White Sox starter Edwin Jackson was stung for seven earned runs on twelve hits and four walks and struck out three over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Tigers on Saturday.
Jackson didn't give up a run in the first three innings but really struggled in his final three frames. Jackson owns a 4.88 ERA and 1.56 WHIP this season but has really struggled to keep runners off the bases lately, allowing 30 hits over his past three starts.

Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens took a no-decision on Thursday, allowing one run over six innings while giving up seven hits, walking two and striking out six.
It was a solid encore to the seven scoreless innings Jurrjens fired against the Mets in his season debut. The 13 strikeouts in 13 innings are a great sign (and) the right-hander was able to throw 111 pitches in the contest.

Rays right-hander Kyle Farnsworth came on with the bases loaded on Saturday and retired three out of the four batters he faced to earn his fifth save of the season.
Farnsworth had to come on and put out another pitcher's fire for the first time this season and he looked good doing so, needing just five pitches to record three outs. The 35-year-old has a 1.23 ERA and has become manager Joe Maddon's preferred choice for save opportunities.

D'backs starting pitcher Armando Galarraga pushed his record to 3-0 on Tuesday against the Reds, allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six in six frames.
After laboring through three innings, Galarraga retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced. "He threw the ball better," said D-backs manager Kirk Gibson. "The first few innings he wasn't doing what we wanted him to do. He wasn't executing. I almost took him out. The way he finished, that's the best he's looked. We expect him to do that." The flawless record is deceiving as the right-hander carries a hefty 6.00 ERA through three starts. But the D'backs have given him all the run support he needs, averaging eight runs when he takes the mound. Galarraga is scheduled to start next against the Mets on April 24 in New York.

Astros closer Brandon Lyon blew a save but also picked up a win as he tossed two innings, giving up one earned run on two hits while walking two and striking out one against the Brewers on Saturday night.
After Lyon blew his second save of the season in the ninth, the Astros rallied in the 10th and he returned to finish it off in the tenth. Lyon has been shaky at best early on this season.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel gave third baseman Placido Polanco a day off on Saturday.
Wilson Valdez started at third base and Pete Orr started at second base.

Third base man Placido Polanco went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the Phillies win over the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon.
Polanco's three-run homer in the sixth inning erased a 3-0 deficit and woke up a slumping Phillies offense. The veteran infielder is batting a blistering .352 through his first 17 games of the season.
April 24, 2011 at 1:18 AM ET
Outfielder Cameron Maybin went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk in the Padres' loss to the Phillies on Saturday night.
Maybin rewarded manager Bud Black for an assignment to the leadoff spot, reaching base in his first three plate appearances. The speedy center fielder is batting .260 on the year.
April 23, 2011 at 7:24 PM ET
Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff went 0-for-4 on Saturday in a loss to the Braves, lowering his batting average to .213.
Huff is 4-for-29 (.138) in his last eight games. The 34-year-old has been fortunate to drive in five runs and score three four over that span and despite his poor hitting he has managed to drive in 13 runs in 20 games.
April 20, 2011 at 10:33 PM ET
Curtis Granderson went 2-for-4, homered, drove in two runs and scored twice on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
Granderson is as hot as any hitter in baseball right now, with homers in three straight games and four long balls in his last five contests. Despite only nine RBIs on six total dingers this season, the 30-year-old has exceeded expectations thus far.

MLB | Will take over Dodgers

Major League Baseball will take over operations for the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to ESPNLosAngeles.com. "The Dodgers have been one of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, and we owe it to their legion of loyal fans to ensure that this club is being operated properly now and will be guided appropriately in the future," stated commissioner Bud Selig.

Rays designated hitter Johnny Damon went 1-for-4, homered and drove in three runs on Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Damon has four home runs and 17 RBIs in Tampa Bay's first 21 games, making him one of this season's most unlikely sources of power production. Since the 37-year-old hasn't driven in 90 runs in a season since 2004 there is a strong chance that his pace is going to slow down.
GO TIGERS! ---Rob
