The only Chicago hit was by Happy Felsch. It occurred when he threw his bat at the ball on a hit and run.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy became the first ballplayer in big league history to hit a home run on two different teams that started a game with three consecutive home runs.

Few MLB debuts have been as closely watched as the call-up for Bryce Harper. He is a sensation at 19, a compelling player who will draw crowds to every ballpark he visits.

Ryan Zimmerman needing a stint on the disabled list certainly isn't a surprise considering the third baseman's shoulder injury hasn't shown any improvement , but the Nationals' choice to replace him on the roster is a shocker.

One of the burning questions this season at least for me is when Nationals phenom Bryce Harper will get called up to the major leagues.
