For six-and-a-half innings tonight, this game felt like a hopeless loss. Brandon Young had a little bad luck and made a few bad pitches, which put the Orioles in a hole. And Phillies starter Andrew Painter rebounded from his terrible rookie season so far to look like the top prospect he once was. With the […]
Nick Martinez is in line to be one of the finalists for the AL Cy Young award this season. So far this year, he’s done a great job at limiting hard hits and walks, making him a tough pitcher to attack. But that was before the White Sox made Friday night look like a Home […]
Cardinals 1 Blue Jays 3 A very nice win. Dylan Cease maybe wasn’t as good as he’s been in his last couple of starts, but he was still very good. 6 inning, just 3 hits, 3 walks with 7 strikeouts, and 1 run against. A pretty good month for Cease, 5 starts, 36 innings, 4 […]
The Mets fell to the Fish by a score of 5-2 which evened up the series against Miami. Kodai Senga got the start instead of Freddy Peralta who was scratched ahead of Monday’s trade deadline. Senga was actually very good through four innings allowing just one hit and no walks. Unfortunately it all fell apart […]
To truly understand the absurdity of this last month of Boston Red Sox baseball, you need to go back to rock bottom. For all intents and purposes, the 2026 Red Sox season ended on June 24 in Denver, Colorado. In a rubber match game against the NL-worst Rockies, the Red Sox bullpen failed to protect […] The post Drawing Up a Perfect Red Sox Deadline appeared first on Just Baseball .

Heading into the All Star break, the Philadelphia Phillies (57-53) were 11 games over .500, firmly in wild card positioning, and a game and a half back from Atlanta Braves for the division lead.

Right-hander Kevin Gausman has been open this month about his affinity for Toronto and the bittersweet concept of potentially being traded to a contender. He became choked up talking to reporters about the scenario earlier this month, detailing the conflicting emotions of falling in love with the city but also wanting another opportunity to contend […]
Game Summary For much of tonight’s game, the D-backs seemed to have forgotten to grab their bats off the bus from Pittsburgh. Fortunately, the pitching staff, led by 5 good enough innings from Mitch Bratt, kept the game close and gave the offense a chance until the end. Going into the 8th inning, the Diamondbacks […]
The Braves racked up hits early and often in this one, and two big swats in particular from Matt Olson and Michael Harris II gave the Braves the push they needed to pick up what’s becoming a somewhat rare occurrence lately: A comfortable win. From the outset in this one, the Braves were in control […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles kicked off their weekend homestand with a 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Brandon Young battled through 5.2 innings and the bullpen […]
The Rays entered Friday’s game with a three-game lead in the AL East, after the Yankees beat the Cubs in an afternoon affair at Wrigley Field, By the end of Friday’s game, which saw the division lead cut to 2.5, the last completed trade was AJ Minter to the Twins. There is now less than […]
Any game that Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease is involved in is likely to be a pitcher’s duel. That proved true Friday night, but Kyle Leahy was equally vexing to the Blue Jays lineup. Eventually it would come down to which team would prevail against the other’s bullpen and I’ll give you two guesses, […]
The Dodgers placed reliever Brock Stewart on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder discomfort. Los Angeles selected left-hander Cole Irvin onto the big league roster to take his bullpen spot. Righty Chayce McDermott was designated for assignment to open a spot for Irvin on the 40-man roster. Any shoulder injury for Stewart raises alarm given […]

The New York Giants are depending on their young QB-RB duo of Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo to create excitement and give head coach John Harbaugh’s team a chance to play winning football in the NFC East. That has been a rarity for the Giants in recent years, but Harbaugh’s ability to bring about a […] The post Giants’ Cam Skattebo breaks silence on Fanatics Fest backflip controversy appeared first on ClutchPoints .
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- On paper, Nick Martinez presented a tricky matchup for the best scoring offense in the American League. For one, he's good; having allowed five runs in his last five starts and coming off his first career All-Star appearance. But moreover, the Sox thrive off patience and pop, reeling wayward pitchers into their honeyhole, and Martinez is the brand of relentless strike-throwing and soft contact machine that has flummoxed them when taking the form of Keider Montero, or ...
