Shohei Ohtani Homers In Dodgers Spring Debut

Feb 28, 2024 7:40 AM

Shohei Ohtani homered in his spring debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.

The home run came in his final at-bat of the afternoon. He launched a two-run home run to left field.

"I thought I hit it a little too high initially, but the Arizona weather factored in a little bit," Ohtani said afterward through his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. "I felt better each time I came up. It's trending in the right direction."

Ohtani was playing his first game since undergoing right elbow surgery last September and his first since signing a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers in December.

Juan Soto On Mission To Homer In Final Six Ballparks

Feb 27, 2024 8:39 AM

Juan Soto has hit regular-season home runs in 24 of the current 30 Major League stadiums. 

Now that he's in the American League with the New York Yankees, he'll have a chance to begin chipping away at the ones he has missed.

"I want to finish all 30 ballparks, to hit a homer in all 30 ballparks," Soto said. "That's my goal for this year."

Soto has yet to hit home runs in the regular season at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Progressive Field in Cleveland, Angels Stadium in Los Angeles, Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Globe Life Field in Arlington and T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

Rays' Yandy Diaz Sits, Wins AL Batting Title

Oct 2, 2023 7:14 AM

Yandy Diaz edged Corey Seager for the American League batting title.

Diaz (.3295.), who trailed Seager (.3298) by percentage points heading into Sunday's season finale, sat out game 162.

The Tampa Bay Rays' playoff seeding was set, allowing Diaz to sit. The Texas Rangers were still trying to win the AL West title, so Seager played and went 0-for-4. His batting average dipped to .327, giving Diaz the batting crown.

Diaz is the first Tampa Bay player to win a batting title.

Braves Reach 100 Wins For Second Straight Season

Sep 25, 2023 8:18 AM

The Atlanta Braves earned their 100th victory of the season Sunday night by defeating the Washington Nationals 8-5.

Atlanta has won 100 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2002-03.

"It's unbelievable," Brian Snitker said. "It's hard to do. I think it's quite an accomplishment anytime you can win 100 games. A lot of things we're doing are really hard. It's taken the whole room in there, that's for sure, to make something like that happen."

Cardinals' Adam Wainwright Wins 200th Game

Sep 19, 2023 7:59 AM

Adam Wainwright notched his 200th career victory as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 on Monday night.

"For at least a night I was a real pitcher out there, the guy that I want to be," said Wainwright, who plans to retire after the season. "Seven innings, shutout, a couple of hits, got through a couple of tough ABs out there and made adjustments, worked in and out, up and down."

He has won consecutive starts -- both against first-place teams -- after going 0-10 with a 10.72 ERA over his previous 11 games between June 24 and Sept. 7.

Wainwright became the 38th pitcher in National League history to reach 200 wins, and the 24th major leaguer to achieve the milestone since 2000.

He's the third pitcher in Cardinals history to reach 200 wins (Bob Gibson, Jesse Haines).
