SEATTLE -- Mike Leake might not be in Seattle in two weeks. He could be dealt ahead of the July 31 Trade Deadline and might soon be pitching in a pennant chase. He certainly threw like he was in one during the Mariners’ 10-0 win over the Angels on Friday.

The Dodgers would absolutely love to trade for a reliever who would give manager Dave Roberts another option in those pesky late innings. As great as L.A. has been this season, the bullpen may be the only thing that keeps president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman awake at night. Shoring

SAN FRANCISCO -- As the Giants’ stalemate against the Mets extended into extra innings for the second consecutive night, Tyler Beede and the injured Evan Longoria gathered in the clubhouse to watch the action unfold on television. When the cameras showed Pablo Sandoval lift a routine fly ball to left

DETROIT -- The ball was not yet in Blue Jays center fielder Teoscar Hernandez’s glove for the final out of the seventh inning on Friday night at Comerica Park, and Marcus Stroman's satisfied stroll to the visiting dugout was well underway. Stroman had thrown 101 pitches without issuing a walk

ATLANTA -- When asked about the possibility of recording 30 homers and 30 stolen bases this season, Ronald Acuña Jr. flashed his confident smile and showed more of the youthful excitement the baseball world has enjoyed since he brought his dynamic talents to the big leagues last year. “30-30 is

LOS ANGELES -- Whatever happens between now and the July 31 Trade Deadline, Dodgers fans probably got a glimpse of the October bullpen on Friday night when Kenta Maeda pitched in relief. In his first non-start of the year, the reluctant reliever threw a 1-2-3 eighth inning with two strikeouts,

Enshrinement awaits the six-member Class of 2019 when the National Baseball Hall of Fame holds its annual induction ceremony this weekend. Mariano Rivera, Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina, Lee Smith, Harold Baines and the late Roy Halladay will be saluted Sunday afternoon in Cooperstown, N.Y., with their bronze plaques unveiled before

There have only been 23 perfect games in Major League history, but there have been several occasions in which other pitchers' names could have been etched in the history books had it not been for a hitter reaching base in the ninth inning or later. Here are the 12 most

On July 20, 1969, most Americans were consumed by the event of a lifetime: the Apollo 11 lunar landing. The Giants were no different. Giants groundskeeper Matty Schwab found space in his work area underneath the right-field grandstand at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park to plug in a black-and-white television set.

HOUSTON -- José Altuve and Alex Bregman got a sellout crowd at Minute Maid Park roaring Friday night by hitting back-to-back homers in the third inning against the Rangers. Rookie slugger Yordan Alvarez sent them into a frenzy. Alvarez followed Altuve and Bregman by hitting a mammoth, 474-foot homer to

SAN FRANCISCO -- As the Mets try to ready him for a Trade Deadline audition, Zack Wheeler threw 13 pitches off a mound Friday in what manager Mickey Callaway described as “glorified catch.” Still, it was a step forward for Wheeler, who had not thrown off a mound since July

MINNEAPOLIS -- Most teams would find it difficult to brush off a loss as brutal as what the A's experienced in the opener against the Twins at Target Field, but as they’ve shown time and again, there’s something different about this club. Oakland knocked off Minnesota, 5-3, on Friday night,

CINCINNATI -- Adam Wainwright had one request when he walked off the mound after giving up seven runs in the fourth inning Friday night. “Pick me up,” he told his teammates in the dugout. “Let’s win this thing.” Two innings later, the Cardinals had erased a seven-run deficit, scoring 10

NEW YORK -- From the moment his bat made contact with the ball, Edwin Encarnacion started to run. On a particularly hot summer night at Yankee Stadium -- the temperature on the field hit triple digits at first pitch -- he might not have expected his line drive to carry

CLEVELAND -- Indians manager Terry Francona said it was nearly impossible for a rookie to go over 100 plate appearances without hitting some sort of a wall. Although Oscar Mercado did his best to prove his skipper wrong, his bat went cold after 153 at-bats. Mercado then went 1-for-25, but

PHOENIX -- The D-backs offense bounced back in a big way Friday night as they outslugged the Brewers, 10-7, at Chase Field to pull to within one game of the second National League Wild Card spot. “I was really pleased with how we swung the bats today,” D-backs manager Torey

BALTIMORE -- David Price has said previously -- whether it’s the positioning of the backstop or the feel of the mound -- that he enjoys playing in Baltimore no matter if it’s in a Red Sox jersey or that of another of his previous American League East stops. It’s not

PITTSBURGH -- Foul ball. Foul ball. Foul ball. Jean Segura was doing all he could against Kyle Crick with two outs and the bases loaded in the eighth. He had fallen behind, 1-2, to begin the at-bat. But after the Phillies came up empty-handed in the same situation in the

SEATTLE -- After yet another rough outing on Thursday against the Astros, the Angels designated veteran right-hander Matt Harvey for assignment before Friday’s game against the Mariners. Harvey gave up six runs over six innings against Houston, giving him a 7.09 ERA in 12 starts. Among pitchers with at least
