Orioles lose to Phillies on walk-off hit, 4-3, as Yennier Cano uncharacteristically allows two runs in ninth

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:39:02 GMT

The Orioles entered Tuesday night 19-9 in one-run games this season. They came one out away from improving that figure once again.With All-Star Yennier Cano on the mound and the Orioles leading 3-2 with two outs in the ninth inning, Philadelphia’s Bryson Stott doubled in Bryce Harper to tie the game at 3. Then, after Jorge Mateo couldn’t throw J.T. Realmuto out at first base on a slow grounder, Alec Bohm ended the game with a single to left field.The result: a walk-off Phillies win and a one-run loss for the Orioles.Baltimore avoided a loss Monday night, but couldn’t do the same Tuesday as the tense game concluded with Phillies players celebrating their victory in right field and an announced crowd of 37,200 celebrating.Before the ninth, it was an auspicious night for the Orioles. Kyle Gibson pitched well against his former team and newcomer Shintaro Fujinami provided reason for optimism with two shutout innings. Ryan O’Hearn, who entered Tuesday a .171 hitte...

John Shipley: Twins batters must keep their feet on the gas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:39:02 GMT

The Twins seem to have recalibrated.Winners in nine of their past 11 games and four up on Cleveland in the American League Central before Tuesday’s game against Seattle at Target Field, this team more resembles, finally, the one that roared out of the gates with a 10-4 record than the one that staggered into the all-star break by getting swept by the Baltimore Orioles.This is all good news for the local 9 and their fans, and certainly makes for a better product on the field. The Twins entered Tuesday with a four-game winning streak — matching a season high — and consecutive walk-off victories at home. The Twins didn’t just come out of the break 9-2; they battled for just about all nine of those victories.Furthermore, they were competitive in all but one of those games, encouraging news for those who watched the Twins finish the unofficial first half of the season with a lackluster, if not downright depressing, 15-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.Since the break ended, it’s been a muc...

Twins officially sign first-rounder Walker Jenkins to deal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:39:02 GMT

Scott Boras had seen Walker Jenkins play in high school games. He had seen him play in tournaments. But on a visit to his home in North Carolina two years ago, the storied baseball agent was hoping to see him take batting practice and hear the sound of the ball leaving his bat.The problem?It was 11 p.m.And raining.Well, it turns out that wasn’t a problem for Jenkins at all.“He says, ‘Let’s go,’” Boras recalled.And so they did. Clay Jenkins, his father, threw. Walker hit. By the time they were done, Walker was soaking wet, and Boras had heard what he was hoping to hear.“I really got to know a lot about his character and who he is,” Boras said. “He’s way ahead of his years, age-wise, because he’s a very disciplined guy and knows what he wants. It says a lot about his character.”That’s the guy who the Twins added to their organization on Tuesday, officially inking the first-round pick to a deal. Jenkins, whom the Twins selected fifth overall earlier this month, received a $7.1 million ...

Keeler: CU Buffs QB Shedeur Sanders says if Cam Ward can tear up Pac-12, so can he. “Bro, it’s the same thing.”

Son Of Prime doesn’t do worried. But he does his homework. The CU Buffs’ celebrated new QB1, Shedeur Sanders, made it a point recently to ask his old Texas pal, Washington State signal-caller Cam Ward, what to expect from the Pac-12 as a first-timer parachuting in from the FCS.“Bro,” Ward replied, “it’s the same thing.”Same chaos.Same song.“The speed’s a little faster,” Ward continued. “You’ve got a little bit better defensive ends. The skill players (are) the same thing.”Same dudes.Same party.“He was just verifying,” Sanders shrugged, “what I already knew.”We know the Buffs will probably go as far in Year 1 A.D. — as in, After Deion — as the younger Sanders can carry them.The situation with Dad — as in, Coach Prime — has no absolute precedent at a modern Power 5 program, which is why nearly every college football lifer has one eye on whatever they’re supposed to be doing and the other on Boulder. It’s a wild-card hire at a wild-card campus, the sort of college football ...
