NEW YORK -- The future was laid out before the Mets, plain to see: one at the plate, one in the on-deck circle, one near the dugout exit awaiting his turn to bat. The Mets were trailing the best team in baseball by three runs in the ninth, but they

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays just landed their counterpunch in dramatic fashion. Danny Jansen launched a walk-off three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th to break a scoreless tie that felt like it might last forever Wednesday night at Rogers Centre. This game demanded drama, though. It’s all

HOUSTON -- If Astros manager Dusty Baker were to hand out a game ball Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park, he would have needed to bring a case of them. There was the two-run home run in the ninth inning by Jake Meyers that gave the Astros some life, the

Trade stock is a funny thing. The closer we get to the Trade Deadline, the more important it can become for a player to thrive, increasing their value as clubs around the league look to bolster their rosters for the stretch run. Yet as we sit here just past the

Projections, in many ways, exist to remind us not to get too carried away with what our eyes are telling us. The season may be one-quarter over, but as much as we might believe that one-quarter of the season is the totality of everything that matters, it isn’t. It’s only

A’s fans of some length of time are used to seeing a slugger wearing the number 25 on his back crushing long home runs at a furious pace for their favorite team. Mark McGwire belted 363 homers during his 12 seasons with Oakland, many of them tape-measure blasts. McGwire (1996),

HOUSTON -- There have been signs of late that Seiya Suzuki was rediscovering his power. Sitting in the visitors’ dugout at Minute Maid Park on Wednesday, Cubs hitting coach Dustin Kelly was confident that would continue, too. “He’s going to hit home runs,” Kelly said. “We know they're going to

ARLINGTON -- In the series finale against Texas at Globe Life Field, the Braves' offense was firing on all cylinders, sparking a late comeback in a 6-5 victory over the Rangers and Atlanta's first series win over Texas since 2003. Eddie Rosario got the party started early with a two-run

NEW YORK -- If the early season has taught the Mets anything about Kodai Senga, it’s that his signature ghost forkball is as unhittable as they had hoped. Senga set a Mets record for Japanese-born pitchers with 12 strikeouts in a walk-off, 8-7 win over the Rays on Wednesday night,

ST. LOUIS -- Having already set one career milestone (300th career HR) earlier this season against the Brewers, superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado wasted no time in notching another against the Cardinals’ NL Central rivals on Wednesday night.

DETROIT -- Pheidippides’ run from the battle of Marathon to Athens. Harry Truman’s run through the Capitol. Roger Bannister’s four-minute mile. And now, Rich Hill. Against the Tigers on Wednesday at Comerica Park, the 43-year-old hurler added his name to the list of history’s unforgettable sprints. With two outs in

Just 24 hours after being thwarted of a chance at his first pro cycle due to rain, Jackson Holliday upped the ante: a five-hit, five-RBI, four-run night in which MLB’s No. 3 overall prospect raised his OPS through the first six weeks of play to 1.206. Notching a quintet of

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants had been hoping to get some length out of Ross Stripling following a rare short start from Alex Cobb on Tuesday, but another injury concern ended up forcing them to stage an impromptu bullpen game for the second consecutive day. Stripling exited his start in

OAKLAND -- When the D-backs returned to the Coliseum a little more than 10 hours after they had departed, they were spent, both physically and mentally, following Tuesday night's hard-fought loss in 12 innings. It was their first time playing extra innings in 2023, and the four-hour, nine-minute marathon was

ST. LOUIS -- Each time he forced down that second breakfast, piled more food onto his plate for dinner or downed another protein shake before bed, Matthew Liberatore would think about nights like Wednesday when he’d be standing in the middle of the diamond at Busch Stadium and still going

BALTIMORE -- The Angels once hoped to develop Kyle Bradish into a frontline starting pitcher, after they selected the former New Mexico State right-hander in the fourth round of the 2018 MLB Draft.
