Kyle Harrison stated his case for joining the Boston Red Sox rotation by throwing another gem Wednesday for Triple-A Worcester. Of the 94 pitches Harrison threw, only 52 were strikes. Before the 24-year-old took the mound Wednesday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora was asked about the pitcher's development.

1905 — Rube Waddell of the Philadelphia Athletics pitched a five-inning no-hit game to beat the St. Louis Browns 2-0. 1916 — In a classic pitching duel, Babe Ruth of the Boston Red Sox beat Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators, 1-0, in 13 innings at Fenway Park. 1945 — The Chicago Cubs routed the Brooklyn Dodgers 20-6, at Ebbets Field. Paul Gillespie knocked in six runs with two home runs and a single to lead the attack.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos made a mind-boggling error during the team's 11-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday afternoon. Padres third baseman Manny Machado roped a ball to left field in the second inning. The ball bounced off the wall, and Ramos fielded it, looking to throw it back into the infield to prevent a runner on first base from advancing to third.

The Yankees designated the right-hander for assignment last week.

Willy Adames is confident the Giants could've turned two. With one out and the bases loaded in the second, Jake Cronenworth hit a soft line drive that wouldn't make it out of the infield. Adames, the Giants shortstop, readied for the hop, preparing to turn an inning-ending double play and keep the score tied at zero. At the minimum, the Giants could always settle for one out.

The Giants didn't have the decency to maintain relevance until September. Let Wednesday stand as the unofficial end of San Francisco's season — the day the last bit of hope was extinguished. You almost feel indebted to the Giants for being expedient about it. Starter Kai-Wei Teng was bashed for seven runs in a second inning Padres onslaught that started with a ball bouncing off of second base with the bases loaded and was capped by left fielder Helios Ramos spiking a throw into the outfield grass.

Former San Francisco Giants teammate Mike Yastrzemski doesn't understand the criticism surrounding Rafael Devers.

SAN FRANCISCO -- - Nick Pivetta allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings and Ramón Laureano had three of the Padres' 14 hits as San Diego completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with an 11-1 rout on Wednesday. The Padres extended their winning streak to five games and moved a game ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.

BOSTON — The last time Mike Yastrzemski and a group of 30 or so family and friends were here at Fenway Park, at grandpa Carl Yastrzemski’s sacred home, it was about dreams, chills and memories to last a lifetime. “Definitely, one of the greatest experiences of my career,” said Mike, which included his Hall of Fame grandfather throwing him the first pitch. “The whole series was surreal. It ...

Now with the Royals, outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is speaking out about his much-maligned former Giants teammate.

The Giants, who once held first place in the NL West and were 12 games above .500, are now 59-62 with postseason hopes dwindling by the day.

The Boston Red Sox's starting rotation has been tested this season, but has held up better than some expected it would. If you had said at the beginning of the season that Kutter Crawford and Tanner Houck would both miss at least most of the 2025 season, if not all, the expectation certainly would've been that the team would struggle overall. Take that a step further with Hunter Dobbins. Boston keeps finding ways to win games and the rotation is a strength.

The first season for the San Francisco Giants under president of baseball operations Buster Posey got off to a wonderful start, but the team has fallen on tough times recently and is slowly drifting away in the National League playoff picture. Entering play on Aug. 13, they had a 59-61 record, 5.5 games behind the New York Mets for the final wild card spot in the NL. Given their recent form, it is hard to envision the team making a run over the final few weeks, especially after trading away a few key contributors ahead of the MLB trade deadline. What has gone wrong for the Giants over the last two months to have them go from being NL West contenders along with the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres to afterthoughts in the playoff picture?

Seven-run second inning lets San Diego cruise to win

This is really, really bad.

Kai-Wei Teng vs. Nick Pivetta

It's safe to say that things have not gone well for the San Francisco Giants over the last few weeks. After the Giants traded outfielder Mike Yastrzemski and relief pitcher Camilo Doval at the deadline, it essentially signaled an end to any sort of playoff push this year. Since the deadline, the Giants have a 5-6 record, and while that isn't horrible, the last few games have been frustrating for San Francisco. The Giants dropped two in a row to the Washington Nationals at home over the weekend, including an 8-0 loss on Sunday, where they recorded just three hits.

When the San Francisco Giants acquired Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox on June 15, it had some fans scratching their heads. Were the Giants about to make some more aggressive moves for a playoff push? Many assumed that Devers would be San Francisco's designated hitter, but instead, manager Bob Melvin made the move to put his newest power-hitting acquisition at first base. It was a curious call, as Devers had publicly stated to Boston that he wouldn't move across the diamond after the Sox acquired 2024 Gold Glove winner Alex Bregman from the Houston Astros.
