Scherzer hits his first major league homer, a no doubter in Miami. Then leaves with an apparent neck injury the next inning. Could have strained it while high fiving in the dugout.
KC must be kicking themselves. They have lost two to the lowly 0s and could Be tied for first if not for Showalter.
the Royals became complete pumpkins when going to Camden Yards. O's actually still kinda in it...
Old fashioned Coors-fest going on in Colorado. The Rockies scored the first 5, the Mets have scored the last 10. It's the 6th inning.
7 shutout innings, 3 hits, 1 BB, 10 K's, 99 pitches for Darvish in his LA debut. 6-0 Dodgers over the Mets in the 8th.
Colon pitched a 106-pitch CG tonight in a 8-4 win against Texas. oldest player to pitch a CG since Ryan in '92.
The Dodgers have won 43 of their last 50 games. I am no quant but I believe that is a win percentage in excess of 85.9%.

Anibal Sanchez allowed 8 runs in 3 innings to the Orioles on Sunday, raising his ERA to 6.62. Even before that performance, Sanchez, Zimmermann & Verlander had a combined WAR of 1.9 while getting paid a total of $62.8 million this season. The Tigers are also paying Prince Fielder $6 million each season through 2020... and yet that's still better value than they're getting out of Sanchez.

If the season ended today, the Dodgers would have the fourth-best winning percentage of the past century, just behind the 1954 Indians (111-43), the 2001 Mariners (116-46), and the 1927 Yankees (110-44)
Which also conveniently eliminates the 1906 Cubs (116-36 .763) and 1909 Pirates (110-42 .724) in modern baseball history (since 1901 when the AL was founded). Pirates did win the WS, Cubs lost to their crosstown rivals.
An injury that would make the late Chris Borwn jealous
ATLANTA -- Rookie shortstop Johan Camargo suffered a hyperextended right knee while jogging onto the field before Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Camargo was taking the field when his right knee appeared to lock as he reached down to grab a handful of dirt or touch the chalk on the first-base line. He fell to the ground on the infield grass.

Was at this game last night sitting just past 3B. When the Braves took the field I saw him go down and assumed he was just laughing at himself for tripping over the baseline. Then when he grabbed at his leg I pointed it out to the guys I was with and none of us could believe it. Looked like a nothing injury that they are now calling a bone bruise and out for a DL stint.
Throwing in today's current 3/3, over his last 32 games, Stanton is slashing .328/.439/.922 in 139 PA. Kinda puts into perspective just how sick Barry Bonds was.
Bryce Harper's leg went out from under him as he hit the bag at first trying to beat out a hard grounder to the first baseman. He had to be helped off the field after being on the ground in obvious pain.
If only he'd been dogging it.
