The Red Sox arrive at Comerica Park at 15-21, trying to finish a road sweep against an 18-19 Tigers team whose rotation has gone from imposing to unstable in a hurry. Boston has already taken the first two games 5-4 and 10-3, piling up 15 runs and 24 hits while posting 12 hits in back-to-back […]

The Athletics arrive at Citizens Bank Park at 18-17, still floating above .500 despite Tuesday’s 9-1 thud, while the Phillies sit 16-20 and suddenly look alive again after a managerial reset and a cleaner offensive night. Philadelphia’s opener had the texture of a team rediscovering force: Bryce Harper homered twice, Bryson Stott added another, J.T. […]

The Orioles and Marlins meet at loanDepot Park with matching 16-20 records, both trying to pull a wobbly first week of May back toward level ground. Baltimore’s 9-7 win Tuesday snapped a five-game skid, but it also asked the bullpen to cover five innings after Chris Bassitt allowed four runs on six hits and three […]

Rooster is one week from the finale, and Episode 9 puts all three major lanes under pressure at once.

Euphoria Episode 4 arrives with the season coming off its messiest hour yet. Episode 3, “The Ballad of Paladin,” turned Nate and Cassie’s wedding into a disaster piece: their overbuilt suburban fantasy collapsed when Naz confronted Nate over his $550,000 debt, then escalated the threat by attacking him and cutting off his pinky toe. Cassie, […]

After a remarkable velocity drop on his fastball in the first inning of today’s start, Brewers’ starter Brandon Woodruff left the game with the team’s head trainer. Though the coaches apparently were alarmed from the start, it wasn’t until the middle of the second inning when they officially pulled him from the game: We’ll provide […]

The Athletics (15-14) and Royals (12-17) close the slate in Oakland with two teams arriving from very different emotional places.

The Giants (13-16) and Phillies (10-19) meet in Philadelphia with both clubs trying to steady very different problems. San Francisco has hovered near .500 despite a choppy offense, while Philadelphia is still digging out from a brutal start that cost Rob Thomson his job and turned Don Mattingly’s debut into a reset point. Tuesday’s 7-0 […]

Great American Ball Park hosts the second game of this set with Cincinnati 19-10 and carrying an eight-wins-in-10 stretch, while Colorado 13-17 continues to toggle between brief offensive bursts and quieter road stretches.
