In his third start after opening the season as a reliever for the Blue Jays, the right-hander was as good as Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish in a 3-1 victory Thursday night. Both starters allowed only one run over seven innings, and the Blue Jays got the tiebreaki...

Berkman hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning after an odd double play erased the potential go-ahead run at third base, and the Rangers beat Cleveland 6-3 Monday night to hand the Indians their eighth...

If someone says there was a mix of cheers the first time the Los Angeles Angels slugger stepped into the batter's box against his former team, he's not buying it. "Where were you sitting at?"
