SAN DIEGO (AP) — A heckler next to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ dugout spent his entire Sunday giving an earful to the visitors, including a nonstop barrage of digs and chirps at Shohei Ohtani for his hitless performance in a portentous weekend series against the San Diego Padres. When Ohtani crushed his 45th homer and delivered the knockout blow in …

Aug 22, 2025, 08:44 PM ET MILWAUKEE — Willy Adames couldn’t have scripted a much better scenario for his return to Milwaukee to face his former team. But the San Francisco Giants shortstop would have preferred a different ending. Adames homered twice Friday as he played at American Family Field for the first time since leaving the Brewers, with one …

TAMPA — It is once again time to embark on another 72-hour craze over the legitimacy of the Yankees’ bats and how they are changing the sport. That is what happens when they club a franchise-record nine home runs, in case you had forgotten. For the second time this season, the first sparking the torpedo bat fad after the second …

TAMPA — The Yankees have trifected the trifecta. For the third time this season, the Yankees crushed back-to-back-to-back home runs — happening in the first inning all three times — on Tuesday night at Steinbrenner Field. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton each went deep against Rays right-hander Shane Baz in a span of seven pitches. Judge clobbered his …

HOUSTON (AP) — Nick Kurtz already had three homers and five hits with his parents and godparents in attendance as he began his final at-bat with a chance to make history, but none of that was top of mind for the Athletics’ astonishing rookie slugger. With a position player pitching for the Houston Astros, Kurtz just didn’t want to embarrass …

Jul 24, 2025, 06:43 PM ET ROCHESTER, N.Y. — New York Yankees prospect Spencer Jones homered in his first three at-bats in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s 10-8 loss to Rochester on Thursday. A frequent subject of trade rumors, the left-handed hitting Jones — a towering figure at the plate at 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds — took the minor league home run lead …

NEW YORK — For as pleasant as the contributions of the Mets’ younger hitters have been the past two days at Citi Field, this offense will not — cannot — return to prime form until Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso do the same. Wednesday, perhaps, marked the beginning of that trend. Lindor snapped a career-worst 0-for-31 streak with a two-hit …

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyle Schwarber’s deep shots — from Philadelphia to the All-Star Game — often end up going, going, gone. The Phillies aren’t ready to say goodbye to their star slugger quite yet as Schwarber’s four-year, $79-million contract expires at the end of the season. Fresh off winning All-Star Game MVP honors after he hit three homers in the …

ATLANTA (AP) — Kyle Schwarber was nervous. He had played in Game 7 of the World Series, homered for the United States in the World Baseball Classic. But he had never walked up to the plate in an All-Star Game swing-off. No one had. “That’s kind of like the baseball version of a shootout,” he said after homering on all …
