MLB: World Series-Houston Astros at Atlanta Braves

Hello folks and welcome to Saturday! Here’s what’s happening in baseball today.

In playoff news...

Ian Anderson flirted with a no-hitter as the Atlanta staff managed to shut out the Astros 2-0, giving Atlanta a 2-1 series lead.

In Mariners news...

Corey Brock at The Athletic spoke to some Mariners coaches to find the five most eye-popping prospect performances from the M’s system this season. ($)

Around the league...

Steve Cohen is reportedly in discussions to set up a casino adjacent to Citi Field.
This former M’s coach has been silently in a battle with cancer.

Pitching Coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr has signed a new deal to return to the Marlins in 2022. I wish it was just that simple. With Stott’s blessing, I detail his current, and until now private battle with Prostate Cancer for @HeraldSports. https://t.co/TNv7rLGBLx
