With so many players in the Astros’ starting lineup struggling — the bottom four in the order entered Sunday hitting .214 or below, including three sub-.200 averages — Astros manager A.J. Hinch said the team is keeping tabs on what’s happening at Triple-A Fresno.

Byron Buxton has been swinging a hot bat since being sent to Triple-A Rochester on April 25, but Twins manager Paul Molitor said there’s no timetable for when he’ll be called back up.

Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun missed a second straight start Sunday with a sore right wrist and underwent an examination with head team physician William Raasch.

Robin Ventura didn’t want the attention. That fact hasn’t changed almost three decades later. But there he was as a 19-year-old sophomore, fighting for a College World Series title in Omaha, Neb., with his 1987 Oklahoma State squad, while much of the focus was placed upon his collegiate-record hitting streak.

Albert Pujols ripped a three-run homer in the top of the ninth as the Angels beat Mariners closer Steve Cishek for a second straight night with a roller-coaster, 9-7, win on Saturday night at Safeco Field.

Drew Stubbs hit a walk-off homer in the 10th inning as the Rangers overcame a blown save by Shawn Tolleson to take a 6-5 victory over the Blue Jays on Saturday night at Globe Life Park.

Scott Kazmir was one out away from his first complete game in three years when Jeremy Hazelbaker’s two-run homer ruined the narrative, but the lefty’s seven-strikeout gem on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium was enough to give the Dodgers a 5-3 win and a shot at a series sweep of the Cardinals.

A big early rally enabled the Rockies to build a six-run lead in the third and carried them to a 7-4 win over the Mets on Saturday night at Coors Field.

Close to 30 minutes after Emmanuel Burriss borrowed his glove to field some grounders, 13-year-old Francisco Dotor was still a bit shellshocked.

Padres first baseman Wil Myers left Saturday’s game in the ninth inning with a left calf cramp. Myers hit a home run in the fifth inning.

Wait, where did he go?

Rookie Trevor Story and his prolific home runs became the Majors’ most surprising narrative during the first month of the 2016 season. But is the Rockies’ shortstop — or fellow rookie Corey Seager of the Dodgers — deserving of a starring role in the 2016 All-Star Game on July 12 in San Diego?

When Phillies leftfielder Tyler Goeddel broke back on pinch-hitter Jordan Pacheco’s fly ball, it seemed that the game would be tied and that Cincinnati was still well-positioned to take the lead.

When Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner took a detour from their route to Dodger Stadium on Saturday for some pick-up game participation, they not only surprised the kids from the Boys & Girls Club of Venice as part of Major League Baseball’s Play Ball Weekend but also taught those kids a lesson about the game’s picturesque portability.
