The Mets and Phillies open their first head-to-head series Thursday night in Citizens Bank Park heat. New York arrives 33-41, still trying to make one loud afternoon in Cincinnati feel transferable. Philadelphia sits 40-34, steadier across the season, then freshly bruised by Miami’s 12-4 visit. The weather pushes the game toward offense, with afternoon heat […]

Sutter Health Park gives […]

The Tigers and Astros close their series Wednesday afternoon at Daikin Park after two completely different games. Detroit opened the set with Colt Keith’s three-homer thunderclap, a 9-3 win full of early pressure. Houston answered Tuesday with a grimier 4-2 comeback, built on passed-ball chaos, defensive leakage, and Raynel Delgado’s eighth-inning swing. That win had […]
