The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Anaheim Angels scored three runs. The Rangers had two hits entering the seventh inning tonight. By the end of the game, they had scored eight runs on 11 hits. This is the magic of playing the Angels, something that had not yet shown itself to Texas all […]
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani reached an incredible milestone Tuesday, hitting his 300th career home run. The post Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani Blasts Leadoff Homer, 300th of Career appeared first on LA Sports Report.
Two of their four All-Star pitchers bookended a dominant night on the mound to pilot the Philadelphia Phillies (51-41) to a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds (41-49) in the the opening game of the series. The 18 strikeouts the Phillies’ staff collected were a season high, as they were for the Reds’ hitters who […]
Cleveland got on the board in 2nd inning, as Rhys Hoskins went down and got Taj Bradley’s fastball and hit it out of the park to center for a solo homer. That was one of only three hits allowed by Bradley all night, as well as the only Guardians run. The question became: Can the […]
The best and healthiest versions of Noah Schultz's minor league work featured a lot of efficient, economical strike-throwing. In that vein, a 33-pitch first inning to open up his second start since returning from the injured list, four free passes (three walks, one very painful-looking sinker to Wilyer Abreu's elbow), and 92 pitches to allow four runs over five frames in a loss to the 26th-best scoring offense in MLB was a disappointment. The post Red Sox 8, White Sox 1: An unfavorable lef...
After a day off on Monday, the Cincinnati Reds opened a crucial six-game homestand with their backs against the proverbial wall in this 2026 season. They stood at 41-48 and in last place in the National League’s Central division, and were about to welcome behemoths to town in the form of the Philadelphia Phillies and […]
Box Score For six innings, the Brewers and Cardinals were involved in another close, low-scoring baseball game. Starters Robert Gasser and Hunter Dobbins were both pitching well, and while Milwaukee got out to an early lead, the Cardinals punched back in the sixth. Then the seventh inning happened. Milwaukee put up seven runs in their […]
Shohei Ohtani reached an impressive individual milestone on Tuesday night.
Christian Yelich remains a key figure for the Milwaukee Brewers, but he hasn’t been producing at a high level, especially during several games before Tuesday’s meeting with the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Heading to that contest, the former National League Most Valuable Player went just 3-for-30. He turned things around [...]
The most frustrating thing about tonight’s 6-5 extra-innings loss: it was a winnable game, if just a few things had gone differently. But the mistakes compounded for the Mariners, ultimately delivering a loss to open up the Florida leg of their road trip – always a tough road trip for the Mariners, who haven’t won […]
So, it turns out the Cubs are no slouches after all. And though it’s their offense that’s supposed to be a team strength, today the Most Cub-Like Player had to have been the starter, Matthew Boyd. The lefty hounded the Orioles all night, the way you thought a crafty lefty might. Through six innings, Baltimore […]
Hunter Dobbins was entrusted with the starting duties of game 2 of the day/night doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers and did a great job of limiting their offense to minimal damage in the early innings. The St. Louis Cardinals offense did not make a significant appearance in the game and the 7th inning was a […]
This has not been the season that Freddy Peralta or the New York Mets hoped it would be. The Mets are one of the worst teams in baseball with no chance of a play off run. Peralta is having a rough season in his contract year. A 4.68 ERA isn't what he had in mind to take to the free agent market. Nevertheless, there are reports that his trade market at the deadline could still be decent, per T he Athletic's Will Sammon . Peralta, 30, set for free agency at the end of the season, sta...
The exact reason for Zack Wheeler‘s All-Star snub might be more administrative than anything. Regardless, one way or another, Wheeler should have been named to the National League squad. In his first start since he wasn’t, Wheeler pitched like he’s taking it personally. “Dominant” doesn’t do justice to Wheeler’s performance in Cincinnati on Tuesday in […]
Marlins 6, Mariners 5 Fresh ceviche served seaside: Randy Arozarena, .26 WPA Day old tuna heated up in the microwave: Dominic Canzone, -.30 WPA (I refuse to penalize Michael Rucker for the walk-off) Game thread comment of the day: Not a Hemingway fan, but my English-major heart had to appreciate this:
The average number of errors per game in MLB is around 0.51 to 0.53. That means baseball rarely produces a sequence in which a routine grounder spirals into a series of defensive mistakes. But Tuesday’s game between the Kansas City Royals and the New York Mets featured exactly that, leaving players, broadcasters, and fans stunned.

Tyreek Hill’s 2026 Fantasy Season in Serious Doubt, and Fantasy Managers Should Treat It That Way Tyreek Hill’s path back to an NFL field looks longer and less certain than his fantasy price tag suggests, and the latest reporting is a reason to leave him alone in redraft leagues. Bleacher Report’s James Palmer said this [...]
The Tigers had Monday off to catch up on their errands, and on Tuesday night they opened up a six-game home stand and a three-game series against the Don’t-Call-Them-Sacramento Athletics. Their opponents made a giant mistake which ended up being the difference in a 6-2 win. Tarik Skubal made his twelfth start of the year. […]
For all the ink that has been (rightfully) spilled about a struggling Yankees’ offense, the once-dominant starting rotation has gone under the radar in the blame game for the team’s poor play over the past two weeks. While injuries to Max Fried and Carlos Rodón have certainly thinned things out, the results speak for themselves […]
The Athletics took on the Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit today, hoping to end a three-game skid. J.T. Ginn got the start today against reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarek Skubal for Detroit. After a walk to lead-off batter Kevin McGonigle, Colt Keith homered to deep right center field giving the Tigers an early […]
Atlanta isn’t just another road trip for Deion Sanders. It’s the city where he made his name with the Falcons, played baseball for the Braves, and became one of the biggest stars in American sports. Yet, he’s treating this as business, not a reunion, and is putting his staff on a tight leash. “I got […] The post “Curfew”: Deion Sanders Imposes Strict Restrictions To Colorado Coaches But Gives Students A Free Pass appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Minnesota Twins prospect Kaelen Culpepper is back on the injured list with a glute injury.
The Atlanta Braves traveled to PNC Park in hopes of picking up a much needed win after two heartbreaking losses in a row. Hurston Waldrep made his second start of season for the Braves and Paul Skenes was on the mound hoping to rebound from the worst stretch of his young career. The Braves got […]
I’m hoping I’ll be back in time to put up a real game thread, but in case I get delayed, use this as a thread.
