The Sports Xchange MIAMI — Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels struck out a season-high 10 batters Monday night, but it wasn't enough to top Alex Sanabia or stop the Miami Marlins from putting together rare back-to-back wins. Justin...

MIAMI — The Marlins obviously haven't padded attendance enough through sweet deals like allowing fans over 55 into Thursday games free or giving away select tickets for a $1.25 service charge at select bars. So on Saturday night, they really ran a...

MIAMI This weekend's Marlins-Diamondbacks series features the National League's two most prolific teams at grounding into double plays. The Diamondbacks entered Saturday's game pacing the circuit with 44 and the Marlins after grounding into three Friday...

MIAMI Marlins Park last season was among the majors' top 10 for triples. The numbers haven't been quite as favorable so far this season, but that hasn't been on account of Adeiny Hechavarria. Thursday against the Reds, Hechavarria ignited a ninth-...

The Dodgers are delivering on the promise they made in their marketing slogan. This is "A Whole New Blue." These Dodgers have hit depths unknown to them even during their 10 months in bankruptcy, their 5-4 defeat against a group of no-names wearing...

SAN DIEGO Ricky Nolasco joined exclusive company Wednesday. He now is just the fourth pitcher in Marlins history to go at least seven innings, strike out nine or more, and lose. The Padres won 1-0 at Petco Park, where Nolasco was brilliant only to watch...
