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. Atlanta opened with a 5-2 win that looked even cleaner than the score, holding Chicago to one hit, riding a four-run fifth, and pushing the best record in baseball further into the […]

The Phillies (20-22) and Red Sox (17-24) move through the middle game at Fenway with two clubs wearing very different versions of urgency. Philadelphia has started to look alive under Don Mattingly, winning Tuesday’s opener 2-1 behind Zack Wheeler’s length and Kyle Schwarber’s fifth straight game with a homer.

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 old inn, just like the honeymoon suite in Hokum, carried its own set of house rules, literally, and harbored the Killer Clown.

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 Braves (27-13) and Dodgers (24-15) close this series in Los Angeles with Atlanta trying to finish a difficult West Coast swing the way it played Saturday night: sharp early, physical through the middle of the order, and comfortable letting its pitching staff protect a game state. The Dodgers still have the kind of top-end […]

After suffering a HBP in the bottom of the first inning, Red Sox 1B Willson Contreras has left the game. The team replaced him in the field with Andruw Monasterio, according to Chris Cotillo. This is a massive blow to a Boston lineup, especially considering this isn’t the first time Contreras has been bothered by […]
