Pick a perfect bracket in the 2016 T-Mobile Home Run Derby Bracket Challenge for a chance to win 4 tickets to the 2016 World Series.

A complete breakdown of which 2016 Draft picks from the first 10 rounds have agreed to terms, along with their reported bonuses and starting assignments.

With the sort of fastball-curveball mix Tyler Glasnow flashed on Thursday, the Pirates left Busch Stadium with visions of a promising future ahead for their top prospect. They did not, however, depart with an eighth straight win. Glasnow, making his Major League debut, was outpitched by veteran Adam Wainwright, who put an end to the Cardinals’ three-game skid by playing stopper in a 5-1 victory.

The lineup for the 2016 T-Mobile Home Run Derby has been announced, and it’s one high-powered eight-cylinder slew of sluggers, an awesome octet that should light up the San Diego night on Monday at Petco Park (8 p.m. ET on ESPN and MLB.com), leading into Tuesday’s 87th All-Star Game presented by MasterCard (7:30 p.m. ET on FOX).

The last time Mike “Doc” Emrick called a Pittsburgh sporting event, it ended with the Penguins hoisting the Stanley Cup in San Jose, Calif. On Friday, Emrick will get to witness and relay the real deal to a national television audience, the same thing he’s done for four decades in hockey.

The 18th annual SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game will be part of the All-Star Game festivities again this year, broadcast live from Petco Park on MLB Network at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET on Sunday. Let’s examine the players with the best individual tools on the U.S. and World squads.

It’s the shortest election season.

Luis Valbuena ripped a go-ahead two-run homer off rookie reliever Edwin Diaz in the eighth inning Wednesday as the surging Astros swept a three-game series against the Mariners with a 9-8 victory at Minute Maid Park. The Astros have now won seven of their last eight series and their last nine games against division opponents.

The Giants handled Part One of the campaign to help Brandon Belt win the 2016 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote.

Ryan Schimpf hit two home runs and Yangervis Solarte added a home run and knocked in five runs as the Padres topped the D-backs. Brandon Drury and Jake Lamb each hit two-run home runs for Arizona.

Pittsburgh vaulted past St. Louis and into second place on Wednesday night with its sixth consecutive come-from-behind victory, this one a 7-5 win at Busch Stadium. For the Cardinals, the loss stung arguably more than any other this season. Not only did they waste a four-run lead, but the Cards did so after watching All-Star second baseman Matt Carpenter leave with an injury.

Ryan Schimpf might not look like a classic power hitter, but he has some pop in his bat, as evidenced by the four home runs he’s hit in the past week.

When they returned from a disjointed road trip, the Red Sox set a simple goal to try to start winning series again. With Wednesday’s 11-6 win in the rubber match of a three-game set against the Rangers, they improved to 2-for-2 in their quest on this homestand.

With just two spots remaining on the All-Star rosters, many of the remaining candidates on Wednesday made their case for inclusion in next week’s festivities.

Giants first baseman Brandon Belt experienced a busy Wednesday, as club representatives began their campaign to help Belt win the National League’s 2016 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote.

Robinson Cano, who is headed to the 2016 All-Star Game presented by MasterCard in San Diego next week, can thank the Astros for helping pave the way as he continued torturing their pitching in the Mariners’ 9-8 loss Wednesday at Minute Maid Park.

Most Major League bullpens have established roles, with pitchers designated for the seventh, eighth and ninth innings. But because of injuries and other hiccups, for most of this season the Cardinals haven’t had that luxury, and Wednesday’s 7-5 loss to the Pirates was another example.
