milwaukee on Friday night.

Chris Iannetta Knocks Fourth Homer

Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta hit another home run in a futile effort to beat the Brewers on Friday. It’s Iannetta’s second home run in his last four games, but those games have covered a span of 10 days because Iannetta is getting a lot of rest. There are no reports of any injuries, but […]

Wade Davis Blows Second Save

A worrisome game seemed to be in hand when Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis took the mound in the ninth on Friday.

Jon Jay Settles Back In At Leadoff

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jon Jay was promoted back to the leadoff position six games ago, and so far, he’s taken to it like a duck to water. Jay has hit .320 with a .345 OBP and five runs scored in the 27 leadoff plate appearances he’s had since his promotion. While he won’t provide […]

Kelvin Herrera Locked Down His Eighth Save

Kansas City Royals closer Kelvin Herrera locked down his eighth save of the season on Friday by pitching a clean inning against division rival Cleveland.

Keller tossed three scoreless innings as the Royals chipped away at the Indians staff and came back from a 9-5 deficit to steal a win. Keller has mostly served in short relief […]

Alcides Escobar Drives In Four In Win

Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar is a pretty terrible major league hitter, but he is still a major league hitter, which means he’s still incredibly talented and can have a big night at any moment. Friday, Escobar had the first of those nights in a long time. Escobar drove in four runs to help […]

Justin Grimm Expected Back Soon

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Justin Grimm was having a pretty nice season early on, but then it all fell apart as he allowed 16 earned runs over the course of just 2 2/3 innings.

Ian Kennedy Shelled By Orioles

Spotted a four-run lead in the first inning against the worst team in the majors, Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Ian Kennedy should have been able to cruise to a win.

Salvador Perez Smacks Birthday Slam

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez celebrated in style by jacking a grand slam on his 28th birthday.

Kyle Lohse Retires

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kyle Lohse officially announced his retirement from baseball on Thursday.

Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond was saddled with a golden sombrero in the final game against the Angels on Wednesday.

Salvador Perez Knocks Another HR

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez drilled a Dylan Bundy offering out of the park as part of Tuesday’s incredible first inning, and that gives the catcher three home runs in his first 15 games back from the disabled list.

Mike Moustakas Blasts Two Home Runs

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas preyed on a struggling Baltimore Orioles team on Tuesday, smashing a pair of home runs off some of the worst pitching he’s seen this year.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Adam Ottavino was roughed up by Anaheim on Tuesday as he surrendered his first home run of the season.

DJ LeMahieu Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Following his return from the disabled list on Tuesday night, Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu is resting on Wednesday in lieu of playing in the team's day game.
