NEW YORK -- The final 10-game dash for a wild-card spot began in, well, wild fashion on Thursday night for the New York Mets. Now the Mets hope the baseball player equivalent of a wild card can get them another step closer to the playoffs on Friday. Right-hander Gabriel Ynoa will become the second consecutive rookie starter for the Mets when he takes the mound in the second game of a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. The Mets won the series opener in franti..>> view originalTigers' Anibal Sanchez: Sanchez rebounds in no-decision
Sanchez logged five innings Thursday in Game 1 of the Tigers' doubleheader, allowing just one run on two hits and a walk with four strikeouts. He didn't factor into the decision.He did allow one home run -- the major flaw throughout his career -- but half of the batted-balls he yielded were grounders. Buck Farmer had taken Sanchez's rotation spot Wednesday, but maybe this will help the veteran work back into Detroit's good graces. With such little time left in the regular season, however, that..>> view original49ers coach Chip Kelly supports protests by QB Colin Kaepernick

ATLANTA -- Dabo Swinney entered Bobby Dodd Stadium two hours before Thursday night's kickoff in a blue suit and orange tie -- you guessed it, Clemson orange -- and stopped to pose for a picture with a pair of fans. He made his way across the field, walking through Georgia Tech's players, who were in the midst of their warm-ups. Then, fifth-ranked Clemson's coach strolled into the end zone, and he ... just ... stood .. there.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Jacoby Brissett ran 27 yards for his first NFL touchdown, zigging when one poor Houston Texan zagged, and man, that had to be some feeling, right?Imagine the adrenaline rush for a 23-year-old rookie playing Tom Brady's position and scoring in the first quarter, on national TV, with a dash out of a third-stringer's wildest dreams. It was a perfectly appropriate time for a young quarterback to celebrate himself, and it sure looked like Brissett was doing just that when he tuck..>> view originalMariners: Steve Clevenger tweets 'don't in any way represent' team

Over the next 10 days, Terry Collins could push himself toward the top of the NL Manager of the Year vote — or get himself fired. Even he chuckled when presented those disparate scenarios. “It is all part of my hardest year ever,” Collins said. Naturally — this being the 2016 Mets — it got more difficult Thursday. A trainer walked into Collins’ office early in the afternoon and the manager knew this was not to discuss a fantasy football transaction. Not with this team, not in this year. “I just..>> view originalRockies' bullpen crumbles in 7-4 loss to 1st-place Dodgers
