MLB [2]

In the three-game series in San Diego which wrapped up on Sunday with Toronto's 7-4 win in 11 innings, the Blue Jays' bullpen posted a 0.40 ERA, allowing just one run over 22 2/3 innings. The heavy workload started Friday when seven relievers combined to pitch 11 2/3 innings in a game the Padres won in bottom of the 17th, 4-3. Even though the Blue Jays lost that game, the bullpen combined to allow just the one run on six hits, three walks and 10 strikeouts.

Who are the best major-league prospects playing in the college baseball tournament?

Michael Roth could run for office in Columbia, S.C. — and he would win in a landslide.

The former Gamecocks pitcher started back-to-back College World Series Championship-clinching games in 2010 and '11 before leading South Carolina back to Omaha in '12. The lefty starter was a ninth-round pick by the Los Angeles Angels last June and has already made his MLB debut.

NCAA Baseball: 2013 College World Series Predictions [16]

Who will make it to Rosenblatt Stadium in 2013?

The California Golden Bears announced in September of 2010 that their baseball program would be cut because the school couldn’t afford it any longer. After a change of heart eight months later — mostly stemming from a huge influx of cash from supporters — the program was reinstated and became the darlings of the 2011 College World Series. The Bears even won a game in Omaha, saving the program.

New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera entered in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday night against the Mets with his team holding a 1-0 lead. It marked the 700th save opportunity in Rivera's 19-year career. The future Hall of Famer, who earlier had thrown out the ceremonial first pitch of his final game at Citi Field, gave up three straight hits to Daniel Murphy (double), David Wright (single, took second on throwing error) and Lucas Duda (game-winning single) as the Mets came back to beat the Yankees 2-1.
