In his 11-year professional career, Chad Kuhl has pitched in 239 games, from the lower level of the Minors to the Majors. None of them held the same significance as his May 17 start for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Kuhl took the mound for Charlotte against Durham in a pink-sleeved

It’s typically the hare that comes up short against the tortoise in fables, but on Saturday night, neither the St. Lucie Mets nor the Bradenton Marauders stood a chance against a turtle. In the top of the second inning at LECOM Park, the Single-A St. Lucie (Mets) were at-bat with

Chandler Redmond mashed a homer Sunday that belonged not in, but over a museum. The Double-A Springfield infielder's fourth-inning blast traveled an estimated 485 feet, flying over the Wichita Baseball Museum beyond right field and careening off the administrative building beyond Riverfront Stadium. At the Major League level, only the
