On June 12, 2026, Jacob Misiorowski had a game for the ages against the Phillies. The flamethrowing right-hander struck out 15 Phillies hitters in a 95-pitch shutout, didn’t issue a walk and only allowed one hit (a leadoff single from Kyle Schwarber in the fourth inning). The Miz’s 15 strikeouts

Prior to Friday night's game between the Rangers and Red Sox at Fenway Park, the respective bullpens for Texas and Boston dapped each other up. Hey, who says you can't greet an opponent before competition? Ironically, in a 10-1 Red Sox win, Boston used more relievers than Texas did: Tyron

Home run celebrations have been one of the most creative outlets for MLB players during a game. And on Friday night in New York, the Mets went Marvel. When Bo Bichette launched a solo home run to left field off Braves starter Spencer Strider in the first inning, the club

DENVER -- Prior to Friday night’s dramatic 9-7 win in 10 innings over the Rockies at Coors Field, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that one of the conversations he regularly has with his players and staff involves the “full catastrophe” that is seemingly always either lurking or present during any

When fans cast their ballots each year to determine who will receive the honor of being named an All-Star, there is always intrigue with close races, first-time All-Stars and other storylines. But it's also always interesting to see which player received the most votes of all. In the 50-plus years

The great Hank Aaron was selected as an All-Star in a record 21 of his 23 MLB seasons. Willie Mays and Stan Musial were right behind him, with All-Star appearances in 20 seasons apiece. But who are the active leaders in All-Star appearances? With balloting underway for the 2026 MLB

When Shohei Ohtani was in high school in Iwate, Japan, he wrote down a list of life goals. As you might imagine, many of them had to do with baseball. And in nine Major League seasons so far, he’s already produced a body of work that is unmatched in the

A 3-6 putout in a baseball game is nothing out of the ordinary. You have a runner at first base, there's a ground ball to the first baseman, he goes to second to get the lead runner -- you know the drill. But what about two 3-6 putouts ... on

Pete Crow-Armstrong got off to a rough start at the plate this season after he put together a breakout campaign in 2025. Entering Saturday’s game against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, he had a .224/.314/.362 slash line with six home runs in ’26.

We’re just about one-third of the way through the 2026 regular season, and as division and Wild Card races begin to take shape ahead of the All-Star break, it’s time to check in on which teams would be in the postseason, along with what the matchups would look like if

Over the years, legendary Dodgers left-hander Sandy Koufax has often been seen cheering on his old club from a front-row seat at Dodger Stadium. The Hall of Famer has been on hand for many iconic moments for the franchise, including three World Series titles in the past six years.

Cincinnatians love their Skyline Chili, an institution that has grown to more than 100 locations in Ohio and Kentucky. Skyline has become such a beloved Queen City staple that it’s even on the menu in Queens. That’s right: During the Reds-Mets series this week at Citi Field in New York,

If you’re playing against Corbin Carroll, you don’t want to see his “funny face.” “The faces that he makes when he's rounding second, going for third, are pretty funny,” D-backs designated hitter/first baseman Pavin Smith told MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert last year. “Then, he slides into third and it's just back

Only 26 pitchers have defeated all 30 Major League teams, a feat with obvious obstacles along the way. For one, MLB’s 29th and 30th teams -- the Rays and D-backs -- didn’t play their first seasons until 1998. Additionally, beating all 30 teams requires wearing multiple uniforms throughout a pitcher’s

DENVER -- Following their 5-4 loss to the Rangers in their series finale at Coors Field on Wednesday afternoon, the Rockies found themselves at 19-31 over the first 50 games of the season. It’s a vast improvement from their 8-40 mark at this time one year ago, but given how

DENVER -- “Can I have your autograph?” It was a strange question, considering it was asked of one Major League reliever by another after their team had just lost a game. But that was what Ryan Thompson asked Kevin Ginkel after the D-backs’ 4-2 loss to the Rockies at Coors

DENVER -- The D-backs scored their first run in Saturday afternoon’s 4-2 loss against the Rockies at Coors Field in a unique way: they stole it. As in, they stole home in the second inning thanks to a well-executed double steal by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Jose Fernandez. Gurriel, who

DENVER -- When Merrill Kelly took the mound at Coors Field in the D-backs’ series opener against the Rockies on Friday night, he had made 177 starts in his Major League career and 382 professional starts overall.

He’s the MVP. No, not Shohei Ohtani -- although Ohtani is the reigning National League Most Valuable Player and has won four Most Valuable Player Awards during his magnificent career. We’re talking about the Most Valuable Pup. That would be Ohtani’s famous dog, Decoy. And with Decoy’s human off to
