It was the fifth loss in six games for a Seahawks team that was a surprising 6-3 after beating Arizona on Nov. 6. Albert Pujols entered 2022 with 679 career home runs, returning to St. Louis, where he played the first 11 years of his career, for one last hurrah. He didn’t just pass Alex Rodriguez’s 696 to claim fourth place on the all-time list, he surged to 703 career home runs.
In large measure because they were the victims of a combined no-hitter in Game 4, the Philadelphia Phillies came into World Series Game 5 against the Houston Astros without having managed a hit in 11 straight innings. Whatever pressures stemmed from that streak, they were perhaps heightened by the fact that the Astros pushed across a run in the top of the first of Game 5 to take a 1-0 lead. In January, Schwarber became the first to have his Middies' baseball jersey - No. 12 - retired, during halftime of a Middletown boys' basketball game that Schwarber attended at Wade E. Miller Arena.

The Dolphins have elevated wide receiver Braylon Sanders and offensive tackle Kendall Lamm from the practice squad for Sunday’s home game against the Green Bay Packers. One team came out on top in 2022, and it was the Chicago Wolves, who won their third Calder Cup and fifth championship overall. The Hawks great and three-time Stanley Cup champion saw his No. 81 retired and raised to the rafters of the United Center. “It is incredibly humbling to have my 81 forever hung here next to greats such as Glenn Hall, Pierre Pilote, Keith Magnuson, Bobby Hull, Denis Savard, Tony Esposito and fellow Slovakian Stan Mikita,” Hossa said. “I cannot believe it.” Fans even began a “Detroit Sucks” chant when he mentioned his former team. It wasn’t all bad for Chicago sports fans in 2022, no matter what you saw or read.
The Ravens won for the second time in three games without quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has been out with a knee injury. The Guardians were this season’s youngest team in baseball, weighted by plate appearances and batters faced. They became just the eighth team to make the postseason as MLB’s youngest team, joining the 1986 Mets, 1970 Reds, 1950 Phillies, 1949 Dodgers, 1947 Dodgers, 1944 Cardinals and 1943 Cardinals, per Elias Sports. The Astros no-hit the Phillies in World Series Game 4 for the third postseason no-hitter, joining Roy Halladay’s in the 2010 NLDS and Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
Hochman: A look at who the Cardinals should use vs. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper
Against all odds, that sent the 42-year-old Pujols through to the semifinals and an eventual matchup with Juan Soto. Schwarber was a terrific sport, though, showing respect and tipping his cap to Pujols. Whenever Albert Pujols was added to the MLB Home Run Derby, most just assumed it was a career achievement award more than anything.
With a significant presence in cities such as Denver and Chicago that were hit hard, Southwest has said it has faced an outsize impact this week. We got only 119 games of Mike Trout mastery this year, but boy, did he make them count. He became just the fourth player to hit 40 or more homers in a season while playing fewer than 120 games. And he capped it off with a 490-foot home run for No. 40, his longest tracked by Statcast . Part of how a team wins 111 games like the Dodgers did is by having plenty of hits.

The Phillies were through 50 games and ultimately reached the World Series. That’s tied for the fourth-worst record through 50 decisions for any team to win a pennant, with the 2003 Marlins. Only the 2005 Astros (18-32), 2019 Nationals (19-31) and 1914 Braves (20-30) won pennants after worse 50-decision starts. Now in 2022, Schwarber will likely be the first hitter against the Cardinals in the NL Wild Card Series.
He was able to muster just 10 homers before his full minute of bonus time, the same as Pujols after regulation, but with an extra 30 seconds to hit just four more home runs. The Cubs said the ball will stay on top of the video board - under a plexiglass case - for the remainder of the season. Devin Singletary and James Cook ran for long touchdowns in the third quarter, and the Buffalo Bills clinched the AFC East title by beating the Bears on Saturday in one of the coldest games played in Chicago. Josh Allen ran for a TD and threw for another in the game’s closing minutes, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Dan Marino for the most touchdowns in a player’s first five NFL seasons. The iconic Hawks announcer called it quits during the 2021-’22 season, and was feted with his own night at the United Center. “This is a hockey game,” Foley said at the start of his career.
Cristian Javier, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly combined for the Astros’ second combined no-hitter of ’22. Javier and Pressly became the first pitchers to be part of two combined no-nos in a career, let alone a season -- and they did it by starting and finishing the same two no-hitters. He was just 19 in the 2012 series against St. Louis — and turned 20 a week after “The Pete Kozma Game” ended Washington’s season. Overall in 2022, he has an impressive .877 OPS and 18 homers in 426 plate appearances.
Of course, some of that is because of the matchup madness that dominates baseball. But none of that matters if the Cardinals can’t create the optimal matchup to unplug Schwarber’s power. Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper warms up on deck during the third inning of the first baseball game of a doubleheader against the Washington Nationals, Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022, in Washington.

When Chopper7HD was back over Wrigley Wednesday morning, the ball was gone and superstitious Cubs fans began to worry. Not the longest drive in Wrigley history, but it was the most accurate. The Steelers have elevated safety Elijah Riley from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and have cut cornerback Josh Jackson, the team announced on Saturday.
Former Cubs President Theo Epstein left Chicago with a bang, cavorting in the left-field bleachers basket during a Cubs game on his final day before moving with his family to the East Coast. His friends staged a “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” goodbye party, and then Elivis left the building. Epstein changed Chicago forever by building a championship team on the North Side. Before a losing streak ended the Sox’s chances, it looked as if Cairo would steer the team into the playoff hunt after Tony La Russa left with a medical issue. Cairo took the difficult assignment with no notice and handled himself well.
Earlier in the game, after the starter is pulled, perhaps the play against Schwarber and Harper is the southpaw Steven Matz. And interestingly, rookie Zack Thompson has a 0.00 ERA against left-handed hitting this season. But if you’re choosing between the two lefties, you likely go with the veteran Matz. Schwarber struggled to find his groove and, after his bonus time, also ended with just 13 homers, thus forcing a 60-second swing-off between the two players. Schwarber started off hot, five of his first seven swings were home runs.
St. Louis starter Lance Lynn went 5 1/3 innings in his first appearance since Oct. 2, 2015. The right-hander, who'd been out since having Tommy John surgery, gave up two runs and five hits. All season, the Mets were able to rely on Edwin Díaz, who struck out 50.2% of the batters he faced in ’22 -- that’s 118 of 235. He became one of just three pitchers to finish a season striking out more than half the batters he faced, minimum 40 innings pitched. He joined Aroldis Chapman from 2014 (52.5%) and Craig Kimbrel from 2012 (50.2%).
