Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker announced his retirement Wednesday after more than five decades in the league as a player and coach. Baker won his first World Series as a manager with the Astros in 2022, the crown jewel in a lengthy and accomplished career. “I’m very grateful and thankful to [Astros owner] Jim Crane and the Houston Astros for giving me this opportunity, and to win a championship,” Baker told USA Today. “I felt like they’ve been good for me, and I’ve been good for them.

The Philadelphia Phillies won Game 2 of their Wild Card series Wednesday to sweep the Miami Marlins. The team will now advance to the NLDS, where they will face the highly touted Atlanta Braves in a rematch of last year’s NLDS. There were few points throughout the Wild Card series where the Marlins appeared to be in control, as the Phillies dominated much of the action through the first game, a 4-1 victory, and romped in the second to move on. After an opening game in which Philadelphia mostly relied on ace Zack Wheeler, who allowed just one run and struck out eight batters in 6.2 innings, the...

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna made history Wednesday night, as his two steals in a 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs gave him 70 in the 2023 season. He is the first player in MLB history to steal 70 bases and hit 40 home runs in a single season. “Very happy, mostly that we were able to win,” Acuña said through an interpreter after the game. “I’m extremely happy to have created the 40-70 club.” Acuna’s record-breaking season has been at the forefront of an equally staggering year for the Braves’ offense as a whole. With 303 combined home runs as of Sept. 27, the team is closing in quic...

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozunawas removed from the game for not hustling in their win over the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-5. The two-time All-Star was taken out of the game by manager Brian Snitker after Ozuna hit one deep center field, resulting in only a single in the fourth inning. This single, however, set a distance of 415 feet, as the ball was a line drive that ended up hitting an overhang right below the home run marker. Ozuna hit a pitch from Zac Gallen that resulted in the Braves hitter, at home plate, staring at his ball reach its apex rather than running after hitting th...

Ronald Acuna Jr. appears to be fine now after suffering a scare on Monday’s game against the New York Mets. In the first game of the doubleheader, the Atlanta Braves outfielder was pegged with a fastball that came from Tylor Megill in the first inning of the second game of the doubleheader. The 93-mile-per-hour pitch hit him in the left shoulder and he stayed down in pain for a significant amount of time and did not move his injured arm. “At the moment I thought it was something more serious because I couldn’t move my arm,” Acuna told reporters today. “But thankfully everything is OK.” While i...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider has inked a multi-year contract extension with the team. The deal is worth $75 million over six years, with a club option of a seventh year, the team announced today. If exercised, Strider would make an extra $22 million.

The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves are still neck-and-neck atop the N.L. East division, and with six games remaining in the regular season, a three-game series between the two teams may decide the season. The series begins Friday in Atlanta, though inclement weather from Hurricane Ian may change that. With a 98-58 record, the Mets hold a one-game lead over the 97-59 Braves. On Wednesday, the two teams were tied for first, but Atlanta lost to the Washington Nationals while New York won against the Miami Marlins. Both games ended in extra innings a half hour apart. With the lead in the divisio...

New York Mets fans finally got their wish with Mark Vientos getting called up to the big leagues on Saturday. The team confirmed that the third baseman is getting called up after All-Star outfielder Starling Marte was placed on the 10-day injury list. While Vientos wasn’t in Saturday’s starting lineup against the Miami Marlins, he will be available off the bench. The move comes as the Mets lost yet another game to a non-playoff team on Friday, falling 6-3 to the Marlins. Just over a week ago, things were going smoothly for the Mets, which beat the league’s best Los Angeles Dodgers two out of ...

In the New York Mets’ first two games against the Atlanta Braves this week, the team only managed to score a single run across 18 innings. But in the first at-bat of his MLB career on Wednesday, third baseman Brett Baty drove in two on a long fly ball to right-center. The homer proved to make the difference as the Mets went on to win 9-7. Baty’s second-inning bomb off Braves starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi was not well-received by most fans at Truist Park in Atlanta. One section was rocking, however, as Baty’s family was in attendance for his debut. They jumped out of their seats in unison when...
