Walt Hopkins’ club was able to keep the home winning streak going with a win against the Dallas Wings tonight at Barclays Center. And now, one year after going 2-20 in the WNBA “wubble” last season, the Libs are 5-1. Only the powerhouse Connecticut Sun (5-0) have a better record. It’s also New York’s best start since 2...

We had a no-hitter Tuesday. We had a no-hitter Wednesday, so who will throw one Thursday? On Wednesday, New York Yankees starter Corey Kluber no-hit his former team, the Texas Rangers.

Here was the celebration after Kluber got the final out: Corey Kluber just pitched a NO-HITTER Yankees Win 2-0 The Klubot just pitched the 11th regular season No-Hitter in Yankee franchise history. #YANKSonYESpic...

With a stellar outing from Domingo Germán and key pinch-hits, the Yankees took the series in Arlington.

This is the second time in the last two years in Yankee Stadium that the Rays were able to pull a clean sweep. They have won 18 of their past 23 games against New York. This loss also extended the Yankees’ losing streak to five games, the team’s worst start since 1997. Rays manager Kevin Cash explains the team’s excitement for accomplishing a clean victory. It is gratifying to come in here and for the guys to find a way to complete a series and win three. It’s just not an easy thing to ...

Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports Although it took Gerrit Cole a little while to get into a rhythm on Monday night against the Blue Jays, he found it in the middle of the second and didn’t lose it. Back by a pair of homers from his catcher, Kyle Higashioka, Cole recovered nicely and led the Yankees to a 3-1 victory in Dunedin (Toronto’s current home-away-from-home). It was a bit of an inauspicious beginning for Cole, who may just been getting used to a mound that is not his favorite. After a...
