ATLANTA -- Ninth inning. Mets leading by three. Heart of Atlanta’s order due to bat. It was a classic save situation. Yet when the visitors' bullpen door swung open late Monday night at Truist Park, Kodai Senga -- not $51 million closer Devin Williams -- was the one who came

SAN DIEGO -- Red-hot Jackson Merrill hit a monster go-ahead, two-run home run in the seventh inning and the Padres beat the Brewers, 3-2, on Monday night in the opener of a big three-game series at Petco Park. Merrill put a huge uppercut swing on an 83 mph changeup from

The amount of talent across MLB this season is immense. It seems that every night we see something amazing, perhaps even something we've not seen before, or at least not seen in a long time. A crazy-fast pitch. An incredible offensive game. An insane defensive play. That makes it a

ST. LOUIS – A little nominative determinism can go a long way, and for the bulk of Monday’s series opener at Busch Stadium, the Phillies were the beneficiaries. In need of some length to protect a bruised bullpen and wanting to see one of their most tantalizing prospects turn in

TORONTO -- Adley Rutschman's weekend in Worcester, where he played two Minor League rehab games with Boston's Triple-A affiliate, was apparently enough.

Here's a trivia question to get us started: Over the last seven weeks, which relief pitchers have the highest strikeout rates? You've probably already thought of a few names. Yep, you're right, Mason Miller (42.9%) is on the list. So is Seattle's Andrés Muñoz (46.7%). It shouldn't be a shock

SAN FRANCISCO -- This was a game the Astros simply couldn’t afford to lose, and it looked like they were going to do just that when they were down to their final strike in the ninth inning Monday night against the Giants at Oracle Park. In fact, the Giants’ win

MINNEAPOLIS -- When the Twins acquired Dean Kremer from the Orioles prior to last week’s Trade Deadline, it did not grab headlines, thanks largely to his inflated ERA following a couple of rough starts in an injury-interrupted season. If the Kremer who has made two starts for Minnesota so far

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays are going to make this interesting, aren’t they? With another win Monday night, 2-1, to open their series against the Red Sox, the Blue Jays carried over some momentum from their recent 4-3 road trip. It’s still a steep hill to climb, given all of

Minor League Baseball in the cornfields? Is this heaven? No, it's the MiLB at Field of Dreams game between the Triple-A St. Paul Saints and the Iowa Cubs. The Minors are returning to the iconic "Field of Dreams" movie set in Dyersville, Iowa, for the first time in four years,

SAN DIEGO – The way Pat Murphy sees it, there’s something reassuring in the Brewers owning the best record in baseball with nearly 75% of the regular season in the books and so little offensive production in the past two months from their two most highly-paid hitters. Imagine what they

MLB and the MLBPA held their first bargaining session on May 12 as both parties began working toward the next labor agreement. The CBA expires on Dec. 1. Competitive balance will be a focus during discussions, if not the primary issue. Here’s what you need to know about the state

TORONTO -- Jameson Taillon left his Blue Jays home debut early after just four innings with right forearm discomfort, yet another blow to a rotation that cannot escape them. Taillon was cruising against the Red Sox, too, which adds some salt to the wound. After a pair of walks in

PHOENIX -- Injuries have been a recurring theme for the Diamondbacks this year, but Monday provided a bit of a reprieve with right-hander Michael Soroka returning from the IL and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo apparently not injured seriously after being removed from the game before the top of the fifth inning.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Byron Buxton is nearing a return to active duty. Buxton made a pair of significant steps toward a return to action on Monday, and the hope is he will be reinstated from the injured list by the end of the week. Prior to the Twins’ game against the

ATLANTA -- Spencer Strider and Hurston Waldrep might not have time to build back up in time to pitch again this year. But as Braves manager Walt Weiss spoke to reporters Monday afternoon, he was happy to say both pitchers were recently cleared to begin a throwing program. “I don't

SAN DIEGO -- Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove knows not to get too far ahead of himself in his nearly two-year quest to get back on the mound. This time, though, it feels more real than it ever has after his second rehab outing.

ST. LOUIS -- A mere week after acquiring him from the Giants alongside Luis Arraez at the Trade Deadline, the Phillies placed RHP Caleb Kilian on the injured list Monday with a strained left oblique. “They said moderate strain,” interim manager Don Mattingly said Monday before the first game of
