The Cardinals (23-17) and Athletics (21-20) stay in Sacramento after St. Louis opened the series with a 6-4 win that had the exact rhythm this matchup can carry again: early traffic, a crooked first inning, late bullpen exposure and enough Oakland thunder to keep the full-game run environment awake.

Hacks is down to its final three episodes now, and Episode 8 arrives Thursday, May 14 at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO Max. After the recent double-drop stretch, the season is slowing back down for the finish, which is plenty welcome. The last two episodes pushed Deborah and Ava into much messier territory than the […]

The Diamondbacks (20-21) and Rangers (20-22) close the series at Globe Life Field with the board priced like a coin flip and the game carrying a stranger rhythm than the moneyline suggests. Texas tied the series Tuesday with a 7-4 win built from a new top-of-order shape: Joc Pederson moved to leadoff and immediately homered, […]

The Cubs (27-15) and Braves (29-13) meet again at Truist Park with the series carrying the feel of a National League measuring stick.

The Nationals (20-22) and Reds (22-20) stay at Great American Ball Park with Tuesday’s opener still smoking in the outfield seats. Washington’s 10-4 win was not a cheap pileup or one bad inning dressed up as a rout. James Wood started the barrage with his 12th homer, Luis García Jr. and Daylen Lile each left […]

The Rockies (16-26) and Pirates (23-19) meet again at PNC Park with the series already tilted by what happened Tuesday night. Colorado spent most of the opener chasing Paul Skenes, who carried a no-hit bid into the seventh and turned the game into another reminder of how difficult this park can feel when Pittsburgh gets […]

Widow’s Bay keeps turning the hokey character eccentricity of its titular island into avenues for raucous disturbance. The old inn, just like the honeymoon suite in Hokum, carried its own set of house rules, literally, and harbored the Killer Clown. The beach opening summoned forth the Sea Hag, both as a hilariously-hellbent and randy zombie […]

The Tigers (18-22) and Royals (19-21) close the Sunday Night Baseball window at Kauffman Stadium with Kansas City chasing a sweep and Detroit trying to stop a five-game skid before the week tilts any further downhill. The Royals have steadied themselves after an ugly early stretch, winning 12 of 17 and finding cleaner game-to-game rhythm […]

The Mets (15-24) and Diamondbacks (18-20) close their series at Chase Field with Arizona trying to turn Saturday’s 2-1 win into its first series victory since mid-April and New York trying to find any kind of offensive rhythm before leaving Phoenix. The Mets have spent the weekend looking like a team with traffic problems, timing […]
