Ichiro advances quest for history vs. Braves

The Cubs managed a mere three hits on Sunday afternoon, in a 2-0 loss to the Rockies at Wrigley Field, but one of those knocks was a notable one.

Harper makes HR history in Philadelphia
What Bryce Harper has been doing in the batter’s box has been remarkable. Harper is so locked in, maybe teammate Gio Gonzalez said it best, “Let him be Bryce. He knows his body, he knows the way he is. The way he is going out there is unreal. It’s next-level stuff.”

Arenado’s 2 homers a belated birthday gift

Mallex delivers game-winner as Braves sweep
The Braves watched a five-run lead disappear, but still managed to complete their three-game sweep of the Marlins in extra innings. Mallex Smith’s two-out, RBI single to center off Edwin Jackson proved the difference, as Atlanta prevailed 6-5 in 10 innings at Marlins Park.

Sox to reflect on Boston Marathon bombing on Patriots’ Day
Patriots’ Day will once again be a festive occasion at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox hosting the Blue Jays Monday at 11:05 a.m. ET, and the Boston Marathon passing through Kenmore Square in the early afternoon. But Monday will also be a time to reflect on the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013.
