|
| Brandon Backe pitched six solid innings allowing three earned runs though he fell to 2-5 on the season. |
Our View: The big mistake he allowed tonight was a home run to Matt Cain. Other than than, he was pretty economical throwing 86 pitches, 57 of them strikes in a decent showing.
|
|
|
|
| It was, in a vast understatement, a pitcher's duel as the White Sox fell in disappointing fashion to the LA Angels, 2-0. Chicago LHP John Danks pitched 6 1/3 innings, failing to allow a single run on seven hits with two walks and five strikeouts. |
Our View: Both runs in this game were surrendered by relief pitchers, thus Danks walks off the mound with no decision, his first since his first start of the season. With that said, Danks now carries 12 walks versus 35 strikeouts on the season. That's worthy of note to say the least.
|
|
|
|
| Brian Wilson converted his 12th save in 14 chances this year for the Giants against the Astros. |
Our View: Wilson continues to be one of the better closers in baseball at racking up the saves, even if many of his outings are far from clean. Tonight's game was the exception as he didn't allow a single base runner.
|
|
|
|
| The White Sox must have lost their sticks on the way to the park, for the box score reveals the team was held to no runs on just three hits in the 2-0 loss to the LA Angels. Of those three hits, only one was produced by a man that found himself on base twice. 3B Joe Crede went 1-for-2 at the plate with a walk, also adding one of nine strikeouts on the evening in a game that fails to match depiction. |
Our View: It was awful in every sense of the word, and now only catcher A.J. Pierzynski sits with an average of .300 in today's starting lineup.
|
|
|
|
| Matt Cain pitched eight strong innings to pick up his second victory of the season for the Giants. Cain threw 114 pitches while allowing two runs on seven hits and four walks. |
Our View: Cain has overcome the struggles that haunted him earlier in the year, and he has now allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of his last five games.
|
|
|
|
| Garrett Atkins hit his seventh home run of the season for the Rockies as he socked two hits to push his average even higher up to .335. He know has an 11-game hitting streak. |
Our View: Atkins is proving to everyone why he was undervalued heading into the season. He may not be the sexiest name out there, but there just aren't that many players who can hit .300 with 100 RBI are there?
|
|
|
|
| Jeff Francis had another terrible outing on Tuesday as he fell to 0-4 after allowing 13 hits and eight runs in 4.2 innings. |
Our View: Put a fork in him. So much for Francis being able to be a successful hurler even in Colorado. He should rebound moving forward, but with the way he is pitching that may not mean he is worthy of rostering in shallow mixed leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Randy Johnson struggled through five innings allowing nine hits and four runs, but he hung on long enough to pick up his third victory of the season. |
Our View: Johnson's ratios are poor with a 5.40 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, but he has 32 K in 31.67 IP with only 11 BB there is some reason to hope for mild improvement moving forward.
|
|
|
|
| Stephen Drew went deep for the fifth time this season as he had two hits, two runs and three RBI for the B'backs from the second spot in the order on Tuesday night. |
Our View: Drew seems to be easing into the season, but he may have found a home in the two hole in the order where he is batting .310 in 20 AB. If he continues to hit at the top of the order, his value will obviously receive a boost.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus hit his second home run of the season on Tuesday as he went 2-for-5 with three RBI for the Cardinals. |
Our View: 131 AB and just two home runs from Glaus? Simply amazing. Glaus continues to knock in runs despite a lack of the longball and he now has 24 RBI in 40 games for the Red Birds. The power is coming, just be patient.
|
|
|
|
| Nate McLouth's average continues to tumble, it's down to .305, but he hit his 10th home run of the season while knocking in his 30th and 31st runs of the season. |
Our View: The inevitable slowdown is starting with McLouth, but he has been so hot for so long his numbers are still tremendous, and he will likely be strongly considered for the all-star team if he keeps hitting like he has over the first quarter of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Ronny Paulino replaced on injured Ryan Doumit early in the game and he came up big at the plate with two hits, two runs and two RBI for the Pirates. |
Our View: We still don't have word on the extent of Doumit's injury (hand), but if Paulino is forced into an every day role he becomes an immediate pickup in leagues that start two catchers if he is still on waivers.
|
|
|
|
| Albert Pujols extended his hitting streak to 12-games on Tuesday night thanks to his 8th home run of the season. Pujols also walked twice and has now reached base in all 40 games he has played this season. |
Our View: Pujols is a machine as he keeps sticking to his approach at the plate despite 40 walks in 40 games. If he stays patient, he could bat .350 this season.
|
|
|
|
| Toronto DH Matt Stairs continues to hit well, putting his team in position for the 5-3 win this evening over Minnesota. Stairs went 1-for-1 with two walks at the plate, hitting his fifth home run of the year to add one RBI and two runs scored. |
Our View: Stairs has struggled a bit since leaving a strong month of April, going just 9-for-34 coming into tonight's game. This may help him get back on track.
|
|
|
|
| Toronto closer B.J. Ryan picked up his fourth win of the month of May and his sixth save of the season, helping the Jays put Minnesota down for the count, 5-3. Ryan pitched one inning, allowing one hit and one strikeout. |
Our View: That's Ryan's fourth save this month, making six total appearances without surrendering a single run.
|
|
|
|
| Toronto RHP Jesse Litsch didn't last too long into the game, but he earned the win and now stands at 5-1 on the season as the Blue Jays put the 5-3 win on the Minnesota Twins. Litsch pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up two runs on four hits with no walks and two strikeouts. |
Our View: Litsch now has three wins over his last four starts, though he's surrendered at least two runs in each.
|
|
|
|
| The Twins struggled to get the offense going this evening, suffering the 5-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, but leadoff man CF Carlos Gomez tried his best to improve the results. Gomez went 2-for-4 with his third home run of the season, totaling one RBI on the night. |
Our View: Gomez has turned it on in May, going 12-for-40 with seven RBIs and two homers in 10 games.
|
|
|
|
| Phil Dumatrait had his second straight strong start on Tuesday night as he held the Cardinals to three runs over six innings to pick up a no-decision. |
Our View: Dumatrait has 26 K versus 18 BB, so he will need to improve that horrible ratio if he has designs on keeping that ERA of his below 4.00 (it currently rests at 3.96).
|
|
|
|
| The Twins suffered the 5-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays this evening, giving RHP Kevin Slowey his third loss of the season. Slowey pitched 5 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs (all earned) on five hits, walking two and striking out 5. |
Our View: Slowey put forth a respectable effort and went two more innings than he has in his two previous starts, but the end result was the same.
|
|
|
|
| Kyle Lohse lasted seven innings on Tuesday night allowing four runs on just five hits and a walk in a no-decision. |
Our View: After 15 runs over his last 10 innings, this outing qualifies as a major success. Lohse will continue to be a potentially useful NL Only play, though he is best left to being a matchup starter in mixed leagues.
|
|
|
|
| The Tigers' offense is struggling to find answers as they suffer the 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals this evening, but 1B Miguel Cabrera continues his efforts to show the way despite the struggles. Cabrera went 2-for-2 this evening with two walks. |
Our View: Cabrera left April with a desire to improve, a struggle that is proving difficult in May: 10-for-41, one HR, three RBIs through 11 games this month.
|
|
|
|
| Tonight it was the Kansas City Royals emerging with the 3-2 win over Detroit, and it was DH Jose Guillen proving deadly with the bat to support the cause. Guillen is struggling with back spasms, yet he hit the batter's box and went 2-for-4 hitting two doubles to gather two RBIs. |
Our View: Guillen now touts 19 RBIs on the season and is really heating up at the plate, going 10-for-18 with five doubles over his last five games.
|
|
|
|
| Kansas City RHP Zack Greinke left with no decision in the Royals' 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers this evening, but his efforts continue to indicate the hurler is finally coming into this own. Greinke pitched six innings, allowing two runs (both earned) on nine hits with two walks and two strikeouts. |
Our View: Over his last five outings, Greinke has posted one win, one loss, and three no-decisions, yet he continues to work late into games and is giving his team a chance to compete.
|
|
|
|
| The Texas Rangers pulled the 5-2 victory over Seattle this evening, using a strong outing from catcher Gerald Laird as the guiding light for victory. Laird went 2-for-3 at the plate with a walk, adding three runs scored and one RBI. |
Our View: Check out Laird's numbers from May and it's hard not to be impressed: 10-for-30, three doubles, raising his average from .278 to .296.
|
|
|
|
| Seattle suffered the 5-2 loss to Texas this evening, but catcher Kenji Johjima continues to work towards better offerings. Today Johjima went 1-for-4 at the dish with his fifth double of the season, adding one RBI to an otherwise boring stat line. |
Our View: Over his past four games, the Seattle backstop has gone 8-for-16 with two doubles, three runs scored, and five RBIs.
|
|
|
|
| The Texas Rangers picked up the 5-2 win over the Seattle Mariners this evening, led by the effort of LHP Kason Gabbard . In his sixth start of the season, Gabbard pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs (both earned) on five hits with one walk and two strikeouts. |
Our View: Gabbard is not eating too many innings, but he's keeping the scores low and that is bringing positive results. He now has four no-decisions in a row, but at least the effort towards success is there.
|
|
|
|
| Russell Martin had three hits on Tuesday night to boost his batting average to .302 for the Dodgers. |
Our View: The average is there, but most of the other marks are a bit down this season including his home run, runs scored, RBI and SB pace, though to be fair, expecting another .293-19-87-87-21 season really wasn't that reasonable to begin with.
|
|
|
|
| The kid is a supreme talent, but Seattle RHP Felix Hernandez is learning that talent does not always equal success in the majors. Hernandez suffered his fourth loss of the season this evening as the Mariners fell 5-2 to the Texas Rangers, pitching six innings to give up three runs (two earned) on six hits with five walks and three strikeouts. |
Our View: This bring Felix to four consecutive losses, giving up 16 combined earned runs over that span.
|
|
|
|
| Ryan Braun continued his hot run of late with two more hits, and an RBI, on Tuesday night. |
Our View: Braun now has four home runs and six RBI over his past three games and he as posted at least two hits in 5-straight games to boost his average from .257 to .294. He may not match last years level of production, but Braun will be just fine by the end of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Bill Hall powered his ninth ball into the seats on Tuesday for the Brew Crew as he upped his average to .200. |
Our View: Nine home runs and 21 RBI are nice, but that .200 average has more than equalized that production. Hall continues to strikeout out at an alarming rate, he has 40 in 39 games, and will need to make better contact to provide solid overall value this season.
|
|
|
|
| The Yanks suffered a troublesome 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays after 11 innings this evening, a night that saw continued struggles for the bulk of an offense that managed just six hits and seven strikeouts. The top offender on the evening was 2B Robinson Cano , going 0-for-4, and while he failed to earn a single strikeout, he stranded four men on-base. |
Our View: His batting average also drops to .183, though he has worked hard to get that number up from the .151 mark he carried leaving April.
|
|
|
|
| Brad Penny had another rough outing on Tuesday as he allowed nine hits and five runs to pick up his fourth loss. Penny has now allowed a whopping 19 hits in his last 10.2 innings. |
Our View: Please tell us you didn't have Penny starting tonight. Penny has been getting by with some strong surface production the past few years despite some less than solid underlying numbers. He isn't this bad, but he also shouldn't be thought of as a guy who should have a 3.03 ERA either.
|
|
|
|
| Eric Gagne earned his 10th save on Tuesday night as he allowed one hit, one walk and no runs in the ninth inning just three days after he was demoted from the position. |
Our View: So much for the team going in another direction. This is one of the most infuriating aspects of fantasy baseball, that of the less than truthful manager who says one thing but does something else. The bullpen is a mess in Milwaukee, so they really need Gagne to come through. So much for those waiver wire claims for Salomon Torres, Gulliermo Mota and Brian Shouse.
|
|
|
|
| Give full credit to Tampa Bay RHP Edwin Jackson, for he gave the Rays all he had and held them in a game that fell in their favor after 11 innings. Jackson pitched seven innings, failing to allow a single run on five hits, posting one walk and five strikeouts. |
Our View: Jackson's name consistent gets mentioned as the team is enjoying a plethora of worthy young arms that need to be balanced with talent on the rise, but tonight shows he may be ready to take a big step forward.
|
|
|
|
| Khalil Greene went deep for the third time this season on Tuesday night on his way to three RBI for the Padres. |
Our View: Greene has gotten off to a very slow start after last years power breakout, so if you can there is likely still time to pry away Greene at a reasonable cost from a dissatisfied owner.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees suffered the heartbreaking 2-1 loss in 11 innings to the Tampa Bay Rays, but starter Chien-Ming Wang continues to prove his value. Tonight he left with no decision, pitching seven innings to allow one run on seven hits, walking three and striking out two. |
Our View: The struggles to balance strikeouts and walks continue, but Wang has been eating innings and keeping his team in the hunt.
|
|
|
|
| Alfonso Soriano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the Cubs 4-3 loss to the Padres. |
Our View: Soriano is now eight for his last 14 (.571) to help push his season long mark up to .243. Beyond that, it's nice to see him hitting the ball with authority once again.
|
|
|
|
| It took 11 innings to get the job done, but the Tampa Bay Rays emerged victorious 2-1 over the New York Yankees. Few of the batters let their best effort loose at the plate, but catcher Dioner Navarro went 2-for-3 with a walk, and while none of those offerings led to a run scored, they set the tone for a hard-fought win. |
Our View: Navarro is on a bit of a role, suffering just one strikeout over his last nine games, going 11-for-28 during that same span.
|
|
|
|
| Jason Marquis fell to 1-3 as he allowed 10 baserunners and four runs to the Padres in 5.2 innings. |
Our View: Marquis is what he is, and that is a servicable fifth starter. He'll likely push double digit wins if he stays in the rotation, but the rest of his numbers will probably be below average.
|
|
|
|
| Trevor Hoffman worked a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his seventh save of the season. |
Our View: Hoffman has lowered his ERA to 5.40 thanks to four appearances without a run allowed as he appears to have righted the ship. We would still like to see all the Hoffman owners also have Heath Bell on their bench just in case, but for now, Hoffman is back.
|
|
|
|
| Shawn Estes, the Padres new fifth starter, picked up his first victory since 2005 by holding the Cubs to two earned runs over 5.1 innings. |
Our View: Estes is a huge risk to show any type of consistency, so the smart money is on staying far away from him in all but the deepest of leagues.
|
|
|
|
| The Orioles got nice pitching, but they needed the offense to hold off the Boston Red Sox tonight for a 5-4 win. DH Luke Scott led the way, going 3-for-4 at the plate with his second home run of the season, taking Josh Beckett deep in the 3rd inning with two runners on base and two outs on the board. Scott left with three RBIs and two runs scored. |
Our View: Times have been rough for Scott since entering May, going 4-for-22 with one walk and eight strikeouts coming into tonight. This may signal a brighter day or two ahead.
|
|
|
|
| Jerry Hairston Jr., subbing for an injured Jeff Keppinger, went 2-for-3 with two runs scored for the Reds. |
Our View: With Keppenger likely out for at least a month with a broken kneecap, Hairston should be picked up in all NL Only leagues if he is still on waivers, especially given his ability to qualify in the outfield, at second base and at shortstop.
|
|
|
|
| The Baltimore Orioles fought to a rewarding 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox this evening, giving RHP Jeremy Guthrie his second win of the season. Guthrie pitched six innings, surrendering three runs (two earned) on eight hits with just one walk and seven strikeouts. |
Our View: Guthrie closed the book on April with consecutive losses, but he now owns two wins in three starts in May with a no-decision (laced with three walks versus six strikeouts) in between.
|
|
|
|
| Joey Votto hit his eighth home run of the season on Tuesday night for the Reds. |
Our View: Dusty Baker's faith in the youngster has paid off as Votto has made Scott Hatteberg useless in Cincy. Votto is now hitting .288-8-20 and is shaping up to be a fine corner infielder.
|
|
|
|
| Edinson Volquez improved to 6-1 thanks to holding the Marlins to a single run in six innings. Volquez also allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out five. |
Our View: With a fastball/changeup combo that makes him look like a right-handed Johan Santana, Volquez continues his march to the all-star game, an amazing statement to make for a guy who was 3-11 record and 7.20 ERA in his career before this season.
|
|
|
|
| Every player in the top half of the Boston batting order got on base this evening, but the end result was a disappointing 5-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Leading the way, as usual, was LF Manny Ramirez , going 2-for-4 at the plate with a walk, hitting his 12th double of the season to gather three total bases with one RBI and one run scored. |
Our View: ManRam now carries 27 RBIs on the season but has struggled since we've entered the month of May, touting an uncharacteristic 12 strikeouts versus just six walks. Tonight he had his head in the zone and is working towards correcting those problems.
|
|
|
|
| Mark Hendrickson suffered his second loss of the season as he allowed eight hits, five walks, and four runs in five innings to the Reds. |
Our View: Don't fool yourself here. Hendrickson belongs nowhere near a starting lineup in most mixed leagues as he just doesn't strike anyone out because of his soft stuff, which can lead to ratio warping efforts like tonight.
|
|
|
|
| The Red Sox got in hole early and were unable to bring it back, suffering the 5-4 loss to Baltimore. Ace Josh Beckett let the early innings get away, handed a 3-run lead in the first only to watch it fall as he surrendered five runs (all earned) on 11 hits over 5 2/3 innings of work. Beckett walked two, struck out five, but the end result was his third loss of the season. |
Our View: Beckett has been a puzzle during these early weeks but seems to have things back on track after consecutive wins to start the month of May, going deep in both with one walk and 13 strikeouts combined. Tonight shows he still has work to do.
|
|
|
|
| Ryan Zimmerman hit his sixth home run of the season on Tuesday though his average is still languishing at .239.We |
Our View: We warned you all preseason to be wary of Zimmerman early in the year because of those off-season wrist surgeries. The season still has a long way to go, but this certainly doesn't appear to be anything resembling a breakout year for Zimmerman.
|
|
|
|
| Brian Schneider had a three hit night on Tuesday to push his average up to .321. |
Our View: Schneider, out of the lineup of late due to a mysterious infection, is hitting at a fairly high rate for a guy who hasn't hit .260 since 2005. Beware of a regression here, though he should be a solid second catcher moving forward.
|
|
|
|
| The Indians pulled the 4-0 win over Oakland this evening and it was 1B Ryan Garko providing the comfort in that final score. Garko went 1-for-4 at the plate, the one hit coming in the form of a three-run homer in the 8th inning to secure the win. |
Our View: Garko hit the month of May hitting just .224, but he has surged since, going 8-for-32 to get his average to .250.
|
|
|
|
| Billy Wagner extended his run of scoreless innings to 15.2 on Tuesday as he picked up his eighth save against the Nationals. |
Our View: Wagner has 18 K and just three walks on the year, and he has been as dominating as he pretty much always has been. Wagner has been overlooked the past few years because he hasn't produced any huge save seasons, but few are more consistent.
|
|
|
|
| The Indians didn't shock the world with a offensive explosion, but the hits needed were there to secure the 4-0 shutout victory over Oakland. DH Travis Hafner seems to have responded to the slight move up in the order, going 2-for-4 at the dish with one RBI and one run scored. |
Our View: Hafner has slumped in recent weeks, but he was moved to the 5th spot in the order with hopes of lighting a fire to get him going. Thus far, the results are positive.
|
|
|
|
| John Lannan allowed 12 hits, one walk and four runs in six innings to fall to 3-4 on the year. |
Our View: Lanna had a 2.17 ERA in his last five starts before tonight, a trend that was reversed in a hurry in this outing. Lannan has allowed 53 hits in 45.2 innings leading to a 1.55 WHIP, so it's not like you should have been fooled into thinking he was an every week starter.
|
|
|
|
| John Maine improved to 5-2 on the year thanks to six innings of two hit, one run ball against the Nationals. |
Our View: Maine has now lowered his ERA to 2.81 thanks to seven straight starts of two or fewer earned runs allowed marking him as one of the more consistent hurlers in the early going.
|
|
|
|
| While the offense for Oakland failed to show, the right arm of starter Justin Duchscherer was working just fine. Duchscherer pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on four hits, walking two and striking out six. |
Our View: However, the talented hurler suffers his second loss of the year due to a horrific offensive effort from his teammates, and while his ERA drops to 2.20, this two-game win streak comes to an abrupt end.
|
|
|
|
| Ryan Church continues to be the Mets most consistent offensive player as he had two more hits, including his eighth home run of the year, in addition to four RBI. |
Our View: Who would have thought Church was capable of this type of production? Given his history no sane person would have considering he is on pace to hit more than 30 HR with over 100 RBI. If he continues to hit second in the Mets order, even when he slows down, he should still be able to produce a boatload of runs.
|
|
|
|
| The offense was unable to solve the arm of Cleveland starter Paul Byrd, leaving Oakland with a 4-0 loss and a lack of players to note. On the bright side, CF Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-2 at the plate, the only player to post multiple hits on a night when no player in green and gold managed to get past first base. |
Our View: Sweeney is slowly but surely getting the batting average up, starting at .268 entering May and now sitting at .279.
|
|
|
|
| Mark Kotsay went 0-for-3 but he scored two runs for the Braves. |
Our View: Kotsay is hitting .342 with nine runs scored in 10 May games forcing himself back into all NL Only fantasy lineups.
|
|
|
|
| Not ready to let the dream die, Chipper Jones had another three hits on Tuesday to push his average back up to .415. |
Our View: At some point this will all come crashing to a halt, but with the way that Chipper is locked in right now it might take an injury to derail him as pitchers are having no luck whatsoever in slowing him down.
|
|
|
|
| Jo-Jo Reyes had a poor outing on Tuesday night as he permitted 11 hits and five runs in 6.2 innings for the Braves. |
Our View: Reyes now has a 4.30 ERA after three starts, though with 20 hits allowed in 14.2 innings we are a bit worried about his ability to stay productive moving forward making him best left for spot duty in NL Only leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Oakland and Cleveland locked horns this evening, and while the offense was more than enough for a 4-0 win for Cleveland, it was the work of RHP Paul Byrd that ruled the night. Byrd pitched 7 1/3 innings, shutting the A's out with no runs earned on just five hits. |
Our View: To add to the pleasure, Byrd failed to walk a single batter and struck out seven, good for his second win of the year.
|
|
|
|
| Brad Lidge picked up his 10th save of the season though he allowed his first earned runs of the season to see his ERA rise to 0.50. |
Our View: Lidge has had a remarkable turnaround this season so we can easily forgive a poor outing like tonight. Bottom line is that he nailed down the save, and that's what he gets paid to do.
|
|
|
|
| Shane Victorino had two hits, a run scored and his sixth stolen base of the season on Tuessday. |
Our View: Victorino improved his average to .240 tonight, but he has to star running more to reward those owners who selected him this season given that he has attempted only seven steals in 26 games.
|
|
|
|
| Jayson Werth had three hits on Tuesday night leading to four RBI for the Phillies. |
Our View: Werth continues to see ample playing time despite the return of Shane Victorino though he will likely need to do better than his current .250 average in 28 May AB to keep that factor tilted in his direction.
|
|
|
|
| Jeff Keppinger fouled a ball off his knee and the report was terrible as the early season hitting star fractured his left kneecap, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Keepinger will go on the DL with a .324 batting average and an MRI scheduled for Wednesday to see if there is anything else wrong in the knee. The team will now have to hope that Alex Gonzalez can make it back to the field soon as they will likely be forced to go with Jerry Hairston and possibly Paul Janish.
|
|
|
|
| There were rumors floating that rookie Clayton Kershaw might be called up to pitch on Sunday, but he will not be, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. Chan Ho Park of Hong-Chih Kuo will likely make the start. |
Our View: Kershaw will not be allowed to throw more 170 innings this year, and with such a strict limit to his activities, even if he is called up at some point, one would have to think that his impact could be less than hoped for if the Dodgers are super vigilant with his workload.
|
|
|
|
| Manuel Corpas will remain with the Rockies though the possibility of sending him to the minors is still possible, according to MLB.com. "It's still the inconsistency of repeating his delivery and maintaining a consistent arm slot," Hurdle said. "But he had two solid outings before that, so I think that's going to keep him in play. I'm confident we'll find a way to keep him moving forward." |
Our View: Corpas has been scored on in 10 of his last 18 outing with 27 hits allowed in his last 19.2 innings as he seems pretty lost on the hill. Brian Funetes owners can feel confident in their man.
|
|
|
|
| Ryan Doumit injured the thumb on his left hand while receiving a pitch behind the plate and had to be removed from the game, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Ronny Paulino took over. |
Our View: There is no word yet on the severity of the injury which comes at an awful time considering that Doumit is hitting .350 on the year.
|
|
|
