It’s always nice to take two of three from the Yankees, but it’s especially nice to do so with your top prospect making his major league debut and leading the charge with other cornerstone young players. Now the Nats welcome the Cubs for three games over this holiday weekend. Chicago is barely holding onto h

The month of August is about to wrap up this weekend, which means it’s been a full month since the trade deadline. Which means enough time has passed to start evaluating how trades worked out.

LOS ANGELES – Orioles right-hander Corbin Burnes, who had an ERA of 8.71 his previous four starts, gave up six runs last night as the Orioles lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers. But just one run was earned over five innings. Does that make it challenging to evaluate how Burnes pitched? In the Dodgers third, with the O’s leading 3-1 and one out, an err
