The third start of the latest – and perhaps final — chance to revive his career was another dark night for Matt Harvey. The former Mets All-Star was hammered for five runs — and three homers — while recording just four outs in the Kansas City Royals’ 10-1 loss Tuesday to the Cleveland Indians. Harvey, …

The season leaks away bit by bit, day by day. It happens this way to bad baseball teams once they’ve given up the ghost. September can be the cruelest kind of gauntlet, 30 days that feel like 300 when reality sets in and you are merely playing out the string. It shouldn’t be that way …

Nope. Not in this COVID baseball season. Not at this tempestuous moment in our country’s history. I’m betting Rob Manfred and his deputies will correctly agree.

Logan Ryan showed up for sunrise workouts with dried sweat on his shirt. As more than 2,500 NFL players banged pads during training camps, Ryan surprisingly remained unsigned until agreeing Monday to a one-year contract with the Giants.

There’s no reason, with half of a drastically reduced season in the books, to think that Gerrit Cole can’t stand the heat. Throwing the heat, however, has proven surprisingly difficult for the Yankees’ $301.3 million man. If you’re looking for a reason why Cole has not dominated opponents in his first eight starts as a …

BALTIMORE — Todd Frazier, Robinson Chirinos and Miguel Castro alone won’t be enough to resurrect this Mets season — that will take a team effort — but the trade-deadline additions of the three veterans sent a message through the clubhouse that there is still hope for 2020. And with just 3 ½ weeks remaining in …
