The Cleveland Guardians finally broke out the lumber by scoring nine runs on eleven hits in defeating the Chicago White Sox. This was the Sox first loss in the playoffs after sweeping two games in the Wild Card Round and winning the first two in this Division Series in Cleveland. I guess playing on the road calmed Cleveland down a little and allowed them to concentrate on what they knew they had to do. The White Sox took an early one run lead in the bottom of the first.

Tuesday, September 29th Tonight is the first night of Major League Baseball’s Wild Card series. The contestants are the three wild card teams from each league and the division winner with the fewest number of victories. In the National League the Atlanta Braves won the East Division but had the “worst” record out of the three division winners. So, the Braves host the wild card team with the lowest winning percentage, which in this case is the Philadelphia Phillies. The best p

The Washington Nationals relied on their bullpen this afternoon, sending a total of six pitchers to the mound in a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The Nats won four and lost two in their six-game road trip to St. Louis and Detroit. They’ll finish the year at home starting Friday with a three-game series against the Mets. Today’s game was scoreless through the first five innings before Washington pushed a few runs across in the top of the sixth. Andrews Chaparro led off w

Sydney Sweeney is once again discovering that modern celebrity culture has an unusual rule: women are encouraged to celebrate their independence, confidence and control over their own image — until they make a choice that certain corners of the internet dislike. The 29-year-old actress has become the center of another social-media storm after appearing in a provocative advertising campaign for sports prediction platform Novig. The campaign features Sweeney posing with footbal

For the third game of the three-game series, the Nationals had a lead. But this time that lead came early and only lasted half an inning. No late-inning meltdown. Still a disappointing loss, but not as heartbreaking. The Nationals jumped out to that lead in the top of the third. Keibert Ruiz led off with a home run to right field, his 10th of the year. Nasim Nunez drew a base on balls and advanced to third when Jacob Young singled to center. James Wood walked, loading the bas

Believe it or not, the Washington Nationals did it again. Going into the bottom of the eighth with a 4-1 lead, the San Diego Padres pushed across four runs and held on for a 5-4 victory. I kid you not. Tonight’s game started out as a pitcher’s duel. The score was 1-0 Nationals through the first five innings. The lone run for the Nats was scored in the top of the second inning courtesy of Yohandy Morales’ home run, his second of the season. Washington added a couple runs in th

One of the many things I love about baseball is its inconsistency. You just never really know what’s going to happen from one game to the next. You may think you know and maybe place a bet or two on that supposed knowledge acquired through pod casts and tip lines and prediction markets, or whatever you may call them. But no one is right every time. Everyone ends up losing more than they win. That’s what keeps these sites in business. The only people getting rich in Vegas are

NEW YORK — Marta Kostyuk is turning her attention toward New York after another strong showing on the North American hard courts, with the Ukrainian star arriving at the U.S. Open buildup as the world No. 11 and one of the most dangerous players outside the very top tier of the women’s rankings. Kostyuk’s latest tournament ended Saturday in the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals, where American Coco Gauff produced a commanding 6-2, 6-2 victory. The score was one-sided, but the def

Jacob deGrom pitched 6 scoreless innings for the Texas Rangers, surrendering only a single to Brady House in the second inning. deGrom walked just 1 batter and struck out 11. The Rangers scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the 3rd, as Corey Seager hit his 13th home run to center field. 1-0 Texas. Andrew Alvarez went 5 innings for the Nationals, given up 1 run on 5 hits and striking out 5. The Rangers added their second run in the bottom of the 8th. Ezequiel Dura

The Washington Commanders played an outstanding game giving up just 7 points in their first exhibition game of the season, defeating the Dolphins on Friday, August 14, 20 – 7. The Dolphins scored their only points in the game on their opening drive, as they marched down the field, aided by 2 penalties and a spectacular one handed catch by Wide Receiver Caleb Douglas, on a pass from newly acquired Quarterback Malik Willis, to score a touchdown and their only points of the game
