#Rangers have mild trade interest in Matt Harvey, as I reported moments ago on @MLBNetwork. Dan Warthen, the current Texas pitching coach, was #Mets pitching coach during Harvey’s best years in New York. @MLB

Brewers closer Josh Hader is the first pitcher to record at least eight outs in a game, all via strikeout, since 1893.

I don't understand this Stat? Was this 8 straight outs?

I don't understand this Stat? Was this 8 straight outs?

That tweet was phrased weird. He did get eight outs and all of them were by strikeout, but he did walk one guy.

There have been some big strikeout performances this year, including Cole and Scherzer this weekend.

Odubel Herrera has reached base safely in 36 consecutive games, Phillies' longest streak since Jimmy Rollins had a 38-game streak from 2005-06.

We've acquired Devin Mesoraco from Cincinnati for Matt Harvey. In addition, we've placed Todd Frazier on the 10-Day DL, with a left hamstring strain. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, we've transferred Anthony Swarzak to the 60-Day DL.

James Paxton threw the 6th no-hitter in @Mariners franchise history on just 99 pitches. It is the 3rd no-hitter in the MLB this season.

The last time there were 3 no-hitters through May 8th was in 1969.
