Mark Melancon Saves 3-0 Win Over the Cardinals

It looked like the Cardinals had something going in the ninth with Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna on first and second with just one out. Mark Melancon then decided to go into shutdown mode, striking out Yadier Molina and Kolten Wong to give the Braves the win. It closed off a shutout for the Braves, […]

Kolten Wong Goes 0-for-4 With Three Strikeouts and Five Left-On-Base in Loss

Wong had a couple of chances to flip this game upside down but never came through. He instead gave us a strikeout hat trick and never reached base, nor moved over any valuable runners-on-base. Mike Foltynewicz has these guys numbers, and a lot of it had to do with his slider working so well. It […]

Jack Flaherty Goes Seven Strong Innings in 3-0 Loss to Braves

Flaherty was strong, but the Cardinals were never able to get anything going on offense. Flaherty finished the night with three earned runs through six innings while striking out eight. You can’t ask for much more on the road out of a young arm that doesn’t have playoff experience. Flaherty continues to show his maturity […]

A.J. Pollock Goes 0-for-4 With Three Strikeouts, Leaving Two On-Base in Game Two Loss

Pollock was terrible tonight. Especially for a guy that’s in the middle of the order to make contact and move the runners over. He couldn’t do anything against Strasburg, finishing the night 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and a few runners stranded. They’ll need Pollock to be his consistent-self if the Dodgers want any chance of […]

Cody Bellinger Goes 0-for-4 With Two Strikeouts in Loss to Nationals

It wasn’t the prettiest game for Cody Bellinger, who left three guys on-base and didn’t have a single productive at-bat on the night. Strasburg struck him out early in the game, and looked to have his number throughout. Bellinger will look to bounce-back Sunday night in a tough match-up with Max Scherzer. Make sure to […]

Max Scherzer Pitches Scoreless Eighth Inning and Strikes Out the Side

Scherzer was needed for a relief appearance in the eighth inning, and he came through with three strikeouts in 14 pitches. He looked as good as ever, and this Dodgers team will have trouble if he comes out like that next start. The Strasburg-Scherzer combo came up huge in game two and we may see […]

Nationals Tie up Series With 4-2 Win, Beat Kershaw in Los Angeles

The Nationals regain home-field advantage, with two of the remaining three games being played in Washington D.C. They got the lead early and never surrendered it, eventually winning 4-2. They were able to mark up Kershaw for three early runs and it was 3-0 before the first two innings concluded. Strasburg went six innings allowing […]

Anthony Rendon Reaches Base Three Times and Drives in a Run

Rendon showed us why he’s one of the best hitters in the league, belting a double against Clayton Kershaw to give the Nats a 3-0 lead in the second inning. He walked in the first inning as well, allowing the Nats to stretch out the inning and score a run on the Howie Kendrick single. […]

Tyler Glasnow Goes 4.1 Innings and Allows Two Earned Runs in Loss to Houston

This stat line doesn’t look great, but Glasgow was phenomenal in this one. Jose Altuve caught up to a fastball in the fifth inning, and it gave the Astros a 2-0 lead. Prior to that mistake, Glasnow struck out five and had the ‘Stros best hitters frozen in their tracks watching his fastball glide past […]

Daniel Hudson Picks Up the Save In Series-Tying Game Two Win

It wasn’t a stress-free ninth-inning, as the game ended with the bases loaded and Corey Seager whiffing at a ball out of the strike zone. Hudson gave up a double to Justin Turner to open the inning, before striking out A.J. Pollock and getting Cody Bellinger to pop out. Max Muncy was then intentionally walked, […]

Adam Duvall Pinch-Hit Homers in Seventh to Give Braves 3-0 Lead

Duvall connected on a 3-2 fastball against Jack Flaherty in the seventh inning to drive in Brian McCann. Duvall lit a spark under a Braves squad that was up just 1-0 prior, struggling to get anything going at the plate. He came in as a pinch-hitter for Mike Foltynewicz, who threw a gem. The Braves […]

Stephen Strasburg Leads the Nationals to a Game Two Win

Strasburg struck out 10 over six innings and got the win. His only blunder came in the sixth inning when Joc Pederson doubled Beaty to third base, who was driven in by a Justin Turner sacrifice fly. The Dodgers otherwise struggled, with multiple batters striking out twice. Strasburg won the starting pitching battle over Kershaw, […]

Corey Seager Strikes Out In the Ninth Inning With Bases Loaded

It was a miserable night for Corey Seager, who went 0-for-4 and struck out three times. With the Dodgers down 4-2, he came up to bat in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and two outs. He chased a slider and struck out, finishing his hat trick. Daniel Hudson was able to close the […]

Mike Foltynewicz Dominates Cardinals to Even Series at 1-1

Foltynewicz threw seven shutout innings, gave up just three hits, and struck out seven batters. The Cardinals didn't have an answer for his slider, striking out four of seven with his putout sweeper. He regains the trust of this Braves team after struggling a bit to end this season. The series is null and void […]

Max Muncy Homers Off of Sean Doolittle to Bring Dodgers Within One Run

Muncy jumped on a first-pitch fastball and drove it over the right-field fence to pull within one run of the Washington Nationals at 3-2. Sean Doolittle was brought in to face the lefties after Stephen Strasburg went six strong. He struck out Cody Bellinger and Will Smith to finish off the inning, but allowed a […]

Clayton Kershaw Allows Three Runs in Six Innings Vs Nationals

Kershaw gave up a lead off double to Trea Turner and eventually faced a bases-loaded threat with just one out. He escaped allowing just one run, but the trouble returned just an inning later. Adam Eaton and Anthony Rendon each drove in a run in the second inning and took a 3-0 lead over the […]

Alex Bregman With an All-Around Performance in Game One Victory

It was more of the same from Alex Bregman, showing us why he pressured Mike Trout for the AL MVP. He walked twice, went 1-for-2 with a double, and stole a base. He was an integral part of twos scoring innings and didn’t have a single wasted at-bat. He’s a handful for any team and […]

Austin Meadows Doubles Home a Run as Rays Fall to Astros in Game One

The loss wasn’t Meadows doing, as he walked twice and drove in Eric Sogard in the eighth with a double. He opened up the game with a walk against Justin Verlander, but the Rays couldn’t get anything going until he departed the game. It’s an uphill battle for the Rays at this point, as they’re […]

Jose Altuve Breaks Scoreless Game With Home Run in Fifth Inning

After Verlander and Glasnow dueled through five, Glasgow ran into trouble with his command in the fifth inning and ended up falling behind Jose Altuve. He turned on a high fastball and sent it over the Crawford boxes, giving the Astros a 2-0 lead. They never looked back, eventually winning 6-2 and taking the 1-0 […]
