Not so long ago, the errors seen at Camden Yards in the fifth inning would’ve likely been seen with the Orioles in the field rather than at the plate. On Sunday afternoon, though, the myriad mistakes were courtesy of the Los Angeles Angels, part of a second consecutive four-run inning for Baltimore. There was the…

An emotional Ian Happ dropped his head into his hands as he digested the news Sunday morning in the visitors clubhouse at Dodger Stadium. Chicago Cubs manager David Ross called a pregame meeting to go over the team schedule and plans for the upcoming All-Star break. But then Ross had one additional detail to share,…

As the Ravens trudged off the practice fields in Owings Mills last month, headed for their summer break, it was easy to imagine what the team could be in January but harder to project who it might have in September. The Ravens’ top offensive tackle was missing. So were their top two running backs. And…

This was a good old-fashioned pitching duel, but that’s nothing new for Taijuan Walker. A couple of weeks after dueling against Astros right-hander Justin Verlander, Walker went toe-to-toe with one of the best starting pitchers in the game right now in Sandy Alcantara. Walker, in another outstanding performance, dazzled across seven shutout innings in the…

The Chicago Cubs are still a week away from the All-Star break, yet two pitchers are already on the verge of reaching career-high workloads.

The top of the 2022 Major League Baseball draft class is littered with high school talent. The highest-selected prep player of the Orioles’ rebuild has shown why they should have no hesitation taking another with this year’s first overall pick.

EUGENE, Ore. – Like the river that runs northward through the heart of Eugene, the journey to the World Track and Field Championships this month is full of twists and turns, winding through parts of eight decades, a course steered by men defined both by their vision and defiance.
