Rhys Hoskins drives in four runs as Brewers top Mets

NEW YORK — Rhys Hoskins drove in four runs, a day after his hard slide into Jeff McNeil caused dugouts to empty, and Yohan Ramirez was ejected for throwing behind the Milwaukee designated hitter’s back in the Brewers’ 7-6 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday. Hoskins hit a two-run single in a three-run […]

June MLB delivers D.C. thunder, a mysterious Arizona phone number and a walk-off triple play in Bronx

There was no June swoon for weird, wacky and wonderful in baseball. The greatest game provided another load of strikeouts, including immaculate ones, home runs and unusual name connections, led by a threesome of Santanas on one play, and Griffin Jax and Skye Bolt in one week.

April MLB Quirkjians — From Jazz and Pop to Ryan, Ryan, Ryan and Brian

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has a home run problem. What’s going on?

Look, the New York Yankees have plenty of issues, and Cole is hardly the biggest of them, but when you sign the most lucrative contract for a pitcher in baseball history, the expectations are skyscraping, especially in New York and for a storied franchise that has not been to the World Series since 2009.
