by Thomas Willis @TomAWillis / Digital Manager & Producer – Nashville Predators Both the Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues raced through their Round One series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and now the Central Division rivals will meet in the postseason for the first time ever. The No. 3 and No. 4 finishers in the division, the Preds and Blues dominated their opponents – the Chicago Blackhawks and Minnesota Wild, respectively – en route to pulling off upsets in the First Round. Rivals for close to 20 years, the two clubs will now square off in a best-of-seven...

The Phillies are not a home run-hitting team, but they showed some serious muscle late in Sunday afternoon’s 5-2 victory over the Braves at Citizens Bank Park. They hit back-to-back-to-back home runs to break a tie and sweep the Braves. Cesar Hernandez hit a two-run home run off Arodys Vizcaino to hand the Phillies a two-run lead. Aaron Altherr followed and ripped a solo homer into the Phillies’ bullpen in center field, and Odubel Herrera hit a solo shot to left-center field against Ian Krol to make it a four-run game. The Phillies have won six of their last...

The Nashville Sounds rallied for five runs with two outs in the ninth inning but it was not enough as they were upended 6-5 by the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Nashville is now 0-3 and has been outscored 18-7 in Sunday contests. After being silenced for much of the day by the Sky Sox pitching staff, the Sounds finally broke through with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. Chris Parmelee ripped a double to get the rally started. The next six batters to come to the plate would reach base. Renato Nunez was then walked, followed...

Second baseman Brandon Phillips gave the Braves the lead with a one-run double. After the Phillies took it back, Phillips homered with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Braves another chance on Saturday. But Braves closer Jim Johnson couldn’t survive a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the 10th inning. The Phillies hit three consecutive singles, two of them to infielders, before Maikel Franco won the game on a two-run, walk-off single with two outs. The Phillies beat the Braves 4-3 to secure the series victory. The Braves (6-11) lost their fifth straight game after winning...

The Nashville Sounds used a flurry of hits in the final two innings to top the Colorado Springs Sky Sox 5-2. The Sounds trailed 2-1 through seven innings but erupted for four runs on seven hits in the final two frames to earn the victory. The win was just the second for the Sounds all season in a game when they trailed after seven innings. Nashville is now 2-8 in such games. Melvin Mercedes wasted no time settling in on a chilly evening in Colorado Springs. The second baseman ripped a triple to right field. Mark Canha drove in...

Phillies manager Pete Mackanin combed through the batter-pitcher matchups hours before Friday night’s game against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park and found only limited success against Bartolo Colon. But the Phillies picked up 11 hits and four runs in seven innings against Colon in a 4-3 victory. Colon had been 10-3 with a 3.01 ERA in 14 starts against the Phillies the previous three seasons with the Mets. The Phillies had picked up more than six hits against him in just four of those 14 starts. They had never had more than 10, which happened once, in July...
