Why did Jhoan Duran pitch in a non-save situation?

PHILADELPHIA — With the Phillies down by five in the ninth, star closer Jhoan Duran emerged from the bullpen. His music played without the usual theatrics of his entrance. It came as a surprise to what was left of the more than 40,000 fans in attendance for Sunday’s game. It was already a long day […]

William Contreras walks off Marlins as Brewers secure sweep

Box Score For most of this game, Milwaukee’s offense looked lifeless, but it didn’t end up mattering — William Contreras’ ninth-inning heroics helped the Brewers complete a sweep of the Marlins to open the second half.

Who was even watching?: Mets 6, Phillies 1

Let’s be honest, were you even watching this game? With the World Cup final on most of the pregame shows available today, you’d be forgiven for not paying much attention to what the Phillies did.

After a pre-All Star Break push and a nice victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night, the Minnesota Twins looked to take the series and continue their upward trajectory.

Dream Another Astros Dream, This Dream Is Over. Time to Sell

It literally pains me to write this, because the idea of flushing an MVP season from Yordan is a sin, yet here we are. Where we are is literally with the finish line in sight. Ronel Blanco, Hayden Wesneski, and Bennett Sousa are all about to return and provide much needed reinforcements to a beleaguered […]
