Sabrina B. Jonathan Papelbon got so mad at himself after blowing his first save of the season Saturday that he offered up a $5,000 reward on the spot for the Philadelphia Phillies teammate who got him off the hook.
Just In! MLB: Congrats to Jim Thome! Becomes 8th Player in MLB History to hit 600 Home Runs!
Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl Minnesota slugger Jim Thome has become the eighth player to hit 600 home runs, connecting twice against the Detroit Tigers on Monday night. The 40-year-old Thome hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning for No. 599, then came to bat again in the seventh. He hit a 2-1 pitch from Daniel Schlereth over the fence in left field, then circled the bases as the Detroit fans gave him a standing ovation.
