Eric Skoglund, a former third-round draft pick of the Kansas City Royals, made his major-league debut on May 30, 2017, against the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium. Skoglund posted a 0.66 ERA — the lowest in the country in 2010 — in his junior year of high school in Sarasota, Fla. The now 6-foot-7 lefty caught the eye of scouts (the Pirates drafted him in the 16th round in 2011) and college coaches (UCF) alike. Skoglund allowed just one unearned run and five hits with 19 strikeouts in back-to-back complete-game outings on March 14 and March 21 during his junior season at Central Florida. After a stellar three-year run at UCF — which included being named the American Athletic Conference’s pitcher of the year — Skoglund was drafted in the third round (92nd overall) by the Royals in 2014.

SAN FRANCISCO — Nationals slugger Bryce Harper and San Francisco reliever Hunter Strickland both landed punches to the head during a wild brawl that erupted Monday after a hit by pitch. Harper was hit in the right hip by Strickland’s 98 mph fastball in the eighth inning with Washington ahead 2-0. Harper pointed the bat toward Strickland, charged the mound and fired his batting helmet wide of the pitcher. They started to swing away and they each connected as the benches and bullpens emptied. At least two Giants players forcefully dragged Strickland from the middle of the brawl all the way into the dugout. Harper and Strickland were both ejected. In the 2014 NL Division Series, Harper hit two home Continue to Article

The White Sox offense waited just a little too long to come to life in the second game of Saturdays doubleheader. The bats were silent for eight innings before a jolt of a ninth-inning rally that saw the South Siders shave a 4-0 gap down to 4-3, only for back-to-back strikeouts to strand the would-be tying run 90 feet away and send the White Sox to a 4-3 loss at Guaranteed Rate Field. Buck Farmer made his first big league start of the 2017 season for the visiting Detroit Tigers, and he kept the White Sox quiet, striking out 11 hitters in his 6.1 shutout innings of work.
