Bat flips happen, whether you want them to or not.

In the past century, no pitcher has started a career quite like the Dodgers’ Kenta Maeda. Even Coors Field could not slow down the 28-year-old Japan native on Saturday night, as he took a no-hitter into the sixth and finished with 6 1/3 scoreless innings in a 4-1 win over the Rockies.

One day after the D-backs and Pirates combined for 28 hits, strong pitching from Arizona starter Rubby De La Rosa and Pittsburgh starter Juan Nicasio was the early story in the D-backs’ 7-1 victory on Saturday at Chase Field.

A career outing and perhaps one of the best starts in team history from right-hander Tanner Roark helped guide the Nationals to a 2-0 victory Saturday afternoon against the Twins. And who does Minnesota have to look forward to on Sunday? Stephen Strasburg.

Colby Rasmus finally got the big hits the Astros have been waiting for, launching a go-ahead grand slam in the fifth inning and driving in five total runs to propel Houston to an 8-3 win over the Red Sox on Saturday afternoon in Minute Maid Park. The victory snapped the Astros’ four-game losing streak and backed up Mike Fiers’ 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball on the mound.

That’s a lot of backs.

NFL MVP takes in a ballgame.

White Sox catcher Alex Avila felt his right hamstring tighten running to second base in the sixth inning of Saturday’s 4-3 walk-off win over the Rangers in 11 innings, and he immediately felt frustrated.

The play of the day in the Rangers’ 4-3 loss to the White Sox was outfielder Nomar Mazara’s catch in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Rangers and the White Sox were tied, 3-3, with two outs when Todd Frazier drove a ball to deep right field. Mazara jumped up and caught the ball, possibly taking away a game-winning home run.
