LOL. LMAO even. The Sox never trailed until the final run crossed the plate, having built a 2-0 win methodically over the previous eight innings. This was a Little League-ass game (complimentary enough): Against starting pitchers neither team could do much, but the Sox eventually broke through on a sixth-inning RBI double by Willson Contreras. […]

The Oklahoma Sooners won their third baseball national title in program history on Monday night.
Astros 2 Blue Jays 4 We really should have scored more. It is funny how that line just types itself at the top of recaps. But we are back at .500, and, amazingly, hold the third Wild Card spot. Dylan Cease had a nice night. 5.2 innings, 3 hits, 2 earned, 4 walks and 8 […]
ANAHEIM—Orioles third baseman Blaze Alexander was removed from Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels in the third inning with right knee discomfort.

It’s a big night when the reigning champs come to town. Anthony Banda got his championship ring, the Target Field concessions workers went on strike, and Zebby Matthews got to remind everyone that his real, government registered name is Zebulon. Unfortunately, it appears they forgot the bag labeled “runs” back in Phoenix as there was […]
Eighty games are officially in the books. The Astros have been victorious in 37 of them, after dropping the opening contest of their 7-game road trip in Toronto by a score of 4-2.

Out-homering the opposition paved the way for the Dodgers to narrowly beat the Twins 2-1 in a game in which stringing hits together proved to be quite the challenge for either side.

Andre Pallante gave the St. Louis Cardinals the quality start their bullpen so badly needed as he throttled the Arizona Diamondbacks at Busch Stadium Monday night.

Box Score When Brandon Woodruff’s velocity suddenly nosedived during his last big-league start on April 30, there was real concern. It was fair to wonder that, given Woodruff’s age and injury history, he was facing a career-ending injury. Instead, he’s back in the big leagues less than two months later. And in a start that […]

They did not, however, […]
There are plenty of baseball games where you can pinpoint an individual moment to being what the result hinges on. There are others where things just always feel destined for a loss. Despite a close final score, Monday’s game against the Tigers felt like one of the latter for the Yankees. On the mound, Gerrit […]
Michael Wacha went seven complete innings and gave up only one run in a 2-1 win over the Rays to open the four-game series. He was quite efficient – of those 21 outs in 7 innings, 16 of them were by strikeout (5) or groundout (11, including a double play). The only truly punished mistake […]

ANAHEIM—For the second straight game, second baseman Jackson Holliday is out of the lineup because of groin tightness.
