Comment on Former L.A. Dodgers Owner McCourt to Buy Olympique De Marseille

With James Paxton injured, the Yankees employed a so-called opener to start the game. The strategy paid off thanks to a seven-run explosion in the sixth inning.

The left-hander taught himself a trick to achieve devastating action on his cutter, which has fooled batters all season.

In an era of baseball’s richest teams dominating smaller-market clubs, Tampa Bay has managed a third way: spending less and winning more through ceaseless innovation.

The 22-year-old Torres joined Joe DiMaggio as the only Yankees under 23 years old with three homers in a day.

17 strikeouts in seven innings, but in the end, disappointment in Boston.
