1914 - George Davis of the Boston Braves pitched a 7-0 no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies in the second game of a doubleheader. Davis' no-hitter was the first thrown at Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. 1922 - Baby Doll Jacobson hit three triples to lead the St. Louis Browns to a 16-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Everything about the kid, not only what we're seeing on the mound, but the way he carries himself. He's got electric stuff, but he has pitchability. He knows what he's doing on the mound, he knows how to manipulate the baseball, and he knows what hitters are trying to do to him. He's not afraid to use all of his pitches. His arsenal consists of six pitches an ever-dynamic mix that he can tweak and lean on depending on who is at the plate.

The Miami Marlins didn't necessarily need Anthony Mazur to dominate the Phillies on Wednesday night-they just needed him to eat innings. But what they got instead was a glimpse into why he was such a key piece in last year's Luiz Arraez trade, and why the front office remains high on the 24-year-old right-hander. In just the ninth start of his big-league career, Mazur delivered 5 2/3 innings against one of the National League's most dangerous lineups, allowing five hits and four earned runs in a 4-2 loss for the Marlins. He walked four, struck out five, and threw 97 pitches-59 for strikes.

Troy Melton and three relievers combined on a two-hit shutout, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 1-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Brusdar Graterol, sidelined with a shoulder issue, has a "small, small chance" of pitching this season, significantly impacting the Dodgers' strained bullpen.

Chase Burns has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a Grade 1 flexor strain, an injury that poses concerns for pitchers despite being the least severe grade.

"A 10-year veteran, Montas has only been a starter, meaning this is brand-new territory for him. I told him I consider myself as a starter, but..."

Eflin's three-year, $41MM contract appeared favorable during productive 2023 and '24 seasons, showing a 3.54 ERA over 59 starts before disappointing final year due to injuries.

The Reds placed starter Nick Lodolo on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his left index finger, filling the spot with Yosver Zulueta.

Shane Murphy has a 1.45 ERA in 80.2 innings since being promoted to Double-A, making him a strong candidate for Southern League Pitcher of the Year.
