Some nuggets around Major League Baseball right now you should be aware of:
Mat Latos reported tightness in his right hip on Monday's start, cited as
the reason he left the game. Latos is proving key to the Reds, with two
wins, 37 Ks and a sparkling 1.83 ERA.
Carlos Gomez is boasting a slash line of .360/.415/.616 with Milwaukee these days. The rangy center fielder has 5 homers and 12 RBI this season, making some think he is making a move towards elite status.
Matt Cain has yet to find his footing in San Francisco this season. No wins, and an eye popping 6.49 ERA hang like an albatross on the starting pitcher. Still, it's a good bet that Cain will shake these troubles off and settle down.
Josh Hamilton is unable to hit home runs unless he plays the Astros this season. No word on whether or not those terrible stripey vintage jerseys are the key. Seriously, what is going on with this guy? He went 0-8 with a sac fly Monday and now has an average of only .202. Unsettling.
The best closer in the league is... Jason Grilli? The Pittsburgh reliever is in a four way tie for most saves in the league with 10. He shares this with Jim Johnson, Sergio Romo, and our own Mariano Rivera. But he has more strikeouts (17) than any of them, and his 0.82 ERA is only worse than Johnson's inhuman 0.64 by a microscopic sliver.
Slade Heathcott is in the news too. We want to give Bronx Baseball Daily a shout out for their interview with Slade. Read that HERE. Good work!
If you like this... we'll bring more to you over the season. Let us know.
