Not sure you could've drawn this up better for the Phillies. One out, bases loaded, and Cristopher Sánchez gets Michael Harris II to ground into a double play on the first pitch.

While watching footage of the Phillies' 1993 NLCS celebration, John Kruk is asked if there's a "cleaned-up, PG-13 version" of that night he can share with the audience. "Well.....no."

Tyler Mahle's splitter is giving the Phillies fits. He's got a 43% whiff rate on that pitch today, and it's a big reason why he was able to settle down after a rocky first inning.

“I've been around a decent amount of teams up here now, and what's happening in there is different.” The Cardinals entered 2026 looking to practice ‘elite patience’ with their young roster. The gains from that approach have them feeling bullish about their future. www.mlb.com/cardinals/ne...

No other way to describe Andre Pallante's first inning than "death by 1,000 singles." Six hits allowed in a three-run frame, not one of them went for extra bases. That's the Brewers for you.
