Ryan Braun and Milwaukee are still chasing a wild-card spot in the National League, and now Pittsburgh stands in their way.

Wasn't it really hot in the Bay Area just a few hours ago?

Ryan Goins hit a solo home run, Marco Estrada won his third straight decision and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the slumping Baltimore Orioles 4-3 on Monday night. Darwin Barney had two hits and an RBI as the Blue Jays won their third straight and handed the Orioles their fifth consecutive defeat. Mark

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Indians All-Star second baseman Jose Ramirez has departed their game against Detroit with a bruised left forearm.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo was pacing in the living room of his Southern California home, thinking about the upcoming season, thinking about his players, thinking about everything he had to do, when the phone rang. General manager Mike Hazen was calling.

The Orioles have left themselves with little margin for error over the regular season's final three weeks. This time of the year, every loss is more costly, and every mistake is magnified, and in Monday night's series opener in Toronto, the Orioles' blooper-riddled game helped do them in.

Victory tonight will tie Zack Greinke with Randy Johnson for most wins ever in a single season at Chase Field. In 2002, Johnson went 14-3 with a 2.12 ERA (at then Bank One Ballpark); Greinke is currently 13-1, with a 2.31 ERA, even though to this point he has pitched five fewer times in Arizona than

Admittedly, I wrote off the Cardinals' shot at October a couple weeks ago. Yet, with 19 games to play they sit three games out of a wild card spot and two games out of the division lead. Here come the Cardinals. I should have learned by now. With this franchise, it ain't over 'til it'

Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury broke a record held by Pete Rose ... just not the one everyone knows.

Three hours before the Angels took the field Saturday in Seattle, Mike Trout and Justin Upton lounged inside Safeco Field's visiting clubhouse. A question about his new teammate occurred to Trout. “Hey,” he said, “when's the last time you hit outside?” “Psssh,” came the reply. Upton later estimated

SAN FRANCISCO — Popular pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, who played on two World Series winning teams and was an All-Star in 2011, will retire as a member of the Giants in a ceremony Sunday at AT&T Park. Vogelsong, winner of the club's coveted Willie Mac Award in 2011, will be honored before the Giants'

Detroit Tigers' JaCoby Jones and Nick Castellanos collide going for a ball hit by Edwin Encarnacion during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio on Sept. 11, 2017. Jones was charged with an error on the play. Ron Schwane, AP

The Tampa Bay Rays hardly sounded up in arms publicly over MLB's decision to switch their home pennant-race series against the Yankees to New York this week. More than concerning themselves about facing the Yankees within the city limits, though, they simply and rightly were relieved to have heard

Before the Blue Jays' Darwin Barney could even struggle sliding into third base, he had to make it there. Which the Orioles let him do by throwing the ball toward home after the cutoff instead of keeping him at second base. Barney zipped around the bases and turned a probable double into a triple

The first loss felt innocuous. On Aug. 26, a crisp, clear evening out at Chavez Ravine, there was no way Dodgers manager Dave Roberts could have foreseen the avalanche awaiting his team. After getting shut out by the Milwaukee Brewers, Roberts wore a smile as he pulled up a chair at his postgame news

Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton’s power surge has reignited one of baseball’s fiercest debates.

As Hurricane Irma continued to move northward on its way out of Florida on Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers began to get a sense of what this coming weekend will hold for them and their three-game series against the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park. Miami was hit hard by rain, wind damage and storm surge,

When he spoke to 106.7 the FAN in D.C.s The Sports Junkies last week, Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said Bryce Harper was progressing in his rehab from the significant bone bruise in his left knee and calf strain that landed the Nationals 24-year-old outfielder on the 10-Day Disabled List last month

He was at designated hitter Monday, though, after a busy Sunday in right field that saw him make several long runs for Yankees fly balls and bloopers. His leg felt fine entering the game, but he wasn't able to give his normal effort. “I ran a lot yesterday, so it got tired a little bit,” Mazara said
