Jose Butto earns trust from Carlos Mendoza despite tough outing
After losing the lead in this game, Jose Butt may have gained a little more credibility within the Mets. The starter-turned-relief pitcher found another way to prove himself during a bizarre and eventful eighth inning in which he allowed the tying run but no more, battling both a strong Orioles lineup and a shaky strike […]
Gerrit Cole twirls his first scoreless outing of year as Yankees blank Tigers
DETROIT — There was legitimate concern when Gerrit Cole was removed from the starting lineup on trade deadline day for what the Yankees called “general fatigue.” Whatever moves the club made that day, nothing would have come close to the impact a healthy Cole could have late in the season and into October. After three […]
David Peterson sets tone in Mets’ win with another sharp outing
David Peterson set the tone for the Mets on Wednesday night, spearheading an impressive offense that Pete Alonso described as “just electric.” Peterson, who has the lowest ERA (3.04) among Mets starting pitchers, helped the Mets’ offense explode for a 9-1 victory at Citi Field, halting a four-game losing streak and stoking the Athletics’ offense […]
Yankees’ Gerrit Cole strikes out 10 in dominant outing
The Yankees had plenty of reason for optimism after Gerrit Cole had his most dominant performance of the season. But it was a shorter start than most others, so caution was advised. Cole pitched well, recording a season-high 10 strikeouts on a night when he threw 90 pitches and recorded just 16 outs. Manager Aaron […]

Mark Leiter already proving Yankees worth with clutch outing
Mark Leiter Jr. has been with the Yankees for less than a week, but the team is leaning heavily on the No. 2 pitcher. The 33-year-old took the mound on Sunday against the Blue Jays with two outs and a runner on first and three outs in the top of the ninth inning after storm […]
Mets’ Jose Quintana struggles through rare rough outing
ANAHEIM, Calif. — It was an afternoon of too much “trying” and not enough pitching control for Jose Quintana. The left-hander has been the team’s best starter since mid-June, but he put runners on base early in Sunday’s game against the Angels and stretched his pitch count. The best thing that can be said about […]
Yankees’ Carlos Rodon back on track with strong outing vs. Red Sox
BOSTON — One of the biggest players the Yankees could acquire during trade deadline week is in-form Carlos Rodon. After six poor starts between mid-June and mid-July interrupted his season, the left-hander bounced back in style with his best performance all season, scoring two quality starts in consecutive games. Rodon pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing […]
Juan Soto’s latest two-homer outing further awes Yankees teammates
While the Yankees’ victory wasn’t solely down to the batting prowess of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, Soto still managed to inflict significant damage on the Rays. The left-handed slugger went 3-for-5 with one double, one deep solo homer and one three-run homer in the Yankees’ dominating 9-1 win on Monday afternoon. This was Soto’s […]
