Felix Hernandez is having a historically good season, arguably the best of his 10-year career with the Seattle Mariners.

If only one word could describe Felix Hernandez's performance this season, it would be "dominant."

The 2014 baseball season hasn’t been the kindest to Ron Washington and his Texas Rangers.

After all, they have led the big leagues in trips to the disabled list, and at one point, they had 16 players on it for one injury or another. And with 13 players currently on the DL and sitting 26 games under .500, the club is just hoping to finish the rest of the season unscathed.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols hit his 513th career home run in Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to MLB Milestones' Twitter account, that moved him into sole possession of 21st place on MLB's all-time home runs list.

The Seattle Mariners made it through the trade deadline without giving up any of their top prospects, leaving a promising farm system in place.

The Oakland Athletics have had the American League's best record for virtually the entire season, but any A's fan knows in-season success doesn't guarantee playoff wins. Winning in October takes a deep roster, a couple of top-level players and a whole lot of luck.

Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane is tired of his team being “one-and-done” in the playoffs.

Starting pitcher James Paxton appears close to returning to the Seattle Mariners rotation after missing nearly four months with a strained lat muscle.
