Spencer Strider will start for Braves in final game of Rockies series

Shane Baz and the Orioles handle the Astros, 5-3

Tonight marked the third series in a row in which the O’s have faced a last-place team. Are the Orioles a good team? We’re not sure.

This was the 3rd week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Sunday, April 26th).

White Sox Minor League Update: April 26, 2026

Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights got beaten by good pitching, plain and simple. With the 5-1 loss to the Sounds, Charlotte (13-14) is now a game under .500, which feels about right. Starter Jake Curtis got crushed in the second giving up a three-run bomb, and Nashville just kept piling on. It was […]

Arizona baseball drops series opener at Big 12 leader Kansas

Misiorowski throws 5 1/3 no-hit innings, leaves early in 6-1 victory

Box Score Jacob Misiorowski had a historic night on the mound.
