Getty Images The 2005 San Diego Padres can pop champagne. They no longer hold the distinction of being MLB’s worst-ever division winner in a full season. The Houston Astros (ATH 6, HOU 5) and Texas Rangers (MIN 10, TEX 2) both lost Friday night and fell to 79-81. This year’s AL West winner will have a worse record than those 2005 Padres, who won the NL West with an 82-80 record. “Two games left,” Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said on Friday (via MLB.com). “We’ll obviously be scoreboard watchi...
The Diamondbacks will designate outfielder Jesus Sanchez for assignment prior to today’s game with the Padres, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert and other reporters following Friday’s 11-4 Snakes victory.

Moreno’s injury doesn’t appear to be too serious, as Lovullo said the plan is for Moreno to pla...
