The skies cleared, the temperatures rose, the snow melted, and the Rockies played a game of make-up baseball on a Thursday afternoon with the goal of ending their homestand with a win and snapping a six-game losing streak. Thanks to excellent pitching and an unexpected hero, the Rockies did just that as they defeated the […]
Introduction I suspect like many of you, I am a sucker for underdog stories. I think that’s why I’m such a passionate baseball fan. There are so many examples of those stories in the sport – from unlikely teams making magical runs to the World Series to players whiling away in the minors before finally […]
Good evening, folks! Well, it’s the quiet before the storm, as the Braves are currently on an off-day before they get set to head into the snake pit that is Dodger Stadium for a three-game series that’ll certainly have plenty of eyes on it while it’s happening. Still, we’re just over 24 hours from that […]
With a lineup that more suited for a spring training game than a May 7th game, the Mets snapped their three-game winning streak with a 6-2 loss to the Rockies at Coors Field. This was the makeup from a snowed out game on Tuesday, another anachronism for early May. The game began with both the […]
The Cleveland Guardians attacked Seth Lugo from the start, and it paid off quickly. Steven Kwan led off the game with a sharp single to center followed by a hard-hit double down the rightfield line by Jose Ramirez two batters later. Next up, cleanup hitter Kyle Manzardo pounded a double of his own to drive […]
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: LHP Cade Povich (1-1, 4.41 ERA, 11 K) vs. RHP Max Meyer (2-0, 2.68 ERA, 40 K) Turns out the only thing the Orioles needed to rejuvenate their season was a quick trip down to Miami. After being outscored 39-10 during a four-game sweep in the Bronx, the O’s […]
The San Diego Padres have had plenty of games that started this way. It was a pitcher’s duel for the whole of Matt Waldron and Adrian Houser’s respective outings. The two pitched through the first six innings giving up a solo shot each. But Houser was (surprisingly) lifted in the seventh after only 74 pitches […]
Just three games for the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates on Wednesday, as High-A Eugene and the Arizona Complex League Giants both had the day off. Let’s get into the action that did occur, though, as it was pretty nice! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions […]
The Athletics will finish off the three game series with the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon before continuing this road trip in Baltimore. The A’s squandered a (lower case) quality start by Jeffrey Springs yesterday to add to a 1-4 last five games at home and on the road. But they hope to turn that around […]

Here are the lineups for the series finale against the Athletics. Let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Athletics:
It’s still hard to believe that John Sterling is no longer with us. The longtime voice of the Yankees who died at age 87 this past Monday was, in my book, among the greatest broadcasters of all time. He brought unforgettable moments to life with his signature theatrical flair, delighting and entertaining generations of Yankees […]
Jake Bennett knows that he’s probably going back to Worcester in the very near future. Sonny Gray is back. Garrett Crochet will likely be back soon. Ranger Suarez probably won’t even go on the IL. Payton Tolle doesn’t want to relinquish his rotation spot, nor does Brayan Bello, who hopefully has turned a Nick Pivetta-esque […]
Jared Jones continues to work his way back to the Major Leagues. Jones made his second rehab start in the minor league for the Pittsburgh Pirates, suiting up for Triple-A Indianapolis. The 24-year-old right-hander totaled three innings of one-run ball against the Omaha Storm Chasers. Jones allowed five hits, walked one, and struck out two. […]
Boy did the Washington Nationals catchers eat their wheaties in this series! After a massive game from Drew Millas last night, Keibert Ruiz one upped him, going 3 for 4 with two doubles and a homer. Ruiz’s homer in the 7th inning gave the Nats a lead they would not relinquish thanks to some solid […]
I wrote in my preview about Simeon Woods Richardson’s struggles so far this year, and this start was no different. It didn’t matter what pitch he threw, the Nationals saw the ball well, weren’t chasing, and made him work for every one of the few outs he could get. As the titular Chappell Roan once […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are back in town, as they’ll take on the New York Yankees with Jackson Chourio ready to suit up for the first time at home this season. Milwaukee is coming off a series split with the Cardinals, as the second game of the series was rained out and rescheduled for early July. […]
Nothing about the Yankees’ terrific start to May has been guaranteed. The Bombers have routinely had to scratch and claw to stay ahead in ballgames—dodging poor fortune and injury scares to emerge out the other side with a hard-earned win. Today’s getaway day game against Texas was no different. Scheduled starter Ryan Weathers was out […]
The Texas Rangers scored twice but the New York Yankees scored nine runs. No team in the American League is very good right now except for the team the Rangers have played like six times in the last two weeks, which happens to be the team they played today. The Rangers won two of those […]
The Cincinnati Reds entered play against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon in Wrigley Field mired in an ugly 6-game losing streak. Said streak featured a Saturday game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in which they walked seven consecutive batters en route to a 17-7 loss, and the first three games of the series against the […]

The Arizona Cardinals had seven draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft and then followed it up with seven undrafted free agents. Over the next couple of days we will take a look at each of undrafted free agents to get to know them a bit, but also so they get their chance to show […]
Pittsburgh Pirates, vs. Arizona Diamondbacks, May 7, 2026, 3:40 p.m. ET Location: Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ Broadcast: 93.7 KDKA The Fan, Sportsnet Pitching Matchup: Mitch Keller (3-1, 2.85 ERA) vs. Zac Gallen (1-2, 4.45 ERA) The Pirates continue their road trip, traveling out west to face the Diamondbacks in a three-game series at Chase Field […]
The Dodgers and Braves had a nice little October tradition going recently, having met in three playoff series in a four-year span. But the last four seasons they haven’t been able to recreate the matchup. This year, Atlanta owns the best record in baseball heading into this weekend’s matchup at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers beat […]
The Cincinnati Reds look to salvage a game from this brutal series against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon in a vintage Wrigley Field matinee. Rhett Lowder starts for the Reds opposite Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga, and the Reds have tweaked their lineup according. Elly De La Cruz also gets his first start at DH […]
