The top two hitters in the majors square off Friday night when the New York Yankees face the Athletics in the opener of a three-game series in Sacramento, Calif.
Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial first mile marker of the baseball season, is still two weeks away. But it's not too early to wonder if the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs will be offering a playoff preview Friday night, when New York hosts Chicago in the opener of a three-game series between a pair of National League division leaders.
Three-time All-Star center fielder Chet Lemon, who won a World Series with the 1984 Detroit Tigers, died Thursday at his home in Florida. He was 70. "He was sleeping on his reclining sofa," his wife, Gigi Lemon, told the Detroit Free Press.

Good morning A’s Nation!
The team has the day off as they prepare for the New York Yankees to arrive in West Sacramento for a highly anticipated weekend series. The Gren & Gold are coming off of two straight losses but could have walked away from their previous series with a home sweep if things broke a bit more in their Athletics’ favor. If only the bullpen had held together a bit more. Can’t look backwards now though, especially with...
Rookie J.C. Escarra hit a pinch-hit walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning Wednesday night as the New York Yankees earned a 4-3 victory over the visiting San Diego Padres after being no-hit for 6 1/3 innings by Dylan Cease.
For a moment, it seemed as if the Seattle Mariners' streak was in jeopardy.
Dylan Moore's two-out double in the eighth inning plated the go-ahead run for the Seattle Mariners, who rallied to beat the Athletics 6-5 on Wednesday in West Sacramento, Calif.

So close to first place
The A’s dropped the second game of the series against the Mariners on Tuesday evening 5-3, giving away a late lead to their division rivals and forgoing a chance to tie the division lead. Rats!

Looking to tie the lead for the AL West
Back to it. The A’s won last night in epic walk off fashion for the team’s 20th victory but it’s time to turn the page and focus on today. The team is set to continue its series against the Mariners tonight at Sutter Health Park looking to win their second straight game against their division rival. A win would also draw these two teams even atop the AL West. Getting to first place this deep into May would be...
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 7–4 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday came at a potential cost. Star right fielder Teoscar Hernández exited the game with what was described as left hamstring tightness, and while no diagnosis has been made, the concern within the organization is real.

If you can’t do better than whiff 3 times with the bases loaded and nobody out, what can you do? Apparently, win the game the next inning. 25 years ago the A’s celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a rollicking 17-16 loss but in 2025 fortunes smiled just enough for the A’s to slink away 1 game out of 1st place and 4 games north of .500.
Here are some thoughts as the A’s...

Good morning A’s fans!
The Athletics have been patiently await the return of second baseman Zack Gelof from the injured list for the entirety of the season so far after the 25-year-old broke his right hamate bone in the waning days of Spring Training. The hope was that the young infielder would only need the bare minimum or close to it to recover, rehab, and return to the team and take his rightful place at the keystone. It would be six-to-eight...
