Los Angeles Times Right-handed ace, sidelined because of a fractured left elbow, is scheduled to pitch in an extended spring game Wednesday with the outcome dictating the next move by the club. Jered Weaver could rejoin the Angels' starting rotation next week, Manager Mike Scioscia said Tuesday.
Los Angeles Angels 7 hours agoLos 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.
Los Angeles Angels 7 hours agoSeattle Times Mike Trout hit for the cycle and drove in five runs, Josh Hamilton celebrated his 32nd birthday with a homer and a triple, and Howie Kendrick also went deep in the Los Angeles Angels' 12-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.
Seattle Mariners 8 hours agoTexas 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).

Los Angeles Angels 11 hours agoOrange County Register The Angels, who trailed the first-place Texas Rangers by 12 games at one point this season, will have to make up a lot of ground if they are to reach their goal of winning the division.

Texas Rangers 14 hours agoTexas Rangers Blog | ESPN Dallas ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Rangers try to even their series against Oakland when right-hander Yu Darvish takes the mound against A's right-hander Dan Straily at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday night on Fox Sports Southwest and ESPN-FM 103.3 and 1540 AM. Darvish (7-1, 2.97 ERA): Darvish makes his 10th start of the season, and his first since throwing 130 pitches in an 10-4 victory over Detroit last Thursday ... He leads all American League pitchers with 23 wins since the start of the 2012, tied for third overall in baseball behind Gio Gonzalez and R.
Texas Rangers 18 hours agoTexas 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.
Texas Rangers May 21, 2013Mariners 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...
