Morse blasts grand slam as Nats topple Mets

Mike Morse blasted a grand slam on Friday, powering the Nationals to a 6-4 victory over the visiting Mets.

Morse finished the night 1-for-4, but that one hit was the biggest blow of the game. After Johan Santana had retired the first nine hitters, the Nationals started the fourth inning with three straight singles, and Morse followed with a mammoth blast to right field, unloading the bases and putting the Nationals on top to stay. The Beast is now hitting an impressive .303 with 12 homers and 44 RBI through his first 67 games.

Matt Garza (lat) to return from DL on Tuesday

Matt Garza (lat) will return from the disabled list to start Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Garza threw six scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa earlier this week, so he shouldn't be on a strict pitch count in his season debut and will provide an immediate upgrade to the Cubs' rotation. His return means Carlos Villanueva will be relegated to a bullpen role.

Granderson starting in right field Saturday

Curtis Granderson is starting in right field Saturday against the Blue Jays.

It's Granderson's first career start in right field. With Ichiro Suzuki struggling, the Yankees are looking for ways to get Granderson, Vernon Wells and Travis Hafner in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Granderson has been playing exclusively in left field since his return from the disabled list, so it's a sign that Ichiro's playing time could be reduced going forward.

Hafner (shoulder) returns to Yankees' lineup

Travis Hafner (shoulder) returned to the Yankees' lineup Saturday.

Hafner was available to pinch-hit Friday, but didn't start against left-hander Mark Buehrle. He returns after missing the last four games with shoulder tendinitis. With Curtis Granderson now healthy, the Yankees will go with a committee of Hafner and Vernon Wells at designated hitter. Hafner is batting .260/.383/.510 this season.

Mets 'intensify' demotion talks for Ike Davis

ESPN New York reports that the Mets have "intensified" discussions about potentially demoting Ike Davis.

Davis was able to snap a six game hitless streak Friday, but he may not have more than this weekend's series against the Cubs to prove he deserves to avoid a demotion. If Davis is sent down, the Mets are expected to call up Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace him on the active roster. Davis is batting .160/.245/.267 with four home runs in 38 games this season.

Chris Sale fans 12, overwhelms Angels

Chris Sale struck out 12 in 7 2/3 scoreless innings Friday in the White Sox's 3-0 win over the Angels.

Poor C.J. Wilson got matched up with Sale for the second time in six days and took another tough loss. Sale allowed just four hits and struck out 19 while pitching 16 2/3 scoreless innings over the course of the two outings. He's allowed one run in 24 career innings against the Angels.

Pacheco swats grand slam in win over Giants

Jordan Pacheco went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and five RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Giants.

Pacheco had an RBI ground out in the bottom of the second inning while his fifth-inning grand slam broke a 5-5 tie. With a .313/.360/.410 batting line over 26 games this season, the 27-year-old continues to be a useful player for Colorado. Todd Helton isn't a good bet to hold up and will require regular rest no matter what, so Pacheco should continue to have value in NL-only leagues.

Freese busts out of slump with grand slam

David Freese launched a grand slam in Friday's 7-6 win over the Brewers.

Well, that's one way to bust out of a slump. Freese entered play Friday homerless over his first 27 games this season. With the grand slam, he notched his first RBI since May 2. The Cardinals and fantasy owners are hoping that this night will serve as a turning point for his season.

Aramis Ramirez has two HR, six RBI vs. Cards

Aramis Ramirez connected for a pair of three-run homers in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

Ramirez did his best to keep the Brewers in the ballgame, but it ultimately wasn't enough to keep up with the Cardinals' offensive attack. The 34-year-old has already served a lengthy stint on the DL this season due to a knee injury, but if healthy he should be one of the most valuable fantasy third baseman once again.

Kipnis blasts walkoff three-run homer in 10th

Jason Kipnis blasted a three-run walkoff homer in the tenth inning on Friday, powering the Indians to a 6-3 victory over the Mariners.

Kipnis finished the night 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI, and was also caught stealing. After the first two hitters were retired in the tenth, Drew Stubbs walked and Michael Bourn reached on an infield single before Kipnis' dramatic blast off Lucas Luetge. He's really picked it up once the calendar flipped to May, hitting .295 (18-for-61) with six homers and 19 RBI on the month.

Kelly Johnson helps power Rays over Orioles

Kelly Johnson homered and drove home four runs, helping to power the Rays to a 12-10 victory over the Orioles on Friday.

Johnson finished the night 3-for-4 with a homer, double, two runs scored and four RBI. His three-run blast off Jason Hammel in the third inning put the Rays on top for good. He's had a nice career resurrection in Tampa Bay this season, hitting .276/.353/.483 with six homers and 23 RBI.

Justin Upton delivers grand slam in victory

Justin Upton smacked a go-ahead grand slam and knocked in five runs in Friday's 8-5 win over the Dodgers.

For all his early success, this was the first time he had driven in more than two runs in a game this season. Upton collected his first RBI with a ground out in the bottom of the third inning and put the Braves ahead with his grand slam off Paco Rodriguez in the bottom of the sixth. It was the third grand slam of his career and his first since June 2, 2009. The 25-year-old outfielder currently leads the majors with 14 home runs and is just three shy of his total from all of last year.
