It was a very stressful three days for the Phillies in Arizona, but a decisive win in Saturday’s Game 5 has them now one win away from a second straight World Series berth — with the best home-field advantage in baseball backing them up once again. Their backs now against the wall, D-backs will send […]

What a difference a week makes. The Houston Astros went into Arlington and bludgeoned the Rangers for three straight games, and now enter tonight’s pivotal Game 6 with a 3-2 lead in the series.

Now these teams meet again for […]

Nearly three weeks into October, it was hard to escape the feeling that this postseason had yet to really deliver on the drama. All four Wild Card series ended in sweeps. Three of the four top seeds in both leagues went down in the Divisional round, but while the Braves at least gave us a […]

In the bottom of the sixth inning of ALCS Game 5, Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia delivered arguably the swing of this postseason, launching a go-ahead three-run homer off Justin Verlander — then spiking his bat before starting his trot around the bases.

The Texas Rangers looked to be on life support in the sixth inning of Game 5 against the Houston Astros. After consecutive dispiriting losses in Games 3 and 4, Texas was in desperate need of a turnaround on Friday night. But instead it was the Astros, once again, who came up with the big hit, […]
