ARLINGTON -- Right fielder Rob Refsnyder's acrobatic catch stole the show in the Mariners' 3-0 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday -- as did starting pitcher Bryan Woo’s incredulous reaction.

Waggy Wednesdays aren't just for mammals at the ballpark. In Hub City, they're apparently for marsupials too.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants have gone deep only twice over their first 10 home games of the year. Both shots have come off the bat of the same man: Rafael Devers. Devers flexed his tremendous power by hammering a three-run blast to snap a scoreless deadlock in the sixth

Chase DeLauter's swing has a certain je ne sais quoi. You might think it looks beautiful. You might think it looks choppy. You might think it looks like Chase Utley's because of its short, slashing movement. Or you might think the only resemblance between DeLauter and Utley is that they're

Opening Day marks a new era for the longstanding relationship between MLB and ESPN. Though ESPN is no longer the home for “Sunday Night Baseball” (now on NBC) or the Home Run Derby (now on Netflix), the sports broadcasting network is actually bringing fans more baseball than ever.

TORONTO -- Shohei Ohtani uncorked a first-pitch sinker to George Springer that dropped below the zone. The two-way star's hand went to the back of his cap, and mirroring him from behind the dish, catcher Will Smith tapped his head to challenge the pitch. That set the first Automated Ball-Strike

In the 2026 World Baseball Classic final, Venezuela’s Eduardo Rodriguez and the United States’ Nolan McLean faced off in what ended up being a great pitchers' duel that ultimately ended in Venezuela’s first WBC title.

BOSTON -- The run prevention the Red Sox envisioned for this season took a while to make an entrance, but it has been out in full force the last two days. And with it came the club’s first two-game winning streak of the season, and what had been an elusive

The Braves started the season with 13 games in 13 days and with questions about whether their injury-depleted pitching staff could handle such a daunting stretch. Not only did the staff handle it just fine, it ended it with the best ERA in the Majors.

ARLINGTON -- Kyle Higashioka said it best on Tuesday night: “It gets kinda tiring losing to the same team.”
