NEW YORK — On an uncomfortably hot and sticky day for the Yankees’ and White Sox’s Sunday doubleheader in the Bronx, the home team played two fittingly lethargic games. The Yankees dropped both of them, losing back-to-back games for the first time since April 10 and 11, their third and fourth games of the year.

The second game of the ...Read more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After right-hander Brady Singer turned in another dazzling performance on the mound and his teammates put together a five-run inning to stake him to a six-run lead, the Kansas City Royals appeared set to cruise to victory as they closed out their homestand.

“Basically tried to call me Jackie Robinson: ‘What’s up, Jackie?’” Anderson said after the Sox’s 7-5 loss, describing what ...Read more

Jackie Robinson was in headlines this weekend when New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson referred to Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson as “Jackie” during Saturday’s game, igniting a brouhaha between the two teams.

And he showed it again Saturday night, homering twice to lead the Rays to a 6-1 bounceback victory.

Jeffrey Springs lent a hand as well, as the lefty had the best of an impressive quintet of outings since moving into the rotation. He allowed one hit over a career-high 5 2/3 innings, ...Read more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Maybe Gary Sanchez is too shy to chat with first basemen. Maybe he's annoyed by first-base coach Hank Conger. Maybe 90 feet just strikes him as too short a workout.

Whatever the reason, Sanchez seems to be boycotting first base. His two-out sixth-inning double on Saturday drove in Max Kepler with an important insurance run ...Read more
