LOS ANGELES — Tommy Edman made a fantastic defensive play to rob extra bases, then rounded said bases after a three-run home run that helped the Dodgers to a 6-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Down two runs in the seventh inning, Alex Freeland walked with one out and […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers originally planned to start Dalton Rushing at designated hitter and Max Muncy at third base on Saturday against the Washington Nationals, but both were scratched from the lineup. Rushing has elbow soreness and Muncy is sick, the team said. Rushing spent four weeks on the injured list after a partial […]
It was a disastrous road trip. The San Diego Padres had an opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the trailing Arizona Diamondbacks. Instead they played poorly, losing five out of six games, and are now a half game back in the Wild Card chase. It was a team-wide failure, for sure. Poor pitching, […]
Box Score What looked like a nice early game on a Saturday evening turned into a long night. Both teams went back and forth scoring, with a long rain delay splitting the game into two halves. Unfortunately, the rain dampened an early Brewers’ lead, and they could not recover as they lost 5-3. The game […]
I came into this game feeling as steeped in negativity and creeping doomerism regarding our offense’s recent struggles as I would imagine the rest of you all have been. It is, after all, a rather remarkable thing we achieved over the previous five games—only scoring six runs across forty-five innings, and having failed to drive […]

The Braves bought themselves some margin for error in avoiding certain catastrophic outcomes by winning Friday’s opener of this four-game Philly series and the first of seven games against the division rivals in the next 10 for Atlanta. That said, they could still easily get themselves into trouble in the standings through these games against […]
On Harry Potter Night at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies conjured enough magic to hang on for the win in a wizard’s duel against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Saturday night matchup had a number of trappings from recent games: A team struggling to find a single hit until, all of a sudden, an offensive […]
LSU fans are already getting the full Lane Kiffin effect as college football returns.
While he hasn’t been put on the injured list yet, Shohei Ohtani remained out of the Dodgers’ lineup on Saturday against the Nationals. He’s now missed three straight games. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters, including Katie Woo of The Athletic, that the team will evaluate Ohtani on Sunday. “My expectation is he’s going to hit […]
There’s no way to guarantee Sonny Gray will pitch well when he takes the mound for the Red Sox in a postseason game at the end of the month. However, giving him extra rest going into the September stretch run and seeing him respond by pitching fantastic against a good lineup on the road fighting […]
Georgia wiped the floor with Tennessee State in a 63-3 season-opening blowout, but head coach Kirby Smart was in no mood to celebrate.

Giants manager Tony Vitello was ejected once again on Saturday, and it did not take long for a Mets broadcaster to point out a growing pattern around the men in blue. San Francisco beat the Mets 9-5 at Citi Field, but the story of the day became a blown replay review in the top of […] The post Mets broadcaster calls umpires out after Giants’ Tony Vitello gets ejected appeared first on ClutchPoints .
If you had told me before Saturday night’s game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies that Matthew Liberatore would have a no-hitter going into the 5th inning, I would have probably called you crazy. That’s exactly what happened as Liberatore defied Coors Field tendencies and came out of the gate firing strikes. Then, […]
The inaugural game of one of Maryland football’s most pivotal seasons in the last decade showed fans an unfamiliar brand of football. The Terps came into this season needing desperate help in the run game, and after a 94-yard touchdown run by DeJuan Williams – the second-longest in program history – on his very first […]
It’s been a season of big changes for the Colorado Rockies, and tonight is no different. According to Woody Paige of the Denver Gazette, Dick and Charlie Monfort may be planning to sell even more of the team to the Penner Sports Group, who joined the ownership group in April by purchasing 40% of the […]

Jordan Ross bagged up an incredible defensive highlight after picking off Christopher Vizzina for a touchdown during the No. 11 LSU Tigers’ clash with the Clemson Tigers on Saturday night.

Christian Koss is a little guy. He’s 185 pounds with rocks in his pockets. The graph illustrating how he compares to the rest of the league in terms of contact quality is as blue as Lake Tahoe. His .368 slugging percentage in 2025 has somehow found the space to drop even lower in 2026, falling […]
Decisions come with consequences. In the 10th inning, the Texas Rangers made the decision to intentionally walk Yandy Diaz to face Jonathan Aranda. Aranda launched a three-run homer into right-center-field, propelling the Tampa Bay Rays to a 6-3 victory at Globe Life Field. The late game heroic swing rescued a game that the Rays led […]

Saturday Night Bummer. A rare blown late inning lead by Houston. Diamondbacks 4 Astros 3. The night began with promise, thanks to a forged early lead which has been the formula for success of late.
