A look at what's happening all around the majors Saturday: MIGHTY MOOSE As Kansas City's once-anemic offense has surged, scoring seven or more runs in each of its last five games entering the weekend, so has Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas.

By designating former closer Neftali Feliz for assignment, the cash-conscious Milwaukee Brewers admitted that their $5.25 million offseason investment in him was a failed one. Corey Knebel leads all big league relievers in strikeouts and is a prime reason Milwaukee leads the National League Central heading into Thursday's series finale with the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Knebel registered his second four-out save Wednesday night in a 7-6 win, punctuating it with a whiff of Dexter Fowler that was his 59th in 33 1/3 innings this year. Continue to Article
