Aubrey Huff (center) leans on railing that caused his injury. (AP)A difficult season that includes a DL stint for an anxiety disorder continues for Aubrey Huff as the San Francisco Giants veteran injured his right knee amid the celebration of Matt Cain's perfect game on Wednesday night.

The injury occurred immediately after Joaquin Arias fielded Jason Castro's tough grounder and made his strong throw across the diamond to wrap up the historic performance. As Giants players started flooding out of the dugout — some using the steps, others jumping the railing — Huff made his leap and landed awkwardly on his right leg, twisted his knee, and then ate some dirt.

You can view the faceplant at the 9:10 mark of this MLB.com video. SB Nation also has a couple gifs giving you two different angles of Huff's tumble.

Mark Grace was the definition of a professional hitter — as his .303 average and .825 career OPS would indicate — and a three-time gold glove winner during his 16 big-league seasons. Now imagine how much better those credentials could be if he possessed the power to foretell the future like he did while broadcasting Arizona's 11-3 victory in Arlington on Thursday night.

With Jason Kubel at the plate in the second inning, and Texas Rangers starter Scott Feldman entering into his delivery, Grace, now the color analyst for Diamondbacks games on Fox Sports Arizona, casually informed the viewing audience they were about to witness a home run.

Here's video of the result:

On Friday, Oakland A's outfielder Seth Smith turned in a defensive gem that could receive consideration for Play of the Year in Major League Baseball.

On Saturday night, the Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates were involved in what very well could be the exact opposite of the Play of the Year. And no, this has nothing to do with the insensitive gesture made by Humberto Quintero in the dugout during Bruce Chen's interview. Though that certainly qualifies as the poorest use of judgment we've seen recently.

This actually took place on the field, where Kansas City's Mike Moustakas and Pittsburgh's All-Star center fielder Andrew McCutchen teamed up to botch a routine base hit in every possible way.

Have a look:

Johnny Vander Meer's place in history as the only pitch to throw back-to-back no-hitters remains secure thanks to a New York Yankees offensive outburst against Johan Santana on Friday night that included back-to-back-to-back home runs in the third inning.

Robinson Cano started the barrage with his second two-run homer of the evening. That's the first time a left-handed batter has gone yard twice in the same game against Santana in his big league career. Nick Swisher and Andruw Jones then followed suit from the right side, which, according to Elias, makes Santana the second pitcher to allow four home runs the start following a no-hitter.

Catfish Hunter was the first back in 1968. No pitcher coming off a no-no has ever allowed more than the four, which also tied Santana's career-high for home runs allowed in a start.

Walkoff safely: After jumping out to an early 4-0 lead thanks largely to Joey Votto's three-run homer, the Cincinnati Reds watched their advantage slowly evaporate over the middle innings and then turn into a one-run deficit in the eighth. That's where Todd Frazier' delivered a pinch-hit RBI double that eventually sent the game to extra innings and set the stage for Wilson Valdez to find another creative way to win a baseball game.

History was made at Safeco Field on Friday night as the Seattle Mariners used six — yes, six — pitchers to defeat the Dodgers 1-0 and complete only the tenth combined no-hitter in the annals of Major League Baseball.

The unconventional six-man effort was necessitated by the early exit of starter Kevin Millwood,  who allowed only one walk over his six innings of work, after he tweaked his groin warming up for the seventh. Relievers Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Brandon League and Tom Wilhelmsen all worked together to finish what Millwood started, and secured a nice place in baseball history for themselves in the process.

''Those guys got all the tough outs,'' Millwood said. ''First six, it is what it is. I've seen a lot of people do that. From seven, eight, nine - those guys got all those outs and that was special to see.''

(MLB.TV)It wasn't but nine days ago that the Colorado Rockies were sputtering along in the National League West. They had lost 18 of their first 24 games in the month of May and fallen to 14 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fans were waiting anxiously to learn which coach was about to become the scapegoat.

After all, desperate times call for desperate measures and knee-jerk reactions, and with the Rockies about to join San Diego in the basement, a move of some sort seemed inevitable.

But that's not how the Rockies operate under their current ownership. The brother duo of Dick and Charlie Monfort pride themselves on providing a stable atmosphere for their players and coaches. Some fans applaud their patience, others label it ignorance, and then there's the third party that cries incompetence. All three actually make a pretty sound case, but the bottom line is, the Monfort's philosophy puts the onus on the players to create their own spark and fuel their own turnaround.

One time it worked out very well for the Rockies. They were able to pick themselves off the deck and make an unprecedented run deep into October. Then you have several seasons of completely opposite results, where the ship hits the iceberg head on, backs up, and rams into it again. Rarely is there a result that falls in between.

Under which category will the 2012 Rockies fall?

It's still too early to tell on that, but we can at least tell you the source for which the players are currently drawing their motivation.

Their new motto is simply "swag," which most of you recognize as an outdated term used to describe a confident or stylish appearance.

The inspiration is ... well, a cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber with a talk bubble that emphasizes their new rally cry. And yes, this cutout sits in their clubhouse much the same way Lou Brown's cardboard cutout of evil owner Rachel Phelps sat in the Cleveland Indians clubhouse in the movie "Major League." Only, thankfully, it has no removable pieces. Well, aside from the cap and the eye black strips that bear Rockies logos.

The baseball was flying at the Great American Ballpark on Sunday, where the Rockies and Reds combined to hit a stadium record nine home runs in Cincinnati's 7-5 victory. That barrage included Todd Frazier's solo home run off Jamie Moyer — the fourth he allowed in as many innings — that sailed comfortably into the seats above the left field scoreboard.

Frazier's blast wasn't the longest home run of the afternoon. That distinction belonged to Michael Cuddyer, who hit one 448 feet to center field one half inning later. But Frazier's was by far the most impressive, because he practically did it with no hands.

Yes, you read that correctly. And if you've watched the video, what you saw actually happened. The bat slipped completely out of Frazier's hands as he made contact with Moyer's 72 mph changeup, and it nearly ended up in the pitcher's lap 60 feet from home plate. Yet the ball kept carrying, and carrying, and carrying, all the way to Frazier's fifth home run of the season.
