Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera was out Wednesday with what manager Brad Ausmus called lower-back irritation, which has been bothering the All-Star first baseman over the past few days.

The 1956 World Series has always been remembered for the Don Larsen perfect game in Game 5, perhaps because the Game 7 rubber match vs. the Dodgers at Ebbets Field finished with an anticlimactic 9-0 final score. But if that game was one-sided, there was an all-time great to thank for it: Yogi Berra.

Yogi Berra was so great, we forget how great he was.

A loss that unquestionably transcends the game has sent all of baseball into deep mourning. Yogi Berra — Hall of Famer, all-time Yankees legend, World War II veteran, master of misstatement and beloved international icon, is gone. Berra died Tuesday night at age 90.

While the Major League playoff races are heating up, the Minor League postseason ended with the Triple-A National Championship Tuesday night in El Paso. The Fresno Grizzlies finished it off with a 7-0 defeat of the Columbus Clippers behind seven one-hit innings from right-hander Chris Devenski.

When Don Larsen threw the first and only perfect game in World Series history in 1956, he produced one of the most astounding individual achievements in baseball history. The game was so great and so timely and so memorable that it even got its very own Yogi Berra quote to remember it by.

Yogi Berra discussed his childhood hero, first job, favorite movies and TV shows, his musical tastes and much more.

Yogi Berra’s character, talent, courage, extraordinary experiences and inimitable way with words made him a universally beloved figure in Baseball and beyond.

The Rangers rallied from being down, 4-1, after four innings and came back to defeat the Athletics, 8-6, on Tuesday night at the Coliseum. Mitch Moreland’s two-run home run off Athletics starter Sean Nolin was the big blow on a night when the Rangers took advantage of the Astros’ loss to the Angels and increased their lead to two games in the American League West.

Yogi Berra was blessed in so many ways. He’d be the first to say that. But the real blessing flowed to those who came to love him and to feel his love and warmth. They will miss him terribly. But he will live forever in their hearts.

It is with a profound sense of loss and heartfelt sorrow that the Board of Directors of the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center (YBMLC) shares the news that Yogi Berra has passed away at the age of 90 due to natural causes.

Mike Trout and Albert Pujols hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning off Astros starter Lance McCullers and made them stand up to give the Angels a much-needed 4-3 win on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park. With the win, the Angels moved to within 2 1/2 games of the Astros for the second American League Wild Card spot.

Left-hander J.A. Happ and the upper part of the Pirates’ batting order all but officially secured the club of a third straight postseason berth on Tuesday night by fashioning a businesslike 6-3 victory over the Rockies in front of 23,433 at Coors Field.

Jake Arrieta made history with his 20th win of the season, but Kris Bryant jumped into his spotlight with his record-breaking home run in a 4-0 victory over the Brewers on Tuesday night. The win leaves Chicago two games behind Pittsburgh in the hunt for the NL’s top Wild Card spot but improves its magic number to make the postseason to three.

It’s not good when the focus shifts from the magic number to the losing streak, and the Dodgers know it.

There was plenty of postseason implications to keep tabs on Tuesday as the forecast for October begins to snap into focus. The five teams that will make up the National League field are nearly decided as only the Nationals and Giants remain on the outside looking in, facing long odds.
