Brayan Pena‘s attempt to stretch a single into a double in the 9th inning drew a throw from the outfield and allowed Jarrod Dyson to score from third with the game-winning run in the Royals’ 4-3 result over the Brewers tonight. It was Kansas City’s second unusual walkoff victory in as many nights, as they [...]
As expected Alexi Ogando‘s groin injury has led him to the disabled list, where he joins Rangers starters Neftali Feliz and Derek Holland, the latter of whom he replaced in the rotation last week. There’s no word yet on who’ll fill in for Ogando, but the Rangers called up left-hander Michael Kirkman from Triple-A and…
Roy Oswalt‘s second minor-league start involved giving up a grand slam to Royals stud prospect Wil Myers on the way to allowing five runs in four innings at Triple-A. He’ll move down a level to Double-A for his third tune-up outing tomorrow night and if things go well he could be on the verge of…
Part of the fun for fans watching interleague series games is getting to see things they normally wouldn’t. For example, American League pitchers racing down the baseline is not something fans always get to see. In San Francisco, the Rangers’ … [visit site to read more] Texas Rangers Likely to Lose Alexi Ogando to Strained [...]
Apparently it’s the new in thing; get a no-hitter going and then exit with a groin strain. Of course, Alexi Ogando today was only three innings along in his outing against the Giants, not six innings like Kevin Millwood on Friday. And Ogando wasn’t going to last all that much longer anyway; the 28-year-old was…
Tag-team no-hitters, oh my. The Seattle Mariners’ pitching staff authored what has to be one of the weirdest no-hitters in Major League history Friday night when Kevin Millwood and five relievers combined to stop the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bats cold in a 1-0 win. Millwood was the lead singer and the other quintet was the [...]
The Rangers could use Roy Oswalt now. Yesterday even. He just can’t pitch like he did yesterday: dude gave up five runs on six hits over four innings including a grand slam by Royals’ prospect Wil Myers in the Round Rock-Omaha game. Here’s video of the Myers grand slam. To be fair, Myers is gonna do…
Texas’ rotation took another hit today, as the Rangers placed Derek Holland on the disabled list with “left shoulder fatigue.” He’s also lost 15 pounds in the past two weeks while dealing with a stomach virus. To replace Holland on the roster they called up hard-throwing relief prospect Tanner Scheppers from Triple-A, where the 2009…
Making his 2012 debut after signing with the Rangers earlier this week, Roy Oswalt threw 34 pitches in two scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Oswalt gave up a single, a walk and an infield single to start the game, but he got out of that jam with a strikeout and a double-play…
For a guy known as one of the quickest workers between pitches in the majors, it sure took Roy Oswalt close to forever to find a place to throw them. The right-handed free agent finally landed with the Texas Rangers the other day and if, after a period of get-back-in-shape starts in AAA Oswalt can [...]
