For the first eight innings, this game that felt very much like a microcosm of the Mets’ season thus far, with every potential good turn being erased by poor performance and bad luck. Then, the ninth inning happened. And then the tenth. The Mets won the game 7-6, taking the Queens half of the Subway […]
Two weeks ago, Minnesota Twins RP Andrew Morris gave an inspired performance out of the bullpen in relief of an injured Joe Ryan. One week ago, a bullpen game brought home a victory. For a third consecutive Sunday, the Twins ‘pen turned in an inspired performance to salvage the final game with the Milwaukee Brewers. […]
Elmer Rodríguez has faced some seriously fierce competition in his first three MLB starts, squaring off against Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom, and today Freddy Peralta. He authored the best start of his young MLB career, holding the Mets to a run while pitching into the fifth to match the way Peralta was repeatedly silencing each […]
The Seattle Mariners are calling up top prospect SS/3B Colt Emerson, per multiple reports led by Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. The move came as somewhat of an unexpected move, as Emerson was initially listed in the Tacoma Rainiers lineup in Triple-A. Instead, Seattle is bringing up their 20 year old quite literally from […]
Sunday’s game started out with an encouraging first inning. Maikel Garcia singled up the middle and then two batters later Vinnie Pasquantino also singled to center where Victor Scott II fumbled the ball and allowed Garcia to advance to third. Salvador Perez then picked up his first RBI of the night by hitting a sac […]
Quiet Sundays can be a good thing, but not when it describes what happened to the St. Louis Cardinals bats as the Royals avoided a sweep winning 2-0. Andre Pallante was not the Cardinals problem Sunday as he gave them 6 2/3 innings allowing 8 hits, 1 earned run striking out 7 with no walks. […]
The Red Sox’s performance today was similar to my dog’s now that the weather is in the 80s. They were around, but they mostly did nothing, and the stuff that they did was a complete mess (My dog drips water all over the place when she drinks.) Is Brayan Bello’s story over? He had two […]
It took more than a quarter into the season, but the Dodgers on Monday finally will play the San Diego Padres for the first of four series this season, this one a three-game affair between the top two teams in the National League West at Petco Park in San Diego. Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts the series […]
This felt like a game the San Diego Padres would lose. With the Seattle Mariners’ ace on the mound in Logan Gilbert, it felt like the moping San Diego offense would struggle to score enough to back starter Walker Buehler. That was not the case. Buehler pitched a gem and the Friars rode three homers […]
The Orioles have played from behind far too often this season. Today they decided to try something different. Baltimore scored in each of the first four innings, and the bullpen stepped up after a short outing from Brandon Young. Gunnar Henderson, Coby Mayo and Colton Cowser all went yard, and the Orioles avoided a sweep […]
After winning a tight contest on Saturday Afternoon, the Colorado Rockies find themselves with an opportunity. They can win the series against their fellow National League West and 1990s expansion team Arizona Diamondbacks in their first matchup of the 2026 season. Sunday’s game also includes a battle of the World Baseball Classic pitchers named Michael. […]
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Houston Astros scored zero runs. The top of the fifth was a big moment for the Rangers as Alejandro Osuna ended the daily no-hit watch with an infield single and then Jake Burger collected the first extra base hit of the weekend for Texas when he smacked […]
After a close win Friday and a narrow loss Saturday, the Atlanta Braves left no doubt in their Sunday series finale against the Boston Red Sox at Truist Park. The Braves leapt out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and a 5-0 advantage through two, coasting to an 8-1 win to remain unbeaten […]
Blue Jays 4 Tigers 1 We got more than two runs. Or actually, we got two runs twice: We only had six hits and one walk on the day. Vlad and Varsho had two each (and all the extra base hits). On the pitching side, Kevin Gausman was great. He went six innings, allowing just […]
The rubber match of a three-game weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays took place on a sunny, summer-like Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Alas, the Tigers dropped the finale and thus the series by a 4-1 score. Jack Flaherty made his tenth start for the Tigers, and his troubles have been well-documented this season. His […]
With Zack Wheeler going against Paul Skenes, it looked like we were in for a pitcher’s duel on Sunday. And that’s exactly what we got for five innings or so. But eventually, Skenes faltered while Wheeler stayed strong, and the Phillies emerged with a 6-0 victory over the Pirates that completed a sweep and put […]
After eking out a win Friday night and blowing a late lead Saturday night, the series is on the line when the Braves and Red Sox face off Sunday afternoon at 1:35 p.m. EDT. Grant Holmes gets a regular-rest turnaround on the Braves’ starter carousel against Brayan Bello, who has been bad as a starter […]
The Dodgers look to sweep the Angels on Sunday. Roki Sasaki faces Grayson Rodriguez. SUNDAY GAME INFO
With Blake Snell having elbow surgery on Tuesday, Tyler Glasnow on the injured list with back spasms, and River Ryan only one start back from a minor league injured list stint, the Dodgers had five starting pitchers for their six-man rotation. So it makes perfect sense that they acquired left-hander Eric Lauer from the Toronto […]
In the middle of the sixth inning of a game where the Atlanta Braves were firmly in control of things against the Boston Red Sox, the skies suddenly opened up. First, they were able to play through a bit of hail but once they went out there for the bottom of the sixth inning, the […]
It’s series finale time, as the San Francisco Giants take on the Oakland/Sacramento/Vegas Athletics for the third game of the series. I’m writing this before the first game, so here’s hoping that the Giants are going for a sweep, or at least a series win today. But who knows! You, probably. If the scheduled starters […]

On a national telecast through Peacock, the Tampa Bay Rays got a well deserved spotlight this Sunday, starting with the star of the show – Junior Caminero – clearing the fence: After giving up the lead, the Rays would battle back the second time through the order, and after loading the bases, Taylor Walls – […]
After splitting the first two games of the series, the Athletics and San Francisco Giants will square off this afternoon in the rubber game of this rivalry weekend showdown. Athletics’ starting pitcher Luis Severino struggled yesterday. The Giants jumped out to a 5-0 lead before holding off the A’s late comeback attempt. As a result, […]
