This time, Anthony Rizzo stood and waited. He wasn’ t showboating— his game had shown enough already— but he didn’ t know whether that high-flying ball would stay fair or not. But he led a power barrage against Baltimore, in which his team plated the most runs the Orioles have allowed this season.

Over the last five weeks of the 2021 season, the Ravens relied on Kevon Seymour, Robert Jackson, Daryl Worley and Chris Westry to play significant snaps at cornerback.

The Ravens played all of last season without their...

Detroit Lions: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan.

When the Catholic Conference this year made the switch from wood bats to aluminum, the general consensus was that its hallmark, close pitching duels would be a thing of the past. Maybe.

The Giants are looking to trade wide receiver Kadarius Toney, sources tell the Daily News, making calls to see what they can get for their 2021 first-round pick.
