Andrew McCutchen's two-run home run in the ninth inning secured a 5-2 win for the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field on Thursday.

A second straight offensive burst carried the American League-leading Boston Red Sox to a punishing 12-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.

Seattle's starting pitcher Doug Fister pitched a beauty but the Mariners offense came up empty resulting in a 1-0 loss to the San Diego Padres. The Padre's lone run came after Fister walked San Diego's center fielder Cameron Maybin on apparently only three balls.

The Yankees have some solid players in the minors.

The Red Sox and Yankees are in the heat of the race midway through the season, while the Rays continue to stick around.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval recently came back from an injury to his hand. The injury kept Sandoval out of the lineup for over a month.

One would think, considering that the Mets have lost 14 of their last 19 games in Atlanta, that gamesmanship wouldn't be necessary for the Braves. Think again.

The Yankees and the Mets are both carrying dead wood at this point. The fans are getting restless and the media smells blood as the hole gets deeper for Jason Bay and Jorge Posada. How long will the management of the two MLB teams absorb the poor performances of their weakest links?

It's never good to have a position player get banged up, and the options for the Yankees to replace Mark Teixeira at first base--Jorge Posada or Nick Swisher, most likely--don't particularly excite, given their recent struggles at the plate. But the Teixeira injury means something more.

The New York Yankees figured out how to beat Seattle ace Felix Hernandez, but still couldn't beat the Mariners as they dropped their second game in a row, 5-4.

Murphy's home run, Turner's RBI double were all Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey needed to beat the New York Yankees 2-1.

The motto for the 2010 San Francisco Giants certainly applied to Madison Bumgarner for the first part of the 2011 season, but the torture is over, as the San Francisco Giants starting pitcher showed championship form in getting his first win of the season.

Dillon Gee shut out the Washington Nationals for six and 2/3 innings and Justin Turner drove in a run with a single to center field to give the New York Mets a 1-0 win this afternoon at Citi Field.

The A's could have saved a few of last night's runs for tonight. One night after putting up 14 run against the Angels, Oakland's offensive woes continued, managing only one earned run over and losing to the Twins 4-3 in 10 innings.

The injury-riddled New York Mets earned a 3-0 victory over the Washington Nationals in the rain last night behind the efforts of starting pitcher Jon Niese and the bat of Jose Reyes.
