SEATTLE -- Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez had never hit for the cycle at any level prior to Sunday afternoon. Not while he was playing as a kid in Cuba, not while he was in the Minor Leagues and not when he was sitting on his couch with a controller in

DENVER -- Giants designated hitter Jorge Soler kicked off Sunday’s 3-2 win over the Rockies at Coors Field with a bang, crushing a 478-foot tank out to center field that ranked as the longest home run of the 2024 season so far, passing Shohei Ohtani's 476-foot shot on June 18,

NEW YORK -- For two months, the Rays scratched their heads and struggled to figure out what was wrong with Randy Arozarena. The 2023 All-Star outfielder had provided remarkably consistent production over the previous three seasons, putting together similar statistics and always shining in the spotlight. But that player didn’t

KANSAS CITY -- As the Royals put together a three-run eighth inning en route to their 4-1 win over the White Sox on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium, manager Matt Quatraro was thinking ahead to the ninth and who he was going to send out to the mound. Starter Seth

ATLANTA -- The Braves lost much more than a series against the Cardinals on Sunday. In the morning prior to Sunday’s series finale against St. Louis, Atlanta placed All-Star left-hander Max Fried on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 18, with left forearm neuritis. In the ninth inning of

SEATTLE -- With the Mariners’ offense in a dry spell and the club now tied atop the AL West standings after losing a 10-game lead, shakeups were bound to come. The first landed on Sunday afternoon, when first baseman Ty France was placed on outright waivers, a source told MLB.com’s

ATLANTA -- Not long after slotting Paul Goldschmidt into the No. 7 spot in the batting order for the first time there in nearly 12 years, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told a story about a time when the star felt much more in tune with his approach to the plate.

Juan Soto was swinging away during his second-inning at-bat at Yankee Stadium on Sunday. But not at a baseball. Soto’s second plate appearance against Rays pitcher Shane Baz was interrupted when what appeared to be a bee flew in front of the Yankees All-Star outfielder.

CHICAGO -- Jon Lester got a front-row seat to Shota Imanaga’s start at Wrigley Field on Sunday against the D-backs, and the former Cubs great and 2016 World Series champ had the type of impression you may expect amid Imanaga’s stellar season. “He’s lived up to what everybody's been talking

MINNEAPOLIS -- If you refer to a baseball team using the term “circus,” that’s usually a bad thing. So instead, let’s call the Brewers’ 8-7 victory over the Twins on Sunday a carnival of sorts. It had a little bit of everything and something for everyone, a celebration of the

DENVER -- Bob Melvin had to get something off his chest. Frustrated with some of the umpiring calls in the first two games of this series, Melvin took a second to air his grievances during the lineup card exchange prior to Sunday's first pitch. But his complaints weren’t well-received by

NEW YORK -- The Yankees had the bases loaded in the first inning on Sunday, and that sound they heard was the knocking of opportunity, a drumbeat that they must capitalize upon to escape a slide that has spanned more than a calendar month. Those chances produced nothing, as Gleyber

ARLINGTON -- It wasn’t much of a challenge for Orioles manager Brandon Hyde to line up his starting pitchers coming out of the All-Star break. He sent right-handers Corbin Burnes, Grayson Rodriguez and Dean Kremer to the mound at Globe Life Field this weekend, in that order. “I wanted to

With the Trade Deadline less than two weeks away, one of MLB’s hottest hitters is about to be thrust into the spotlight. Playing for a rebuilding Athletics club, designated hitter Brent Rooker’s outstanding season might be flying under the radar. However, the 29-year-old should be a popular name on the

WASHINGTON -- The angles of the stands surrounding the Nationals’ bullpen blocked Kyle Finnegan’s full view of the soaring ball, but the closer didn’t need to see it to know what had just happened in a tie game. Finnegan could tell when he heard it leave James Wood's bat that

CLEVELAND -- Just to be clear: Those looming question marks about the state of the Padres’ rotation are mostly unrelated to the starters who took the ball in Cleveland this weekend. Because right now, three-fifths of that San Diego rotation looks pretty darn stellar. A day after Dylan Cease pitched

ARLINGTON -- Rangers manager Bruce Bochy walked out to the mound with two outs in the fifth, as if to remove starting pitcher Andrew Heaney from the game after a two-out double from Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson. The chat was quick. Heaney said he barely knew what his manager was
