Aren’t moms just the best? The answer to that question, of course, is a resounding yes. We’d like to think that every day is Mother’s Day, but that shouldn’t prevent us from blowing out the one official, designated day that we can salute the very people without whom, literally, we would not be here.

As fans cast their votes for who they deem worthy of 2016 All-Star status, MLB.com is going to look position by position through each league, continuing today with the American League designated hitters.

Through the last turn of the rotation, the Orioles’ starters are looking up. Count righty Ubaldo Jimenez’s performance Saturday night at the top.

Matt Duffy’s two-out, 13-inning double gave the Giants a 2-1 victory over the Rockies at AT&T Park on Saturday afternoon..

Welcome to DraftKings fantasy baseball, the Official Daily Fantasy Game of Major League Baseball. The players listed below could provide difference-making stats for DraftKings participants on Sunday.

Addison Russell drove in three runs, including two on a tie-breaking double with two outs in the seventh inning, to lift the Cubs to an 8-5 victory over the Nationals on Saturday. Chicago now has a 3-0 lead in this four-game showdown between the teams with the best records in the National League.

Prior to the Blue Jays’ series finale on Sunday against the Dodgers, the Lady Jays, a group comprised of the players’ wives and girlfriends, will be collecting monetary donations for the Canadian Red Cross to help those impacted by the fires in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

Truly, anything is possible.

Bryce Harper realizes his importance to the Nationals, and how much the success of the team hinges on him staying healthy and contributing every day. That’s why, even though he did all he could to catch Addison Russell’s hit on Saturday, he stopped short of running into the brick wall in right field, which has scant padding.

With Angels starter Garret Richards likely facing Tommy John surgery and out of the season, joining Andrew Heaney and C.J. Wilson on the disabled list, while Tyler Skaggs and Matt Shoemaker work their way back in the Minors, the Angels are running out of options.

Shelby Miller’s has had several starts end early this season by trouble early in games. Not Saturday, though, as he got his first win of the season by beating his former team, the Braves.

Manager Joe Maddon isn’t surprised by the clutch hitting by his 22-year-old shortstop, Addison Russell, who is batting .313 with runners in scoring position.

It’s out of love.

Baseball proved its inspirational power again this week. In the process, Mother’s Day came early in the heart of Texas.

The Royals had just grabbed a three-run lead in the first inning — a rare lead for the Royals lately — and suddenly right-hander Ian Kennedy was staring at the potential tying run at the plate with one out in the bottom of the inning.

Rougned Odor has been red hot in the leadoff spot, but Rangers manager Jeff Banister has been looking for hits from the rest of the team. Five home runs and a two-homer day from Adrian Beltre did the trick, while Odor and Nomar Mazara made history.

Clayton Kershaw, by his own account, had a weird start Saturday. It was his first time pitching at Rogers Centre and his first time facing the Blue Jays, he was lacking fastball command, the slider was erratic and opposing hitters ran his pitch count up early by fouling off his tough pitches. And, oh yeah, he struck out 10 without a walk and stopped another losing streak as the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays, 6-2.
