Rays win 11th in a row, score 7 in 11th to beat Toronto 14-8 Associated Press DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) — Francisco Mejía hit a tiebreaking, two-run single during a seven-run burst in the 11th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays won their 11th straight game, outlasting the Toronto Blue Jays 14-8 on Monday. Tampa Bay moved within one win of the team record for consecutive victories. In 2004, playing as the Devil Rays, they won 12 in a row under manager Lou Piniella. After both teams scored twice in the 10th to make it 7-all, the Rays erupted. Mejía’s hit came off Joel Payamps (0-2) with the bases loa...

Scroll By Michael Clair@michaelsclair 12:04 PM EDT Ever since Chris Von der Ahe, the owner of the St. Louis Browns of the American Association (who, confusingly enough, became the Cardinals of today) started selling hot dogs at the ballpark in the 1880s, stuffing your face has been just as big a part of going to the game as the action on the field. But we are a long, long, long way away from those early days when some tubed meat plopped between bread was enough. Heck, even ballpark nachos -- those crispy chips and nuclear powered-cheese, which were invented in 1976 -- look like quaint home c...

MLB Trade Rumors The A’s placed J.B. Wendelken on the injured list with a strained left oblique today, per the team. They recalled Jordan Weems to take his spot in the bullpen. Wendelken has been a major player out of the A’s bullpen so far this season, appearing in 15 games and tossing 12 1/3 innings with a 4.38 ERA/3.09 FIP, 43.6 percent groundball rate, 24.1 percent strikeout rate, and 8.6 percent walk rate. A too-high .368 BABIP has negatively affected Wendelken’s bottom line so far this season. His fastball velocity has been down to 93.3 mph, and he’s gotten very few hitters to...

Happy Birthday Marcus Stroman, Roy Lee Jackson, Charlie Moore Share this story We have a few former Blue Jays with birthdays today. Marcus Stroman turns 30 today. Marcus first came up to the Jays on May 3, 2014. Brandon Morrow went on the DL with a torn tendon sheath in a finger on his right hand, and Marcus got his roster spot. For most of that, May Marcus pitched out of the bullpen. He made his first MLB start May 31, getting the win, pitching 6 innings of 1 run ball. He threw a shutout on September 8 against the Cubs, allowing 3 hits, no walks with 8 strikeouts.

April 2021 Photo Contest Winner and Review Published 3 hours ago WINNER: Sturgeon in the overflight by Markus Schmidt Wow! A record breaking month with loads of incredible images, both macro and wide angle, from all around the world.  When judging any underwater photography competition, the first thing I do is ask of each image: Is it in focus? The main subject has to be pin sharp. Is it exposed correctly? I then look at lighting (photography is all about light) and composition. Backscatter, hot spots of light, messy backgrounds: all might see your image lose out. Then there are other cons...
