CHICAGO – This wasn’t the season Trey Lipscomb expected. And it’s certainly not the way he expected it to end, with a surprise promotion to the majors for the final week after CJ Abrams’ unexpected, disciplinary demotion. But here Lipscomb is, getting one last chance to make an impression on the Nationals before season’s end. And he wants to make t

The Kansas City Royals lost again, so the Orioles' four-game lead for the first American League wild card berth is still intact. But they had a chance to build some real momentum and get their mojo back. It sure looked like they were doing exactly that, until they were not.
