Xander Bogaerts has never made an out against Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Tyler Duffey, which is good news for daily fantasy baseball players.

Holly Holm Must Go Though Valentina Shevchenko To Return To Winning Ways

The commish says the league is talking about restricting the use of relief pitchers in an inning or in a game. “You know the problem with relief pitchers is that they’re so good,” Manfred said on ESPN’s “Mike & Mike” on Thursday. “I’ve got nothing against relief pitchers, but they do two things
