Mike Trout hits for the cycle in Angels' 12-0 win over Seattle

Los Angeles Times — Outfielder, 21, is the youngest to accomplish the feat since Mel Ott with the New York Giants in 1929. Josh Hamilton hits a home run and triple on 32nd birthday and Jerome Williams strikes out six over eight innings. The Angels broke out the disco ball in the clubhouse, and why not? That was quite a party.

Darvish not his best, but neither are bats

Texas Rangers Blog | ESPN Dallas — ARLINGTON, Texas -- A.J. Pierzynski made a very wise point after being peppered with several questions about Yu Darvish's so-called off night in the Rangers' 1-0 loss to Oakland on Monday. Basically it was this -- what do you want from him? Which is a very fair question. Darvish wasn't at his best Tuesday night. Even Pierzynski said so. Darvish walked three and hit a batter. He gave up a home run for the fifth straight game, this one to A's center fielder Yoenis Cespedes that ended up getting him beat (actually the Rangers offense lost this game, but that's another story).

Extra Bases: Darvish is Rangers' ace

Texas Rangers Blog | ESPN Dallas — ARLINGTON, Texas -- Yu Darvish may not consider himself to be in the class of Justin Verlander just yet. But Darvish is certainly held in high regard in the Rangers' clubhouse. "He's certainly been our ace," Washington said. Darvish was asked Sunday in advance of Tuesday's start against Oakland if he considered himself in the class of the Tigers' Cy Young winning pitcher after beating him last Thursday in a game that Verlander allowed eight runs without getting out of the third inning.

A few things to take away from this heartbreaking Mariners series

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — Justin Smoak may have said it best yesterday when he opined that any time a team loses three walk off games in four days, it's not going to be a good thing. Tom Wilhelmsen had the other great observation of the day that his club seemed about ready to catch the first plane out of town. I know there was plenty of teeth-gnashing, hair-pulling and all-around second, third and fourth-guessing taking place in the blogosphere after the game and that's fine. It's what sports fans do everywhere and the fans of Seattle are no different. We all need time to vent and there was certainly some vent-worthy b...
