After a year away from ‘The Trop,’ the Rays are finding there's no place like home
The Tampa Bay Rays last season won 77 games, their fewest since 2016.

Phillies' Andrew Painter searching for fastball command as he works through growing pains
PHILADELPHIA — Andrew Painter’s 32nd pitch Thursday evening was a sinker down and in to Jacob Wilson. He mercifully hit it straight to Edmundo Sosa, who threw it to Bryson Stott, who sent it to Bryce Harper. It took nearly three dozen pitches and a 5-4-3 double play, but Painter did it: Outs were on the scoreboard, which read Athletics 4, Phillies 0 in the first inning.Advertisement
Four batters hitting the ball hard without good results, and what Pull Air has to do with it
For the first week data is collected, bat speed tells you more about what to expect for a batter’s rest-of-season power than any other metric. A few weeks into the season, Barrel rate tells you a little bit more.

In Sabres-Canadiens playoff series, Rasmus Dahlin and Lane Hutson are the real show
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Few would question that the main event is happening out in the Western Conference with Cale Makar and Quinn Hughes locking horns. It is almost without question that those are the top two defensemen in the world (though we see you, too, Zach Werenski).But in a year in which the Norris Trophy voting has perhaps never been deeper, with at least eight defensemen having made a legitimate case during the regular season, being treated to Rasmus Dahlin and Lane Hutson in this series is p...
