Sat Apr 24 2021 | 00:50 | A's run winning streak to 12, beating Orioles 3-1 |
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Oakland Athletics won their 12th consecutive game — their longest winning streak in almost two decades — with a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Oakland’s string is its longest since it won a franchise-record 20 in a row in 2002. It is the Athletics’ third-longest winning streak since moving to Oakland in 1968, and is the longest in the majors since Houston’s 12-game run from June 6-18, 2018. Ramón Laureano homered and Cole Irvin won consecutive starts for the first time in nearly two years as the A’s improved to 13-1 since dropping their first six games. Baltimore has lost seven of its eight home games. Irvin (2-2) had won back-to-back starts just once before, his first two career starts for Philadelphia in May 2019. Coming off six shutout innings against Detroit on Saturday, he stymied the Orioles for five innings. But Baltimore stitched together four singles in the sixth, capped by Pedro Severino’s RBI single, to end Irvin’s night. Jake Diekman... [ More] |

Sun Apr 4 2021 | 03:17 | Feisty Reds top Cardinals 9-6 for 1st win of season |
CINCINNATI (AP) — Nick Castellanos stood over, flexed and jawed at St. Louis pitcher Jake Woodford after scoring, setting off a series of scuffles that included relievers shoving in the outfield as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cardinals 9-6 Saturday. St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright was knocked around for six runs and chased in the third. The next inning, the teams started tagging each other. Castellanos, who homered on opening day and hopped out of the box before tossing his bat, was plunked by Woodford with two outs and none on in the fourth. Castellanos retrieved the ball and offered to toss it back to Woodford before flipping it out of play. A wild pitch soon sent Castellanos scampering home from third and he scored with a headfirst slide for a 7-2 lead as he bumped into Woodford, who took the throw from catcher Yadier Molina at the plate. As Castellanos began walking away, Molina rushed up and tapped him from behind, and the benches and bullpens emptied in a wild scene. There was... [ More] |

Wed Mar 31 2021 | 20:26 | Cole looks forward to family and fans at Yankee Stadium |
NEW YORK (AP) — Gerrit Cole’s dad will watch him pitch at Yankee Stadium in pinstripes for the first time, one of about 10,850 fans allowed in to watch New York’s opener against the Toronto Blue Jays. “I had trouble sleeping last night, so I probably anticipate going to be the same thing tonight,” Cole said Wednesday. “There’s just a lot of different emotions. Everybody is tired of spring training, ready for opening day. Most people’s families are in town, which is special. There’s a lot of hope. There’s a lot of excitement. There’s a lot of projections. There’s a lot of baseball out in front of you. And you’ve prepared up to this point and there’s nothing else. You just want the gates to open and you want it to start.” Cole’s first season with Yankees was played entirely without fans because of the pandemic. “It was a bit surreal at first, and then it became kind of standard operating procedure. There were more important things that we needed to focus on,” Cole said. “Every time I see... [ More] |

LHP Lucas Luetge was signed to a minor-league deal after being released by the Reds on June 1. The Orioles assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk. Luetge was 3-5 with a 4.35 ERA in 111 games with Mariners from 2012 to 2015. He could eventually provide depth for the bullpen in Baltimore. |

LHP Lucas Luetge was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake. He had been designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday. Luetge, a reliever who previously played for the Mariners, was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday but did not appear in a game for the Angels. |

LHP Lucas Luetge was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake and added to the major league roster on Sunday. Luetge was available in the bullpen but did not pitch. His last major league appearance was April 25, 2015, with the Seattle Mariners. RHP A.J. Achter was designated for assignment in order to make space for Luetge. |

LHP Lucas Luetge was selected by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake City to add him to the major league roster on Sunday. Luetge will be making his Angels debut out of the bullpen. His last major league appearance was April 25, 2015, with the Seattle Mariners. |
Sat Sep 5 2015 | 14:28 | Luetge outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday |
Luetge was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Shannon Drayer of ESPN 710 AM in Seattle reports. |
Luetge has made only one appearance for the Mariners this season, spending the bulk of the year at Triple-A. Saturday's move simply removes him from the 40-man roster, making it even more likely that he'll finish out the year at Tacoma. |
Fri May 29 2015 | 18:23 | Luetge recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday |
Luetge was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, the Tacoma News-Tribune's Bob Dutton reports. |
Joe Beimel took a leave of absence for personal reasons so the Mariners needed bullpen reinforcements. Don't look for Luetge to get too many opportunities in high leverage situations while he is up with the Mariners. |
Sun Apr 26 2015 | 01:14 | Luetge The News Tribune reports |
Luetge The News Tribune reports. |
Roenis Elias was called back up from Triple-A Tacoma to pitch on Sunday. Luetge pitched 2.1 scoreless and hitless innings while striking out two batters and walking two as well. This was Luetge's first game with the Mariners this season. |
Fri Apr 24 2015 | 21:17 | Luetge recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday |
Luetge was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. |
He will serve as another lefty in the Mariners' bullpen in the short term, but with several more accomplished relievers already on the roster, Luetge is unlikely to be used in many high-leverage spots. He had a 3.32 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 62.1 innings at Triple-A last season. |
Sat Mar 21 2015 | 13:42 | Luetge |
Luetge, who was competing for a left-handed bullpen job, was optioned to Tripe-A on Friday, the Seattle Times reports. |
For the second year in a row, Luetge failed to make the roster out of spring training. He'll likely bounce between Tacoma and Seattle again this year. Luetge's fate was perhaps sealed last week after consecutive poor outings in which he gave up three runs and five hits in 1.2 innings. Rafael Perez was also cut, leaving David Rollins, Tyler Olson and Joe Saunders competing for the second lefty role behind Charlie Furbush. There's no guarantee, though, the Mariners keep two left-handers. |
Mon Sep 1 2014 | 13:47 | Luetge recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday |
Luetge was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. |
Aside from a handful appearances with the major league club in the first half, Luetge has spent the year at Tacoma, posting a 3.32 ERA and 10.1 K/9 in 62.1 innings. He's earned a spot on the September roster but may work primarily as a LOOGY over the remainder of the season. |
Sun Aug 10 2014 | 00:35 | Luetge optioned to Triple-A Tacoma |
Luetge has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. |
The move frees up a roster spot for the recall of Erasmo Ramirez, who will start Sunday's game against the White Sox. |
Fri Aug 8 2014 | 17:07 | Luetge recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday |
Luetge has been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, the Tacoma News-Tribune's Bob Dutton reports. |
He will likely only be up to add bullpen depth for Friday and Saturday's game, as he'll probably be sent back down when Erasmo Ramirez is recalled to start Sunday. |
Thu Jul 17 2014 | 14:44 | Mariners option Lucas Luetge to AAA Tacoma |
Mariners optioned LHP Lucas Luetge to Triple-A Tacoma. |
Luetge has allowed two earned runs on two walks and three hits in 3 1/3 innings of relief this season for the Mariners. He could get another try later this summer. |
