The Chicago Cubs are heating up, and shortstop Dansby Swanson has a lot to do with it. After a sluggish start to the season, Swanson has erupted in May with a .373 average, five home runs, and 10 RBIs. His performance on Saturday — a 2-for-3 effort with three runs and two steals — was yet another example of the veteran’s resurgence. “Not every day are you going to be feeling good swing-wise,” Swanson said. “So being able to find different ways to help the team win is important.” Swanson’s steady defense has always been a plus, but now with his bat catching fire, the Cubs are getting production from top to bottom.

The Lone Star State rivalry reaches its finale on Sunday afternoon, as the Texas Rangers aim to clinch a statement series win over the Houston Astros with rookie right-hander Jack Leiter on the mound.

After a rocky start to his MLB journey, Jack Leiter (3-2, 4.34 ERA) is starting to show why he was a first-round draft pick in 2021. In his last outing against the Rockies, Leiter threw his first

A walk-off homer by Rafael Devers might be just what the Boston Red Sox needed to snap out of their slump and reclaim momentum in the American League playoff race. After rallying from a 5-0 first-inning deficit to defeat the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Saturday, Boston will look to ride the emotional high into Sunday’s rubber match at Fenway Park. Devers’ first career walk-off home run sent Red Sox Nation into a frenzy and capped a 3-for-4 night for the reigning AL Player of the Week. Devers has been scorching-hot in May: His calm demeanor in big moments continues to win over the clubhouse. “He could be 0-for-5 or 5-for-5, and he looks the exact same,” said outfielder Jarren Duran.

The Baltimore Orioles enter Sunday’s finale of a three-game set against the Washington Nationals in search of answers—and a much-needed victory. After firing manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday, the Orioles will play their first full game under interim manager Tony Mansolino, hoping to snap a five-game losing streak and avoid being swept at home by their Beltway rivals. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. ET at Camden Yards, with Zach Eflin squaring off against Michael Soroka. Saturday’s 10-6 loss was just the latest blow in a month where Baltimore has now dropped 11 of its last 13 games, tumbling to last place in the AL East. Hyde’s firing, though not a complete surprise given the team’s regression, left players
