• Chicago Cubs vs. Washington Nationals preview, Sunday 9/22, 1:20 CT

Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images The Cubs go for the series win. Rain today. Here's the local radar to keep handy. Sunday notes... NOT A RELIEF: The game-changing home run off Keegan Thompson yesterday was the 16th this season surrendered by a Cubs reliever to the first batter he has faced — more than one quarter of all 60 homers served up by Cubs relievers. Thompson became the 10th ...2024

Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images Atlanta’s choke job pushes them further back Tuesday’s action wasn’t a total loss for the Atlanta Braves, with three of the four teams in the wild card picture taking losses, but their unfortunate late-inning collapse now looms large with such small margins.

The Cubs had Shōta Imanaga, Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge combine for a no-hitter over the Pirates Wednesday evening at Wrigley Field. That's still a rare enough feat that I thought you'd like to see a list of the 20 other combined no-hitters in major-league history. June 23, 1917, first game. B...2024

• Royals nearly no-hit, battle back, but lose walk-off 3-2 to Astros

Thomas Shea-USA TODAY Sports The offense didn’t exactly pick up the slack. The Royals didn’t get a hit until the eighth inning, managed to tie the game up in the ninth, only to lose in the bottom of the inning on a walk-off RBI double by Jose Altuve to fall 3-2 to the Astros Friday night. Seth Lugo started for the Royals and gave up a solo home run in the third to Ben Gamel, a 356-foot “bl...2024
