We only have one MLB game on the slate today, but it's a fun one between the Rays and Astros. The Astros are tossing Justin Verlander on three days rest, so that will be very interesting to see how that plays out. On the Rays side, it'll be a bullpen game headed by Diego Castillo. […]

Freddie Freeman Goes 0-for-5 with 3 K’s in Loss

It was a miserable day at the plate for one of the best hitters in baseball.
