CLEVELAND — At the end of the day, putting aside the drama and controversy surrounding the fact that it took two innings to happen, the official scorer got it right. Chandler Simpson’s ground ball off the glove of Paul Goldschmidt in the sixth inning Sunday at Steinbrenner Field was a hit, and had Max Fried […]
Padres first baseman Luis Arraez was released from the hospital after a frightening scene on Sunday. Arraez bunted to first base and attempted to beat Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubon to the bag, but collided with Dubon in what The Post’s Jon Heyman described as “one of the scariest collisions you’ll ever see.” Arraez was […]
Just because it’s April doesn’t mean that Philadelphia media will let the Phillies off the hook for blowing Sunday’s game against the Marlins.

Monday night he continued saving Metropolis, with two home runs in a 5-4 victory over the Phillies that extended their winning streak to five games. Lindor’s three-run blast in the seventh […]
The Mets and Carlos Mendoza are seeing a different Tylor Megill this season, one who has more confidence on the mound and trusts in his pitching arsenal, especially the newly developed sinker. The righty showed just that on Monday in his best start of the season. In front of 35,430 at Citi Field, Megill shut […]
The boost in average attendance at Citi Field over last season hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Mets front office. Over their first 10 home games entering Monday, the Mets were averaging 36,705 fans, which ranked seventh in MLB. Last season, the Mets finished 17th in home attendance, averaging 29,484. “Our fans in general have been […]
There was at least one thing Bryce Harper was certain of in 2018. For one season, Harper was one of the veteran voices of the Nationals in then-rookie Juan Soto’s ear as he went on to be runner-up for Rookie of the Year. For 102 of those games, they played in the outfield together. Early […]
