In case you missed it, the Tampa Bay Rays opened the season with 13 consecutive wins before they lost, 6-3, to Toronto on Friday night.Tampa Bay’s 13-0 record matched the 1982 Braves and 1987 Brewers, trailing only the 20-0 start by the 1884 St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association.During their remarkable run, the Rays trailed in just six of their first 117 innings. And the Rays are one of just five teams since 1901 to start a season with a home run in at least 13 consecutive games. The others are the 2019 Mariners (20 straight), 2002 Guardians (14), 2017 Tigers (13) and 1954 Chicago Cubs (13).The Rays’ sizzling start is fascinating because, let’s face it, in the have- and have-not world of Major League Baseball they are not considered an elite franchise, at least not in the same way the Yankees, Astros, Dodgers, Red Sox and Mets are. Lots of folks love or revile the Yankees; the Rays are treated more like a curiosity.Never mind that Tampa Bay is at the forefront...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:47:52 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jake Cronenworth had his first career multi-homer game with two two-run shots and drove in a career-high six runs as the San Diego Padres beat the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers 10-3 Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.In a scary moment in the eighth, Brewers reliever Gus Varland was hit on the jaw by a 105.1 mph line drive by Manny Machado and came out of the game. The impact knocked Varland to the ground and he woozily stood up and dropped his glove as two teammates and a trainer rushed to his side. He went down on his knees as he was tended to and then walked off the field with two trainers.Cronenworth, who signed an $80 million, seven-year contract two weeks earlier, hit a tiebreaking shot off the top of the right field wall with two outs in the fifth inning off Freddy Peralta (2-1) and then connected to center field with one out in the seventh off Hoby Milner. He has three homers this year. Cronenworth and Nelson Cruz drew consecutive bases-loaded...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Until now, Jack Eichel has only watched the NHL playoffs, which has given him some idea of the intensity that comes once the 16-team tournament begins.But the eight-year veteran who has played in 476 regular-season games won’t really know what it will feel like until he skates onto the T-Mobile Arena ice Tuesday night.That’s when the Vegas Golden Knights, who own the home ice advantage in the Western Conference playoffs, open their seven-game, first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets.“He’s waited a long time for this,” Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said.Eichel played his first six seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, who drafted him second overall in 2015.
