I learned a new baseball rule tonight thanks to the Las Vegas 51s and the El Paso Chihuahuas. In the top of the seventh inning, 51s first baseman Eric Campbell fouled one towards the dugout. Thing is, he hit it with such a serious curve that it sliced right back into play before it passed first base...

Rougned Odor Slaps Walk-Off Dinger, Stares Down Edwin Diaz
Rougned Odor spent the Rangers’ game against the Mariners tonight messing with Dae-ho Lee, hitting the ball over the field, and futzing around on the basepath.

Diving Scorpion Kick Goals Are The Best Goals
Normally, the uniformly terrible music soccer highlight makers afflict upon their videos detracts from the action on display.
