ST. LOUIS – Before Nolan Arenado would ever come to the plate in the bottom of the ninth and produce his 13th career walk-off RBI, which would cap a stirring Cardinals victory filled with at least a dozen pivotal moments, manager Oliver Marmol had one question for the high-profile pinch-hitter.

NEW YORK – Garrett Crochet entered the storied Red Sox-Yankees rivalry by giving the visitors a commodity that has been lacking of late from the starting rotation: innings. The power lefty wasn’t at his best, but he was good enough to lift his recently struggling Sox to an important 10-7

DETROIT -- As Seiya Suzuki discussed Pete Crow-Armstrong on Saturday afternoon, the Cubs’ designated hitter positioned his hands in front of his chest, pretending to hold a small child.

In baseball, we've often heard of dad strength -- you know, when a Major League dad launches a home run or three after welcoming a child into the world. But there's mom strength on the diamond, too. A case-in-point: Danielle Gibson Whorton used her mom strength on Saturday when she

MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers waited all night for that clutch hit to end things. After Trevor Megill’s second blown save of the season in the ninth inning, Milwaukee walked it off in dramatic fashion in the bottom half. Caleb Durbin hit the first pitch he saw from right-hander David Morgan

You never stop being a dad. We saw that ring true before the fifth inning of Saturday’s Mariners-Angels game at Angel Stadium. The Halos' first-base coach Eric Young Sr. left a protein bar in the first-base coach’s box for his son, Eric Young Jr., who mans the box for Seattle.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Unlike Tom Glavine, Craig Kimbrel at least got to pitch one more time for the Braves before abruptly being shown the door. Kimbrel will forever be recognized as one of the greatest relievers in Braves history. But his return to Atlanta’s roster lasted just one day. After
