Baseball’s third no-hitter this season means more free Domino’s pizza. The Phillies, who combined also no-hit the Braves on Labor Day 2014 to bring free pizza, registered another #DomiNoNo on Saturday at Wrigley Field. It was the 13th no-no in Phillies history and the first at Wrigley since 1972.

Randy Johnson never shied away from showing emotion when he was on the mound, as he has admitted, and not just intensity, but anger as well.

Baseball’s biggest legends have welcomed Craig Biggio into their select fraternity, and Biggio will join the club when he’s inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Randy Johnson on Sunday.

For this weekend, Craig Biggio will be mentioned dozens, if not hundreds, of times with his fellow Hall of Fame inductees: Randy Johnson, John Smoltz and Pedro Martinez. But there is really only one player whom Biggio will forever be linked to, now, and 100 years from now: Jeff Bagwell, his teammate for 15 years during the most fruitful era of the Astros’ 50-plus year history.

Pedro Martinez was beaming on the eve of his monumental day, and for reasons deeper than the pitching dominance that paved his way to the Hall of Fame. For Martinez, Sunday’s induction isn’t merely about him, but his country.

There have been words of encouragement from Tom Seaver and coffee with George Brett. There was a fireside chat with Gaylord Perry and a stroll down memory lane with Bobby Cox.

Phil Hughes pitched seven strong innings to best his former club while Miguel Sano paced a four-homer barrage, helping the Twins defeat the Yankees, 10-1, on Friday evening in the opener of a three-game series at Target Field.

Charlie Blackmon was rewarded for aggressive baserunning in the ninth inning when he scored on a wild pitch as the Rockies sent the Reds to their fifth loss in the last seven games, 6-5, on Friday night at Coors Field.

Justin Turner rapped out three extra-base hits against his old team and rookie Ian Thomas thrived in Zack Greinke’s absence on Friday night at Citi Field, as the Dodgers scored a 7-2 victory over a Mets club waiting for its offense to arrive.

Jimmy Nelson hurled seven scoreless innings, Francisco Rodriguez preserved his saves streak and the Brewers topped the D-backs, 2-1, on Friday night at Chase Field.

Newly acquired left-hander Scott Kazmir made his Houston Astros debut a memorable one, tossing seven shutout innings in a 4-0 win over the Royals on a sweltering night (109 heat index) at Kauffman Stadium.

If he were to be graded on his first impression, Scott Kazmir would certainly receive an “A” from his admiring new Astros’ teammates.

With the Trade Deadline approaching and available pitching being actively shopped in the marketplace, Yankees starter Michael Pineda offered the kind of outing that could provide GM Brian Cashman with some food for thought, allowing five runs in a 10-1 loss to the Twins on Friday night.

A night after homering to left field, Pedro Alvarez launched a two-run shot off Nationals ace Max Scherzer all the way out of PNC Park in right-center on Friday and bounced it into the Allegheny River, giving the Pirates a lead in the second inning en route to a 7-5 win.

Tim Beckham’s two-run single off Darren O’Day drove home two to cap the Rays’ three-run eighth and led Tampa Bay to a 3-1 win over the Orioles on Friday night at Tropicana Field.

One day after the trade season officially kicked off with the A’s sending left-hander Scott Kazmir to Houston, buzz is heating up before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.

Xander Bogaerts and the Red Sox had little patience for a replay review of the play that snapped their eight-game losing streak on Friday.
