SEATTLE -- Aaron Judge had already rounded the bases twice as he patrolled right field in the eighth inning on Monday night, a strong showing that would fit nicely into the reigning American League Most Valuable Player’s growing collection of above-average nights. As he tracked a deep fly ball, the

CHICAGO -- During his pregame media session on Monday, Angels manager Phil Nevin said there was a “fairly good chance” Ben Joyce would make his Major League debut later that evening. Whether Nevin could have prepared the 22-year-old flamethrower for the situation he was called on for or not, the

When you think of iconic splash hits into McCovey Cove in San Francisco, you think of Barry Bonds. It's hard not to envision that mighty left-handed swing depositing balls into the bay. But another name will now be mentioned in the same breath, an unexpected one who wears the same

The starting pitching faltered and the offense couldn’t overcome the deficits, lessening the

HOUSTON -- Royce Lewis is relentlessly optimistic. Almost a little too much for his manager. But in Lewis’ return from a second ACL surgery -- exactly a year to the day he suffered the tear in his right knee -- that positivity paid off. Lewis, who sensed “something special” was

CHICAGO -- Marcus Stroman stood atop the mound and clapped his glove. The Cubs’ starter was showing appreciation for the cheers he received after finally flinching and relinquishing a hit in the seventh inning on Monday afternoon. Then, Stroman finished the job. In a 1-0 win over the Rays at

OAKLAND -- When Michael Soroka's promising career was derailed for nearly three years -- which featured numerous setbacks, including a pair of Achilles tendon tears -- two things in particular kept him motivated while he worked his way back. "A day like today, and the people that believed in me,"

ST. LOUIS -- Nearly seven years ago, Mike Mayers stood on the same mound he pitched on Monday afternoon. In 2016, he was making his Major League debut for the Cardinals, who had drafted him in the third round three years earlier. In the series opener against St. Louis, he

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles’ continued offensive struggles during a 5-0 loss to the Guardians became a secondary worry for the club late Monday afternoon.

Who are the best players born on each day of the year? We have a list for every day on the calendar. Here’s a subjective ranking of the top five for May 30.

If the late 2010s were dominated by strikeouts, and home runs defined baseball in the late 90s and early 2000s, the stolen base clearly had its moment in the 80s. In that decade, steals outnumbered homers five times (1980-81, 1983, 1988-89), after that had happened just three times between 1940-79.

DETROIT -- Nathan Eovaldi admittedly felt a little frustrated on Monday afternoon. If you look at the scoreboard, it was a perfectly acceptable day. Eovaldi and a trio of relievers -- Brock Burke, Jonathan Hérnandez and José Leclerc -- blanked the Tigers in a 5-0 victory at Comerica Park to

SEATTLE -- Bryce Miller, at some point, was bound to come down to Earth from the meteoric start to his Major League career. It was just the abruptness in which it unfolded that stood out most when it finally happened on Monday night. Miller was ambushed for 11 hits and

OAKLAND -- Two weeks ago, Lucas Erceg was toiling through his sixth year in Milwaukee’s farm system unsure if a shot in the Majors would ever come. In a tale of how quickly things can change in baseball, Erceg is now a big leaguer on his childhood team and firing

The Padres needed catching help. Gary Sánchez needed a home. This match felt like an obvious one from the moment Sánchez was designated for assignment by the Mets last week, and it came to fruition on Monday. The Padres claimed Sánchez off waivers from New York in an attempt to
