      Smoltz Stones Mets for Milestone

      (Newser) - Facing off against former teammate Tom Glavine, do-it-all Braves righty John Smoltz prevailed again for his 200th win—the most for any player with 150 saves or more. Smoltz was converted to a closer in 2001 and back to a starter in 2005, and his 154 saves are an Atlanta team record. More »

      Tigers Get Some Revenge

      (Newser) - Behind eight solid innings from Justin Verlander, the Tigers finished a sweep of the swooning Cardinals, who at nine games under .500 reside near the basement of the hapless NL Central.

      MVP Howard Slams Out Of Slump

      (Newser) - Six shutout innings by D-Backs ace Randy Johnson went for naught after he loaded the bases in the seventh; struggling slugger Ryan Howard, last year's NL MVP, golfed the first pitch he saw from reliever Brandon Medders and put Philadelphia up for good.

      (Newser) - George Steinbrenner is mellowing with age.  After a miserable April in which baseball's best-paid team went 9-14 and suffered an ungodly number of pitching injuries, the formerly trigger-happy Yankees owner gave a 127-word statement both supporting his manager, Joe Torre, and making it clear that the status quo was nonetheless unacceptable.

      Sox Deny Sock Hoax

      (Newser) - Many past and current Red Sox rushed to the defense of Curt Schilling yesterday after Baltimore announcer Gary Thorne claimed the blood that famously turned the injured pitching ace's sock red in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees was a hoax.

      How A-Rod Got His Groove Back

      (Newser) - A new hitting coach and newfound aggressiveness are two of the keys to a record-tying-hot start for Alex Rodriguez this season. That start, in turn, has helped ease the pain of a horrifically embarrassing 1-for-14 in the playoffs last season, during which the $252-million third baseman was dropped to eighth in the Yankees' batting order.
