Diamondbacks hitters flustered by Red Sox; Drew Jameson recalled for bullpen depth

It [Henry being used in the bullpen-Justin] turned out to be the former. Jameson did not pitch, and since Henry’s outing was so short — he threw only 10 pitches — it sort of amounted to a more aggressive between-starts bullpen session. The plan, for now, is for Henry to start Wednesday vs. the Rockies.

Andrew McCutchen Plans To Play In 2024, Wants To Remain With Pirates

“As long as things continue to be the way that they are, I’m going to continue to keep going,” McCutchen said. “I want to do it here. I don’t want to do it anywhere else. I don’t want to continue my career on another team…..That ballpark gives me a different boost or jolt of energy that I didn’t really have. I don’t know if it’s familiarity or the comfortability of being in Pittsburgh once again. The surroundings, the vibe when you’re on the field, I didn’t have that anywhere else. It’s good to be able to feel all those things again.”

A solar eclipse once ended a six-year war.

In 585 BCE, the sky suddenly darkened during a battle between the Lydians and the Medes. The soldiers saw it as a sign to stop fighting.

The national animal of Scotland is the Unicorn.

One of the fun facts that’ll make you feel like we’re pulling your leg: the unicorn is officially Scotland’s national animal. The unicorn is the Celtic symbol of purity, innocence, masculinity, and power. Considering the fact that people believed they were real for around 2,500 years, there’s no wondering why the official coat of arms of the United Kingdom features a unicorn.
