Philadelphia Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez summed up one of the worst outings of his career with one word: crap. Sánchez could have used much stronger language after giving up a career-worst nine earned runs in just 3⅓ innings in a 15-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Asked after the game if he…
Max Scherzer came off the injured list and promptly reached another milestone. Unfortunately for Scherzer, it didn’t stop his season-long struggles. The Toronto pitcher reached 3,500 strikeouts when he caught Philadelphia slugger Kyle Schwarber looking at an 86 mph change up to begin the game Wednesday night.

This offseason will be remembered for the Dodgers’ continued spending as the back-to-back champs signed the best free agent (Kyle Tucker) and closer (Edwin Diaz) on the market.
