Phillies upset Cardinals to reach first NLDS since 2011

Bryce Harper arrived at Busch Stadium early Saturday afternoon with a message for all of his Philadelphia Phillies teammates. He wanted them to know that this — the St. Louis Cardinals’ magical campaign, the historic careers of Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina and, more specifically, the first-round wild-card series — would end later that night. The Phillies, he told them, would not allow for a decisive Game 3. “We’re not losing,” he continued to say as he went around the clubhouse. Then he delivered. Harper homered off a first-pitch Miles Mikolas curveball to lead off the second inning, silencing a sold-out crowd and providing all the run support a dominant Aaron […]

Cardinals to start Jose Quintana, Miles Mikolas vs. Phillies

The Cardinals will start left-hander Jose Quintana in Game 1 of their National League wild-card series versus the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, manager Oliver Marmol announced Thursday. Miles Mikolas will start Game 2 of the best-of-three series for St. Louis, and Marmol is unclear about who would start a potential winner-take-all Game 3. His other three starters — Jack Flaherty, Jordan Montgomery and Adam Wainwright — will all crack the postseason roster and will all be available out of the bullpen. “We can use them however we please,” Marmol stated prior to Thursday’s workout at Busch Stadium. “And we will.” The Phillies will start Zack Wheeler in Game 1, Aaron Nola in Game 2 and Ranger Suarez if […]

Brewers’ playoff hopes end despite 6-5 win over Diamondbacks

New York Yankees move Matt Carpenter to 60-day IL, hoping veteran is ready for playoffs

Matt Carpenter will not play again in the regular season, but the Yankees are positive that the veteran infielder-turned-outfielder is still on track to make a postseason appearance. After suffering a broken foot during an at-bat in early August, Carpenter had to be in a walking boot for well over a month. He has been able to ramp up baseball activities this past week to the point where he has started taking live batting practice and running the bases. Carpenter, 36, had hoped to return for the four-game series versus the Texas Rangers that starts Monday. But with the Yankees needing to make room on […]

Chicago Bulls optimistic after Lonzo Ball’s knee surgery ‘went well’ but uncertain when he will return

The Chicago Bulls expressed optimism on Thursday following guard Lonzo Ball’s latest surgery to address the lingering discomfort in his left knee, but his timeline to return to the court remains unclear. Bulls coach Billy Donovan met with director of athletic performance Chip Schaefer, who was in Los Angeles earlier in the week for Ball’s surgery, before practice on Thursday and received reports that Ball’s second knee operation since January “went well” and that Ball was in good spirits. However, Donovan acknowledged that until Ball resumes his rehab process, it’s difficult to determine when the Bulls might get their point guard back. “You […]

Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash lauds Ben Simmons’ versatility as ‘incredible playmaker’

Coach Steve Nash says he doesn’t care if Ben Simmons “ever shoots a jump shot” for the Brooklyn Nets because of the versatility and unique skill set that he brings to the team. “Very unique,” Nash said of Simmons after the second full practice of training camp on Wednesday. “That’s what makes Ben great. That’s why I don’t care if he ever shoots a jump shot for the Brooklyn Nets. He’s welcome to, but that is not what makes him special and not what we need. He’s a great complement to our team, and he’s an incredible basketball player because of his versatility.” Simmons, […]

Judge held homerless, still at 60, Jays beat Yankees in 10th

Aaron Judge stayed at 60 home runs, one shy of Roger Maris’ American League record, and the New York Yankees’ bid to clinch the AL East stalled when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit an RBI single in the 10th to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 3-2 victory Monday night. Judge led off the game with a single, then struck out twice and walked twice as New York’s winning streak ended at seven. The Yankees would’ve sealed the division with a win.
