Trevor Rogers — not nearly as chill as those other guys

Beneath blue skies and the beating sun, the temperature gauge at Oracle Park read 80 degrees at first pitch Saturday afternoon, the balmiest conditions for a baseball game on the shores of McCovey Cove in more than four years. Carson Seymour, awarded the opportunity to make his first major league start, found himself in hot water for entirely different reasons.

SAN FRANCISCO — Trevor Rogers entered August with a 1.49 ERA that was destined to regress. He’s ending the month with a 1.39 ERA. Rogers’ miraculous run continued Saturday in the Orioles’ 11-1 win over the Giants, and whether it will end in September is becoming less likely by the start. The left-handed budding ace twirled seven innings of one-run ball to maintain his status as the best ...

The passing of San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Randy Moffitt tugged at the memories of Giants fans from the 1970s and early 1980s. Moffitt was a solid reliever for the Giants from 1972-81 after a terrific college career at Long Beach State University, where is a member of the school's athletic Hall of Fame.

Vienna is a town of about 17,000 people in high-density Fairfax County, which has a population of just more than 1 million and is just west of the nation's capital. It is about 10 miles from the baseball field at James Madison High in Vienna to the White House in Washington, a city that was without a Major League Baseball team from 1972 until the Nationals came to town in 2005. In the D.C. suburbs, despite the trappings of million-dollar homes and high-powered, highly paid lawyers and lobbyists, a baseball culture exists in Vienna that is equal to or better than some small towns in middle America. “We call it the town of champions,” said Mark Gjormand, who grew up playing Vienna Little League and has been the head varsity baseball coach there at James Madison High for 30 years.
