This is what you call a snowball. Or at this point it might seem more like Murphy’s Law trying to take effect on the Detroit Tigers, because anything that can seemingly go wrong is creeping around the team right now.

Nope!

With his Chicago White Sox clinging to a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth inning Saturday, outfielder Avisail Garcia saved the day.

Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis sailed a would-be dinger deep to right, but Garcia showed off some crazy bounce with a perfectly timed jump and brought it back.

Thanks to Miguel Cabrera’s calf injury, Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila is out of place at first base.

Before his first career start at the new position, Avila spoke humbly to reporters:

Each year, a few select players have the misfortune of being labeled as "All-Star Game snubs." The fan vote to determine starting position players is an imperfect system, as evidenced by the current crop of potential starters in the American League. Eight Kansas City Royals players rank within the top three vote-getters at their positions.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Chris Sale has been cooking on the mound dating back to the end of May, and he didn't disappoint Tuesday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. 

Over the course of eight innings in Chicago's 2-1 win that spanned 11 frames, Sale struck out 12 batters, marking just the second time a pitcher has accomplished that feat eight appearances in a row, according to ESPN Stats & Info: 

In the midst of a five-game losing streak, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon dipped into his bag of tricks to try to create some magic for his team.

Before Tuesday night's game against the New York Mets at Citi Field, Maddon brought a magician into the clubhouse to try to loosen his team up. 

For the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Martinez, the question is not whether they'll be starting in the 2015 MLB All-Star Game, but whether they'll even be taking part in the exhibition.

With the Midsummer Classic rapidly approaching, A-Rod and Martinez are just two of a slew of first-half standouts who look like they'll be left on the outside looking in when the American League and National League rosters are announced.

Miami Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon doesn't have a ton of power, but with his speed, he doesn't need power in order to notch a home run.

With two outs in the bottom of the second inning of Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants, Gordon found the gap in right-center field, and he was off to the races.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig missed 39 games earlier this season with a hamstring injury, though some of his teammates would have been happy if he hadn't come back at all. 

Speaking to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, one anonymous Dodgers player made his feelings about Puig clear. 

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels after being struck in the head by an errant throw that made its way into the dugout prior to the seventh inning.
