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.

ST. LOUIS– Six straight series victories to start the year? Backed by Chris Bassitt’ s six shutout innings on Tuesday, the Mets beat the Cardinals for a second straight night, this time 3-0, ensuring a series win for the Amazin’ s before their finale at Busch Stadium on Wednesday.

Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry were missing. Ultimately, that was all that was needed Tuesday night at FTX Arena to close out Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks.

Signing shortstop Andrelton Simmons to bolster the middle infield defense was an understandable approach for the Chicago Cubs’ roster construction. Between the injury histories of shortstop Nico Hoerner and second baseman Nick Madrigal and a rotation reliant on ground balls, a defense-first infielder like Simmons can be valuable. He is throwing at the...

After years of legal wrangling, the infamous Yankee Letter from Rob Manfred to Brian Cashman is now public, with a few redactions.

Q: Victor Oladipo’ s defense, playmaking and ability to break down a defense prove him more valuable than Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin.

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. It was a familiar nightmare for coach John Harbaugh, who has navigated many a December and January with starting defensive backs in the injury ward. The Ravens played all of last season without their...

1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travon Walker, EDGE, Georgia.

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.

When Chance Campbell was a ninth grader on Calvert Hall’ s junior varsity, the Cardinals varsity defensive coordinator, Vernon Southwick, thought that one day he would eventually contribute to the program.

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.

New GM Joe Schoen has demonstrated a savvy willingness to keep all doors...
