Brown's walk-off hit saves Papelbon, Phillies
Beerleaguer — On Monday night, Jonathan Papelbon made a beeline for Domonic Brown after the Phillies' 5-4 win over the Nationals. That's because the Phillies' closer had Brown to thank for saving the night after Papelbon couldn't. Papelbon showed he was human on Monday in blowing his first save of the season, but Brown turned it into a win by lining a game-winning, RBI single up the middle with two outs in the ninth to walk the Phillies off over division rival... 20 hours ago

The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News — As you’re well aware at this point, every team is honoring Mariano Rivera as he makes his final stop in each city.

Miguel Cabrera and the 2 Year Triple Crown
Bless You Boys — Miguel Cabrera has cooled off in June, batting .261 with a .413 slugging percentage. And that is fine, as others heat up to help carry the load. Victor Martinez is batting .255 but with a .471 slugging percentage, and Prince Fielder is leading the way hitting .362 with a .603 slugging percentage. Austin Jackson returned with four hits in three games including a home run. Torii Hunter is through chasing the elusive 300th home run and can go back to hitting singles to right field that turn into RBIs for Cabrera and Fielder. Cabrera's 12 home runs in May prompted discussion about whet... June 17, 2013

Stephen Strasburg activated from DL: Nationals-Indians lineups
Washington Post — As expected, the Nationals officially activated Stephen Strasburg from the 15-day disabled list ahead of his Sunday start. Because the Nationals switched the rotation and benefited from rainouts and off days, Strasburg missed only one start. The Nationals' rotation, after a month of being incomplete, is now whole again.To make room for Strasburg, the Nationals optioned left-handed reliever Xavier Cedeno to Class AAA Syracuse. In 1 1/3 scoreless innings over two appearances, he allowed only one hit. Read full article >> June 17, 2013
Arte Moreno's Yankee-Worship Problem
Halos Heaven — A few years ago, Derek Jeter got his 3,000th hit. It is hard to say if this is a cause for celebration. While Jeter is undeniably a great player, he is a Yankee. If he played for any other team, his 3,000th hit would have got some coverage and that would have been that. But the Yankees get more than their fair share of coverage. They get more coverage than they have earned. When the owner of a team huddles with his front office after a slow start it might not even get mentioned by any of the beat reporters covering 29 of baseball's 30 teams. When George Steinbrenner once called a concl... June 16, 2013

Hamels' unlucky season continues in loss to Rockies
Beerleaguer — Cole Hamels' frustration level has to be boiling at an all-time high. Another chapter was added to the lefty's 2013 nightmare as Hamels hurled his 11th quality start of the season, but the offense -- like all year -- offered him feeble support in the Phillies' 5-2 loss to the Rockies on Sunday. The Phillies (33-37) finished 3-7 in their 10-game road trip, losing series to Milwaukee (28-40), Minnesota (30-36) and Colorado (37-33). Hamels took the mound on Sunday and... June 16, 2013

Behind Hamels, Phils go for series win in Colorado
Beerleaguer — The Phillies have won every series they've played at Coors Field since 2008. Sunday, they'll go for the victory to cap off their 10-game road trip with a 4-6 record. When Cole Hamels pitches, the Phillies are an unthinkable 2-12 this season. In the left-hander's 10 quality starts, the club has scored a combined 20 runs. Take away his two winning decisions, and the Phils have managed just nine runs in the other eight games. But on the few occasions... June 16, 2013
Garza has best outing of season
Chicago Cubs Blog | ESPN Chicago — NEW YORK -- Matt Garza put the Chicago Cubs in position to win Sunday. His bullpen just didn't cooperate. "Another strong outing from our starter is wasted again," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said after his bullpen collapsed in the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss to the New York Mets. "Garza was really good. That fastball command today, down and away, I think he had a really good slider as well." Garza had his best outing of the season as he threw seven shutout innings of three-hit ball while recording a no-decision. June 16, 2013

No closer to solution: Andrew Bailey barely escapes
Boston Herald — BALTIMORE — It’s too early to say the Red Sox have a closer problem, particularly considering how good Andrew Bailey was in April and May. But let’s just say it would put everyone’s mind at ease if the Sox closer would start slamming the door in a more orderly fashion. June 15, 2013

Mariners clinch series win on Henry Blanco grand slam
Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — Felix Hernandez was 14 years old the last time Henry Blanco hit a grand slam. That was back on May 12, 2000 against the Pirates and Jason Schmidt. But Blanco turned the trick again today, his latest slam, coming in the sixth inning off Oakland Athletics starter A.J. Griffin, giving Hernandez and company all the offense needed for a 4-0 win. The Mariners found a way to get it done here -- albeit not the orthodox way. The gap between slams by Blanco is the fifth-longest in MLB history -- the longest being Max Carey of the Brooklyn Dodgers at 15 years, 81 days back in 1927. Hernandez did his part... June 15, 2013

Game #70: A's vs. Seattle
Athletics Nation — Let's start right off with today's "fun fact"...Felix Hernandez has made 14 starts so far this season; in those games the Seattle Mariners are 7-7. Yes, Hernandez is great. However, you can win games started by the King -- in fact, opponents have done just that in 4 of his last 6 starts. The Mariners, you see, have scored 13 runs in the 7 games Felix has started but the team has lost. That's where A.J. Griffin comes in: He takes the ball today for the A's knowing that the margin for error is small. Overall, Felix is 7-4 with a sparkling 2.49 ERA, dwarfing Griffin's 5-5, 3.78 ERA. To wi...

Despite save, Bailey labors
Red Sox Blog | Providence Journal — By Tim BrittonBALTIMORE -- Is it officially time for the Red Sox to be concerned about Andrew Bailey? Boston's closer picked up his eighth save of the season on Saturday, but it didn't come smoothly. Bailey allowed a leadoff single to Adam Jones and a long two-run homer to Matt Wieters, which sliced a three-run cushion to just one. J.J. Hardy singled to put the tying run on base, but pinch-runner Alexi Casilla lost track of how many outs there were and was easily doubled off first on the ensuing flyout to end the game. It marked the second time this week that Bailey allowed two runs in an in... June 15, 2013
