PITTSBURGH -- What a difference a few short days can make for a team’s fortune. The Pirates didn't have a single win to show for 18 runs scored during its four-game sweep at the hands of St. Louis earlier this week. But the team is now 2-0 since flipping the

DENVER -- Chris Sale continued his dominance against the Rockies on Saturday, mastering the challenging hitter-friendly Coors Field while earning his first career win in Colorado as the Braves breezed to a 9-1 win.

Every spring, a group of stars find themselves in unfamiliar territory, with a stat line that doesn't match their reputations.

Last offseason’s free-agent market was loaded with big names, with Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman and Kyle Schwarber leading the way. But were they the best signings of the offseason?

PITTSBURGH -- Walks will haunt, they say. Seven consecutive walks? That's a pitching-staff nightmare. It happened during a 17-7 rout of a Reds loss to the Pirates on Saturday at PNC Park. And it tied a Major League record that has only happened twice previously, with the last time coming

ST. LOUIS -- Jordan Walker widened his stance. Everything else suddenly started looking a whole lot bigger.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti vividly remembers José Ramírez’s MLB debut. The then-20-year-old entered as a pinch-runner for Carlos Santana in the ninth inning on Sept. 1, 2013, against the Tigers, and did not seem to lack confidence. “When he took his first lead, he

ST. LOUIS -- Every time Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan takes the mound, he dons a glove embroidered with a message that serves as a reminder that some things in life are bigger than baseball: "K ALS."

NEW YORK – The Yankees received a couple of home runs from Cody Bellinger, and it proved to be enough in a 9-4 victory over the Orioles on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, moving New York to a season-high 11 games over .500 at 22-11, the best in the American

CHICAGO – All Shota Imanaga could do after the ball nicked off the end of his glove was turn and watch. And from his vantage point on the mound, the Cubs' lefty saw shortstop Dansby Swanson in position to react to the ricochet.

Lately, the only thing that has slowed Ethan Holliday down was a hit-by-pitch. The Rockies No. 1 prospect (No. 19 overall) took a fastball off his left elbow on Thursday and left the game soon after, then was held out Friday. But he returned Saturday and didn’t miss a beat.

MIAMI -- Marlins right-hander Max Meyer tossed a career-high seven innings in Saturday’s 4-0 victory over the Phillies at loanDepot park. A self-deprecating Meyer implied it was about time after debuting nearly four years ago.

It's time to explore those "Grass Routes" again. The Minor League Baseball docuseries is back! The travelogue, hosted by MLB Pipeline's Jonathan Mayo, which celebrates the unique vibe of Minor League cities and spotlights how the local baseball teams are woven into the fabric of the community, is set to

SEATTLE -- Michael Massey called it a “playoff-type game” at T-Mobile Park on Saturday, in front of a packed crowd there to witness Randy Johnson’s number retirement. It was a crowd that stayed to witness one of the better pitchers’ duels yet this season. And there’s only one rule to

SAN DIEGO -- The White Sox entered this latest West Coast excursion riding a three-game sweep over the Angels, who presently reside at the bottom of the American League West.

DETROIT -- Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres had two hits in as many innings off Rangers starter Kumar Rocker Saturday night at Comerica Park, but then left the game with tightness in the left side, adding to Detroit’s rapidly growing injury list. Torres had an infield single in the first

WEST SACRAMENTO -- For a player of Nick Kurtz’s caliber, it was only fitting. There was a bit of irony in the demise of Kurtz’s historic streak of 20 consecutive games with a walk, a stretch that came to an end during the Athletics’ 14-6 loss to the Guardians on

WASHINGTON -- The Brewers needed one thing entering Saturday’s game vs. the Nationals: depth from starting pitcher Kyle Harrison. Between Milwaukee’s finale vs. Arizona on Thursday and the series opener vs. Washington on Friday, the Crew’s bullpen had thrown 11 2/3 innings. (Of course, in doing so the relief corps

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Shea Langeliers made sure his wife Raegan awoke to a few treats on her 28th birthday, including a cake and some chocolate-covered strawberries. But that wasn’t all: The Athletics catcher had some more presents for Raegan at Sutter Health Park during Saturday’s 14-6 loss to the Guardians.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The quality of Travis Bazzana’s plate appearances has been on full display over his first few days in the big leagues. But entering the seventh inning on Saturday, the 23-year-old still had a goose egg in the hits column. Bazzana wasted no further time getting on the

SEATTLE -- The Big Unit is getting a big statue. As part of his No. 51 retirement ceremony on Saturday, the Mariners revealed their plans to erect a statue outside T-Mobile Park recognizing Randy Johnson.

CHICAGO -- Ildemaro Vargas had his hitting streak snapped at 27 games when he went 0-for-4 in the D-backs' 2-0 loss to the Cubs on Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field.

SEATTLE -- Cal Raleigh was scratched from the Mariners’ lineup before Saturday’s game against the Royals due to "general soreness," manager Dan Wilson said following Seattle's 3-2 extra-innings loss.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Blue Jays’ best hitter and best pitcher each poses a big, philosophical question. Each year, we tend to land back on the same question with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Would you rather have a .325 hitter with 25 home runs or a .275 hitter with 40 home runs?
