For a moment, it looked as if Sean Burke was really going to be the star of the show again. To an extent, he was. A six-inning performance yielding just two earned runs is nothing to sneeze at. But when you put up an offensive performance like the White Sox did in tonight’s 4-1 loss […]

Mets can’t complete comeback in loss to Dodgers

“It Feels Unlucky” – Mets Manager Minces No Words After Juan Soto Suffers Major Setback Amid Turbulent Season

Juan Soto has established himself as arguably the best player in the New York Mets’ lineup amid the team’s disastrous season. But there is no denying that his calves have troubled him all year.

53-51 – Nate was nasty as Rangers topple Mariners 7-1

Pratt, Lara lead Brewers to 8-5 win over Rockies

Box Score The Brewers have traditionally had trouble with Rockies starter Ryan Feltner, a generally mediocre pitcher in his six-year career. But tonight, led by a couple of 21-year-olds and aided by some poor Rockies defense, Milwaukee finally figured him out. Robert Gasser also befuddled Colorado hitters for most of the night, and after a […]

Astros 4, White Sox 1: Second-straight suspect sixth sinks Sox

For five scoreless innings at Rate Field on Saturday night, the game was a question of which hard-throwing right-hander would crack first: Sean Burke or Hunter Brown? Instead, the second-straight galling top of the sixth inning against the Astros reminded that baseball is a team sport, and even a version of Burke that can reel off 10 strikeout in six innings of work is vulnerable without reliable defense. Or any run support. The post Astros 4, White Sox 1: Second-straight suspect sixth sin...

Offense and defense can’t support strong pitching in 1-run loss
