Since they were selected third and fourth overall in the 2011 Draft, respectively, the career paths of Indians righty Trevor Bauer and Orioles righty Dylan Bundy have taken drastically different routes to Friday’s showdown at Camden Yards. Bauer entered with 77 more career starts than Bundy, but it was Bundy who pitched like the more experienced pro in a 5-1 Baltimore win.

While it’s not clear if a deal can be completed before the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Rangers are “making a serious run” for White Sox left-hander Chris Sale, MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan reported Friday, citing Major League sources.

“Hopefully” was the term most frequently used as the Braves exited Friday night’s 4-3 loss to the Rockies concerned about their ace, Julio Teheran, who had exited in the fifth inning with upper back discomfort that could disappear in a couple of days or linger long enough to require a stint on the disabled list.

When it comes to Ichiro Suzuki’s quest for 3,000 MLB hits, history will take its course.

Ender Inciarte’s name has been linked to trade rumors dating back to the night the Braves acquired him as part of the blockbuster package gained from the D-backs in December.

Thousands travel to Cooperstown every year for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and for just about everyone who doesn’t already live in the upstate New York area, the trek can be time-consuming.

Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, and two Pirates will be closely tied to the man they used to call “The Kid.”

Mike Trout and Jose Altuve have sparred as division rivals and have played together on four All-Star teams, growing a little closer each time. Trout is effusive in his praise for the second baseman, saying, “He hits everything.”
