Nick Pivetta teamed up with two relievers to keep the Atlanta Braves to just one hit, while Rafael Devers hit two home runs and drove in three runs to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 9-0 victory on Wednesday. Pivetta pitched for seven innings, allowing only one hit, which was a leadoff single by Austin Riley in the fourth inning. Despite feeling less than perfect on the mound, Pivetta credited his team’s strong offensive support for allowing him to focus on attacking the strike zone and securing the win. Devers’ impressive performance included a solo home run in the…

As the Atlanta Braves prepare to be active before the MLB Trade Deadline, recent reports are that they will seek to bolster their pitching staff. It has been a good and bad season for the Atlanta Braves this year. On the good side, they are currently in second place in the NL East and once again appear like they will be making the playoffs this season. On the bad side, they have lost arguably both their best hitter, outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., and their best pitcher, Spencer Strider, for the season. Despite being dealt tough injury blows, the Braves just…

Austin Riley hit a single that put the Braves ahead, and Marcell Ozuna followed with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, helping the Atlanta Braves come back to win 5-2 against the Washington Nationals on Thursday night. Adam Duvall also hit a home run in the seventh inning for Atlanta, which has won three out of four games. Rookie pitcher Mitchell Parker pitched well for Washington, not allowing a hit until the sixth inning. However, the Nationals lost their fourth consecutive game and struggled to score runs in their recent matches. The Braves took the lead against Washington’s reliever…

Game Two of the Redemption Finals occurred ten years ago today — June 8, 2014. LeBron James scored 35 points, including 3 of 3 from three, to lead the Heat to a 98-96 win. Manu Ginobili made a three-pointer at the buzzer to make the final score closer, but the important thing was that the Spurs had lost home court advantage only two games into the Finals. As alluded to below, a key to the Spurs’ loss was going 12 for 20 from the free throw line. A more normal 15 for 20 from the line would have made Manu’s…

This week, ESPN NBA draft expert Jonathan Givony has made a lot of noise about the San Antonio Spurs. “Every free agent, every veteran guard, they all want to play with Victor Wembanyama,” stated the founder and co-owner of Draftexpress.com during an appearance on The Ringer’s NBA Draft programme. It’s interesting to note that this summer, LeBron James is essentially free agency. Several superstars like James and Paul George have the option to become free agents, while household names like Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, and James Harden, among other big names, are unrestricted. Givony added that the Spurs, who own…

Because he is an awful coach, and to make matters worse, he makes horrible personnel judgements. He has never performed well anywhere. Eric Mangini constructed the defences of his two AFC championship game sides. The team disintegrated once he placed his mark on the defence, as his terrible last four years in New York attest. The Bills should be making the playoffs this year. There is far too much skill on the team. You can only go as far as your coach will let you, though, and Ryan’s coaching kept the Bills out of the postseason for 17 years running.…

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Yu Darvish gave up two hits in seven dominant innings to lead the San Diego Padres to a 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. fernando Tatis Jr., Jake Cronenworth and Xander Bogaerts hit solo home runs for the Padres, who have won five of the eight games against the Dodgers this season. “They’ve been really unpredictable. Part of it is attacking some of our hitters’ weaknesses, going to their strengths,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “But I really think that they’ve just mixed and matched well and they’ve executed. Obviously they get up…
