OFFICIAL: @Tigers acquire infielder Jeff Baker from @Cubs for two players to be named.

Question....how is someone who is listed as their primary position on Baseball Reference as "Pinch Hitter" worth 2 players?

Nats win behind Stras (12-5). And Save Storen (1).

He's been very effective since returning, with a bad second outing, since then, no ERs allowed, 3 holds and today's Save. He is allowing a baserunner every appearance, but overall pretty good. I still think Clippard is THE guy, but nice to see Storen returning to form for the stretch drive...

And Dom Brown had a nice game: 2-3 w/ a double and an infield Single, 4-11 since Promotion. Encouraging...

how did harvey do?

Another quality start and win for Lincecum, is he officially back? 4 quality starts in 5 starts.
