It was a second straight heartbreaker as the Philadelphia Phillies (8-18) blew two leads en route to their 10th straight loss and fourth within that span to come at the hands of the rival Atlanta Braves (19-8) by a score of 5-3 on Friday Night Baseball. Andrew Painter made his fifth career start, his second […]
Guardians 8 Blue Jays 6 I really hated them signing Max Scherzer again this season (even if it was cute that his daughter wrote to the Jays to plea for them to sign him). I didn’t think Scherzer had much left last year, I couldn’t imagine he’d be any better this year. So far, I’m […]
The NFC East added some prominent pass rushers through the NFL Draft’s first two days. The New York Giants took Ohio State’s Arvell Reese with the No. 5 overall pick. The Dallas Cowboys added UCF edge rusher Malchi Lawrence at No. 23. The Philadelphia Eagles added one with, in part, a pick they didn’t even […]
It wasn’t the stars, but the supporting cast that stole the show as the Royals knocked off the Angels 6-3 on Friday night. The 5-9 hitters in the lineup went a combined 7-for-18 and drove in all six runs, as the Royals scored six runs for the third consecutive game. Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi mowed […]
What a way to start a homestand. For those of us not in the sellout crowd on Star Wars Night, the crisp Apple TV cameras captured the first win of the season in the red uniforms. Atlanta remains a perfect 3-0 in Friday home games. Grant Holmes threw 89 pitches to go six and earn […]
Giancarlo Stanton has been ravaged by injuries over the years, many of them to his lower body. During an otherwise-smashing Friday night in Houston for the Yankees, his old injury bug seemingly popped up yet again. With Stanton at second base, J.C. Escarra singled to left field, off the wall at Daikin Park. Stanton advanced […]
In the 3rd round of the NFL Draft with the 74th overall pick, the New York Giants selected Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields. Fields transferred to Notre Dame for his final year of eligibility after a couple of very productive seasons with the Virginia Cavaliers — and Fields didn’t disappoint. The 6’4” 210 pounder was […]
In a game that featured all the worst aspects of the 2026 team, the Mets dropped the opener of their three-game set with the Rockies 4-3. Freddy Peralta was outpitched by Michael Lorenzen, who entered the game with an ERA of nearly 7.5. The offense had just about as poor of luck as you can […]
Through the first 8 innings, this was a fun game to watch if you opted for staying in tonight to watch a great slate of games and putting off the social schedule for tomorrow. This was a game where all aspects of the Rays were functioning as we would like to see on a nightly […]
Against an opposing pitcher who’s been one of the best in the AL the last several years, you need your starter to be really sharp — Taj Bradley was doing kinda OK until he wasn’t — and you need your hitters to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. These Twins were terrible at the […]
The Orioles’ offense had been looking for a “get right game” all season; they finally found it Friday night agains the Red Sox, as they launched six long balls and collected 20 hits in a 10-3 win over the Red Sox. The O’s had struggled all season to get off to hot starts, but you […]

It is Friday night. The Orioles have demolished the Red Sox by a 10-3 score, a beatdown so thorough that they literally ran out of in-game pyrotechnics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards because the O’s hit so many home runs. Gunnar Henderson led off the O’s hitting in the game with a homer, Adley […]
The Houston Texans went into the 2026 NFL Draft with eight draft picks, holding one in at least every round except the sixth. However, their draft arsenal is quite unique, as only three of the picks they hold are actually their own, thanks to being one of the most active teams in the trade market. […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Miami Marlins to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Adrian Houser, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.40 ERA, 4.44 FIP, with 11 strikeouts to seven walks in 21.2 innings pitched.

The Mariners had a fairly underwhelming homestand, going just 3-3 against a pair of division rivals in the Rangers and A’s, but a walkoff from Josh Naylor on Wednesday salvaged much of the vibes.
