Rarity: Cubs with 4 and 3 hits, just 1 run scored By JohnW53 on May 13, 2021, 9:58am CDT + Willson Contreras had 4 hits for the Cubs and Joc Pederson had 3. That made it only the Cubs fourth game in the entire Modern Era, 1901-2021, in which one of their players had 4 or more hits, another had at least 3, yet the Cubs scored no more than 1 run. ......... MEMORABLE YEAR The first was way back on Aug. 22, 1908, when the Cubs lost at home to the Doves, todays Braves, 3-1, in 15 inn...

Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports Inconsistency has been the hallmark of the Dodgers offense this season, but Saturday night came out on the positive end of the spectrum. The scoring in the Dodgers’ most prolific inning of the season began with a painful spark, and helped build a cushion against a terrible bullpen in a 14-11 win over the Angels in Anaheim. Neither team had a hit through the first three innings, but after a Mookie Betts walk to open the fourth, Corey Seager singled to put runn...

“You don’t want that to happen, but I think beggars can’t be choosers right now,” Mookie Betts said. “We’ll take any win that we can get.” Betts drove in a season-high four runs and the Dodgers held on for a 14-11 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night, snapping their four-game losing streak in hair-raising fashion. “We needed a win, so there was a lot more good that came out of tonight than bad,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. But the highest-scoring game i...

May 7, 2021 The news was as abrupt as a mid-afternoon tweet, and yet long overdue: On Thursday, the Angels designated Albert Pujols for assignment. The 41-year-old Pujols is a no-doubt Hall of Famer, one of four players to attain the dual milestones of 3,000 hits and 600 home runs. But he’s now a month into his fifth season of sub-replacement level production, an impediment to improving a team that needs all the help it can get to overcome a league-worst defense as it scrambles to return to ...

May 7, 2021 Welcome to The Opener, where every weekday morning you’ll get a fresh, topical column to start your day from one of SI.com ’s MLB writers. Albert Pujols’s days as a feared slugger are long gone, just like the home runs he used to blast with regularity. With the 41-year-old posting career-worst offensive marks across the board this year and owning a slash line of .240/.289/.405 since 2017, it was time for the Angels to shut down The Machine and let him restart his Hall of Fame ...

SALT LAKE CITY — Much like everyone in the world, last year threw baseball players quite a curveball. Spring training was nearing its end by the time sports shut down over concerns of the coronavirus spreading. When Major League Baseball restarted in the summer, teams were only allowed to have 60 players on their "player pool." There was no minor league baseball. It left guys like Utah native, BYU alumnus and Salt Lake Bees outfielder Brennon Lund temporarily out of a job. For players lucky e...

SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake Bees havent played a game in over 600 days but there will be some familiar faces when the team trots out onto the field Thursday. The team on Monday announced its 2021 Opening Day lineup. Among the names: former Angels top prospect Jo Adell, MLB veteran Jon Jay and Utah native and BYU alumnus Brennon Lund. Adell was previously the Angels top prospect and a Top 10 overall minor league prospect, according to MiLB Pipeline, until he graduated from the list in 2020....
