WASHINGTON — Erick Fedde pitched the game of his life Friday night, but unlike last season, there was no higher power — namely, an eventual pope — in his corner. Fedde returned to Nationals Park for the first time since the Washington Nationals let him go after the 2022 season and quieted his old franchise, pitching the first complete game and shutout of his career in a 10-0 trouncing by his St. Louis Cardinals. It marked another checkpoint in Fedde’s rapid rise since the Nationals released him.

WASHINGTON – Paul DeJong’s long road from the emergency room to the batter’s box made a symbolic pit stop Friday afternoon when he returned to the Washington Nationals clubhouse. The area under his left eye still sported a nasty bruise nearly one month after the pitch that sidetracked his career.

Rafael Devers is tired of, in his eyes, getting jerked around. The Boston Red Sox slugger revealed to reporters that general manager Craig Breslow approached him about switching to first base in the wake of a season-ending injury to Triston Casas, coming on the heels of his much-ballyhooed switch to designated hitter in March.

WASHINGTON – It is the kind of turnaround any ballplayer dreads, a most extreme version of the day game after a night game, and the Cleveland Guardians’ clubhouse reflected that harsh reality Wednesday morning. The Guardians played 18 innings the day before, finishing off a doubleheader around 9:30 Tuesday night, only to be greeted by a noon start to finish the series and cap a span of 22 games in 23 days.

Charlie Morton is warming in the #orioles bullpen; the proud 41-year-old is officially a Long Guy.
Just to update this carnage: Kyle Gibson exits down 9-0, and every Yankee starter except Austin Wells has a hit by the fourth inning (and also Oswald Peraza, who came in for dinged up Jazz Chisholm). Ben Rice has two homers. Oh and Carlos Rodón is perfect thru three.
Make that four pitches, three home runs. Ben Rice, out to right. 3-0. Unreal.
Tomoyuki "Season-Saver" Sugano punched out Aaron Judge for his eighth strikeout of the night. He's elicited nine whiffs on 11 swings against his splitter tonight as #Orioles lead #Yankees 4-0.
