The San Diego Padres did not start the season well at home in their first six games versus the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants, facing excellent starting pitching and showing an anemic offense, the Friars went 2-4 at home. The road trip to Boston to face the Red Sox for their home opener also […]
The Texas Rangers scored seven runs but the Los Angeles Dodgers scored eight runs. The Rangers held leads of 3-1 and 4-2 in this game thanks to homers from Corey Seager (three-run blast in the 3rd) and Wyatt Langford (solo shot in the 5th, his first of the year) off LA co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-ace Tyler Glasnow, but […]
The Lakers took down the Suns 101-73 on Friday night. They clinched home court in the first round of the playoffs thanks to the Rockets losing to the Wolves. Rui Hachimura started things off for LA with an impressive reverse layup. LeBron James was cooking early for Los Angeles with three 3-pointers and three free […]
Game 1 of the first ranked on ranked series Nebraska has played in over a decade lived up to the billing and then some. Both heavyweights landed punch after punch and just when it seemed one was down for the count, they stormed right back. The team has to be happy with how they continued […]
His brother may be off to the Marlins, but shortstop Alexis Hernandez joined the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were swept in a doubleheader by the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals), 6-4 in nine innings and 6-1. Will Sanders started game one and didn’t make it out of the second inning. Sanders finished […]
Before the season, Big 12 coaches predicted TCU would win the conference with Arizona finishing second. Neither team has lived up to those expectations so far, but for one night the Wildcats looked the part of a contender. The UA won 4-3 at TCU on Friday night in the opener of a 3-game series, only […]
The Atlanta Braves started this weekend’s series out with a bang after Friday night’s 11-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Though it took a few innings for the offense to get going, the Braves’ bats came to life as the lineup racked up 15 hits. Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Michael Harris II joined […]
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani has reached base in his last 44 regular season games, setting an MLB record for a player born in Japan, surpassing Ichiro Suzuki, a player he admired while growing up. Ohtani singled in the fourth inning against Kumar Rocker the Texas Rangers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, his 13th […]
After its 5-1 series opening loss to the Gamecocks in which the Tigers mustered two hits, Missouri baseball was ripe for an offensive resurgence. On a cold Friday evening at Taylor Stadium, neither side was able to muster much offense. Three combined hits, one of which was a bunt single, came from the Tigers and […]
At some point this year, there was a brief moment — a very brief moment, but a moment nonetheless — where you wondered if the San Francisco Giants would win three games this season. And now they’ve won three straight. Things can change quickly, it turns out. The Giants beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on […]
Charlotte Knights 9, Louisville Redbirds 8 (10 innings)It’s sort of early for a must-win, but with Charlotte dropping six of eight since an opening weekend sweep AND blowing a seven-run lead tonight, this one felt like it. The Knights moved back to .500 (6-6) courtesy of Mario Camilletti’s game-winning single: Your browser does not support […]
Box Score The homestand did not start well for the Brewers. After a burst by both offenses in the first, the pitching staffs kept it close until the Brewers buckled late. Most of it came from a terrible performance by Trevor Megill, and the Brewers dropped the series opener to the Nationals 7-3. The game […]
The Brewers are well known as a team that loves to play small ball. They grind out at bats, get infield hits and are not afraid to drop down a bunt. Tonight, the Nats gave them a taste of their own medicine in the biggest spot. The Nats used three huge bunts to win this […]
Through his first three starts of the season, Steven Matz is making the 2- year, $15M deal he signed with the Rays this offseason look like quite the steal. The 34-year-old southpaw took the mound for the third time this season and left with this third win. This time, Matz held the dangerous Yankees lineup […]

I don’t have many words for this Red Sox team already, so we’re gonna keep it short. Studs No one? Is it that bad I don’t have just about anything good to say about this game? Duds Where do I even begin with duds for this game. Willson Contreras with a golden sombrero, including getting […]
The Mets, after falling to the Oakland Sacramento A’s by a score of 4-0, have pushed their scoreless streak to 17 innings. It’s not what you want. The good news, which is more existential than tangible after three straight losses, is the loss puts the Mets at an even 7-7 to begin the season, which […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began the 2nd homestand of the 2026 season taking on the Boston Red Sox at Busch Stadium. Before we get to the baseball, the first important moment of the game was the return of Willson Contreras to St. Louis after being traded during the offseason. As expected, he received a warm […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks starting rotation has had a habit of being sunk by the “Blow Up Inning” over the last couple seasons, and after the first inning tonight, I thought Soroka was just another member of the club. In a rare twist on that tired trope, the Diamondbacks offense punched through with their own […]
The Yankees dropped Friday night’s series opener in St. Petersburg by a final of 5-3, unable to fully recover after Luis Gil’s rollercoaster 2026 debut and a middle-inning Rays bullpen bridge that slowly squeezed control of the game away. Ben Rice’s late homer gave New York a pulse, but the offense simply could not create […]
The Orioles and Phillies came into this game with good vibes. The Orioles had three consecutive wins against the White Sox, while the San Francisco Giants had scored 11 runs in two games vs the Phillies. Shane Baz and the Orioles were not up to the task, and by the end of the night, the […]
Well, things were looking good for Twins starter Simeon Woods-Richardson until a Roman servant whispered in his ear “all glory is fleeting,” and the Bad Mojo spread through the bullpen like bedbugs in a bad motel. Ouch! Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Austin Martin singles and scores; Luke Keaschall beats out a single of his own. Bringing […]
On a night 21° colder than Thursday, everyone on the field was playing like it was 21°, period, as it didn’t even take two hours for Kansas City pitching to utterly eviscerate and embarrass their visitors’ offensive attack. Kansas City starter Kris Bubic and White Sox counterpart threw pitches like they had to pay per […]
Been a while since we had a fun one, but the vibes may have turned. Patrick Corbin does not look like the answer to their rotation problems, but just about everyone else did their job. The offence was undaunted by a four run hole, racking up nine extra base hits (14 total) against just four […]
The Dodgers (9-3) open a three-game series against the Rangers (7-5) Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Tyler Glasnow (1-0, 3.00 ERA, 0.92 WHIP) takes the ball for the series opener. Kumar Rocker (0-1, 3.60 ERA, 5 IP) makes his first career appearance against the Dodgers. Lineups Friday game info
