LOS ANGELES -- By the time a team has a 14-run lead in a baseball game, the narrative is usually written. Yet, this sport has a funny way of delivering a little drama when the scoreboard suggests there is none left to be found. What unfolded in the final frames

We say it every year, and it bears repeating again: the Draft is hard. Front offices spend years scouting and analyzing a particular Draft class, but even the best baseball minds can’t predict what will happen with absolute certainty in the years after. Take the 2021 class ahead of its

PHOENIX -- TJ Rumfield dialed up a play that had been strangely missing from the Rockies’ offensive strategy -- the home run.

DENVER -- Outfielder Jordan Beck’s already difficult season was put on pause Monday when the Rockies placed him on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.
