Pieces of the non-retractable roof were seen flapping in the wind.

According to WFTS-TV in Tampa, there were no reported injuries at the site.

The stadium was being used as a shelter for first responders in the buildup to the response to the storm. On Tuesday, rows of cots sat atop the Rays' artificial turf for use by emergency personnel.

The venue was originally called the Florida Suncoast Dome when it opened in 1990. During the Tampa Bay Lightning's tenancy from 1993-96, the building was known as the Thunder Dome. Local beverage giant Tropicana secured a 30-year naming rights deal in 1996.

Hurricane Milton reached land rated as Category 3, with winds around 120 mph, but later was downgraded to Category 2.

New York will face either the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres in the NL Championship Series beginning Sunday on the road in a best-of-seven series.

Lindor's grand slam came after five frustrating innings for the Mets, who left the bases loaded in the first and second against Ranger Suarez. Phillies reliever Jeff Hoffman (1-2) left with the bases loaded and one out in the sixth, and Carlos Estevez served up Lindor's homer.

David Peterson (1-0), the Mets' third pitcher on Wednesday, earned the win with 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Edwin Diaz notched the save by working around a pair of walks in the ninth.

Yankees 3, Royals 2

Giancarlo Stanton hit a long go-ahead home run in the eighth inning to lead New York past host Kansas City in Game 3 of their American League Division Series, giving the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the series.

Stanton finished 3-for-5, driving in another run with a double and adding a stolen base. His 12th career postseason homer, a 417-foot shot to left field against left-hander Kris Bubic (0-1) -- who had not allowed a run in three previous appearances during this year's postseason.

New York's bullpen, with Luke Weaver getting the final five outs for his second postseason save, kept the Royals scoreless after the fifth inning. Tommy Kahnle (1-0) got the victory with 1 1/3 perfect innings in relief after following starter Clarke Schmidt and Clay Holmes to the mound.

Tigers 3, Guardians 0

Riley Greene, Matt Vierling and Spencer Torkelson each drove in a run and six pitchers combined on a second straight shutout to give host Detroit a victory over Cleveland in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.

Starter Keider Montero and relievers Brant Hurter (1-0), Beau Brieske, Sean Guenther, Will Vest and Tyler Holton limited the Guardians to six hits and two walks as the Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.

Detroit -- which has not allowed a run over the last 20 innings -- moved one victory away from its first visit to the AL Championship Series since 2013. Game 4 is set for Thursday at Detroit. Cleveland starter Alex Cobb (0-1) gave up three hits and two runs over three innings.

Gavin Lux added a home run and eight Dodgers pitchers combined to allow seven hits in a bullpen game as Los Angeles tied the series 2-2 to set up a deciding Game 5 at Dodger Stadium on Friday. Evan Phillips (1-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings to get the win.

Without both shortstop Miguel Rojas (groin) and first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle), the Dodgers had Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor in the starting lineup, while Max Muncy moved to first base and Tommy Edman moved to shortstop.

San Diego right-hander Dylan Cease (0-1) started on three days' rest but lasted just 1 2/3 innings, while giving up three runs on four hits and throwing 38 pitches. He struck out one and walked one.

Fernando Tatis Jr. had a double in four at-bats and Jake Cronenworth had a triple for San Diego. Jurickson Profar and Manny Machado combined to go 1-for-8.

Betts gave the Dodgers a home run in the first inning for the second consecutive game, belting a solo shot to center field off Cease.

In the second inning, Lux worked a one-out walk and Enrique Hernandez followed with a single. Shohei Ohtani delivered a two-out RBI single, and Betts followed with a run-scoring single after Cease was replaced by Bryan Hoeing.

The Dodgers added two more in the third inning for a 5-0 lead when Muncy led off with a double and Smith crushed a home run to center field for his first hit in 10 NLDS at-bats.

Los Angeles nearly scored again in the fourth inning, but Ohtani was thrown out at home after Teoscar Hernandez's hit down the third base line was deflected by Machado off the arm of third base umpire Mark Ripperger. Machado recovered to make the play at the plate.

In the fifth inning, Muncy's drive to right-center was tracked down against the wall by Padres rookie center fielder Jackson Merrill.

The Dodgers scored three more times in the seventh inning, when Edman laid down a run-scoring safety squeeze and Lux hit a two-run homer.

The Yankees lead the best-of-five set two games to one, and they can advance to the AL Championship Series with a victory in Game 4 on Thursday in Kansas City.

Stanton finished 3-for-5, driving in another run with a double and adding a stolen base. His 12th career postseason homer, a 417-foot shot to left field against left-hander Kris Bubic, came off his bat at 112.9 mph, according to MLB Statcast data. Bubic (0-1) had not allowed a run in three previous appearances during this year's postseason.

New York's bullpen, with Luke Weaver getting the final five outs for his second postseason save, kept the Royals scoreless after the fifth inning. Tommy Kahnle (1-0) got the victory with 1 1/3 perfect innings in relief after following starter Clarke Schmidt and Clay Holmes to the mound.

Kansas City's best late scoring opportunity came in the eighth when Weaver allowed a one-out single to Bobby Witt Jr. and a two-out single to Salvador Perez. Yuli Gurriel flied out to end the inning.

Royals pitchers issued nine walks, and have allowed 22 walks in the series. Yankees batters managed four hits, collectively going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. AL MVP favorite Aaron Judge went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout, and he is 1-for-11 with five K's in the series.

Stanton's RBI double got the Yankees on the board against Royals starter Seth Lugo in the fourth, and Juan Soto hit a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead in the fifth.

Kansas City rallied with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. Adam Frazier hit an infield single, and the next batter, No. 9 hitter Kyle Isbel, lined an RBI double to left.

Michael Massey followed with an RBI triple to right that barely eluded a diving Juan Soto, getting Kansas City even and sending Kauffman Stadium into a frenzy.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone turned to relief pitcher Holmes, who then walked Witt, the shortstop's first time reaching base in the series in his 13th plate appearance. Vinnie Pasquantino flied out to end the threat.

Both 35-year-olds exited early during the Dodgers' 6-5 Game 3 loss on Tuesday in San Diego.

Rojas left in the third inning after aggravating a torn left adductor while running the bases. He originally was hurt weeks ago. Freeman exited for a pinch-runner in the eighth as he continues to battle a sprained right ankle he sustained Sept. 26.

Freeman also left Sunday's 10-2 loss in Game 2 after five innings. He was initially in Wednesday's lineup before being scratched.

Max Muncy moves over from third base to fill in for Freeman at first, while Tommy Edman replaced Rojas at shortstop.

Rojas is 2-for-8 (.250) in three starts for Los Angeles in these playoffs. Freeman is 3-for-11 (.273) with a stolen base.

The top-seeded Dodgers have lost two straight since winning 7-5 at home in Game 1 on Saturday. Los Angeles would host a decisive Game 5 on Friday if necessary, with the winner advancing to face the New York Mets in the best-of-seven NL Championship Series.

Francisco Lindor hit the go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning Wednesday for the Mets, who beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 to win their National League Division Series three games to one.

The Mets, who were 11 games under .500 in early June, didn't clinch the NL's sixth seed until splitting a makeup doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves on Sept. 30 -- the day after the regular season ended. New York will face either the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres in the NL Championship Series beginning Sunday on the road in a best-of-seven series.

The season-ending loss represents the latest October disappointment for the NL East-winning Phillies, who reached the World Series as the No. 6 seed in 2022 but lost in the NLCS last year before being eliminated in their first playoff series this year.

Lindor's grand slam came after five frustrating innings for the Mets, who left the bases loaded in the first and second against left-hander Ranger Suarez and also failed to score against Suarez and right-hander Jeff Hoffman (1-2) after putting two on with none out in the fifth.

The Mets again loaded the bases with none out in the sixth against Hoffman, who exited after getting Francisco Alvarez's grounder forced J.D. Martinez at home. But Lindor homered beyond the right-center field fence on the fourth pitch from closer Carlos Estevez for the second postseason grand slam in team history.

Starling Marte, on third base, did a joyful jig/dance as he jogged toward home. Lindor showed no emotion rounding the bases as the crowd of 44,103 roared and shook Citi Field.

It was just the latest dramatic moment in a potentially franchise-altering nine-day stretch for the Mets. Lindor hit the go-ahead two-run ninth-inning homer in the 8-7 win over the Braves that clinched a playoff berth in the doubleheader opener on Sept. 30.

Three days later, New York was two outs away from being eliminated by the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of an NL wild-card series when Pete Alonso hit the go-ahead three-run homer in a 4-2 win.

David Peterson (1-0), the Mets' third pitcher on Wednesday, earned the win with 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Edwin Diaz notched the save by working around a pair of walks in the ninth.

New York starter Jose Quintana gave up an unearned run over five-plus innings, allowing two hits and two walks with six strikeouts.

The Phillies scored their lone run in the fourth, when Bryce Harper raced home from third on a fielding error by third baseman Mark Vientos.

Suarez tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings despite allowing five hits and four walks. He struck out eight.

Starter Keider Montero and relievers Brant Hurter (1-0), Beau Brieske, Sean Guenther, Will Vest and Tyler Holton limited the Guardians to six hits and two walks as the Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.

Detroit -- which has not allowed a run over the last 20 innings -- moved one victory away from its first visit to the AL Championship Series since 2013. Game 4 is set for Thursday at Detroit.

Greene gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the first inning with his two-out single up the middle that scored Parker Meadows from second base. Meadows, who opened the inning with a single to center, has hit safely in all five postseason games this year. He's the first Tiger to record a hit in each of his first five career playoff games since Al Kaline in 1968.

Jake Rogers helped put Detroit ahead 2-0 in the third when he led off with a double down the left field line, moved to third on a groundout and scored on Vierling's sacrifice fly to center.

Hurter, who came on in the second to replace Montero, gave up five hits in 3 1 1/3 innings, including back-to-back singles to Brayan Rocchio and Steve Kwan with one out in the fifth. He was replaced by Brieske, who closed out the inning with a strikeout of David Fry and a flyout by Jose Ramirez.

Torkelson snapped an 0-for-14 postseason slump by blasting a double to the left field corner in the bottom of sixth off Tim Herrin, scoring Colt Keith from second and giving the Tigers a 3-0 lead.

The Guardians used seven pitchers who allowed five hits. Alex Cobb (0-1), making his first start since Sept. 1, gave up three hits and two runs over three innings. He had been on the injured list with a blister on his right middle finger that ended his regular season. He was followed by Erik Sabrowski, Tim Herrin, Eli Morgan, Cade Smith, Andrew Walters and Joey Cantillo, who combined to allow one run on two hits.

The game drew 44,885 fans, setting a Comerica Park postseason attendance record.

McNeil, 32, last appeared in a game on Sept. 6, but the two-time All-Star was with the team on Wednesday and took infield and batting practice before Game 4 of the NL Division Series against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets lead the best-of-five series 2-1.

To allow McNeil to face live pitching, the Mets petitioned Major League Baseball to let him appear in AFL games due to Hurricane Milton's impact on the team's spring training facilities in Port St. Lucie, Fla. MLB approved the petition, and McNeil is slated to play on Friday and Saturday. The NLCS is set to begin on Sunday.

In 129 games this season before the injury, McNeil hit .238 with 12 homers and 44 RBIs. Over seven seasons with the Mets, who picked him in the 12th round of the 2013 draft, the 2022 MLB batting champion has hit .289 with 68 home runs and 313 RBIs in 801 games.

Jose Iglesias filled in nicely for McNeil, batting .395 with one homer, 14 runs and four RBIs in 22 regular-season games since taking over Sept. 6. In this postseason, Iglesias is hitting .231 (6-for-26) with three RBIs and three runs in six games.

McNeil wouldn't be the first player to rejoin his team after a stint in the AFL following a serious injury. In 2016, then-Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber -- who missed almost the entire season with an ACL injury -- was able to play in an AFL game before joining Chicago's World Series roster.

The team announced that Dubon had a procedure to repair the thumb's ulnar collateral ligament, an injury that he played through after getting hurt in early September.

Dubon, 30, hit .269 with 25 doubles and 47 RBIs in a career-high 137 games in 2024. He was 2-for-5 in the Astros' two-game sweep by the Detroit Tigers in the American League wild-card series.

He also became the first player in Astros history this season to start games at seven different defensive positions -- everywhere except catcher and pitcher.

The Dodgers had won the regular-season series against the Padres 13 years in a row until this season, when San Diego had an 8-5 advantage. San Diego now leads the best-of-five NLDS 2-1 entering Game 4 at San Diego on Wednesday.

Here are five keys to victory for the first elimination game of the series, with Game 5 set for Friday in Los Angeles, if necessary.

LEAN INTO PITCHING STRENGTHS

Replacing a reigning Cy Young Award winner is a no-win situation, but the Padres made it happen when Blake Snell departed and Dylan Cease arrived. Cease won't win the award, but he might have done one better by guiding the Padres back into the playoffs. He went 14-11 with a 3.47 ERA, threw a no-hitter in July and made consecutive scoreless starts in September. However, when he gets the ball in Game 4, he will be out to rectify a clunker in Game 1, when he gave up five runs in just 3 1/3 innings. In the regular season, he held Los Angeles to a 3.38 ERA in two starts.

The pitching-rich Dodgers have dealt with so many injuries to their starters that the best member of their rotation when the season ended was Jack Flaherty, who didn't make his debut with the club until early August after a trade-deadline deal. The Dodgers will try to cover Game 4 with a clear pitching strength: the bullpen. Rookie right-hander Landon Knack is available to pick up multiple innings. The Los Angeles relief corps was crucial to the team's Game 1 win, yielding just two hits over six scoreless innings.

TOP GUNS

There are stars aplenty at the top of each lineup, although it is the Padres who are extracting the most out of their higher-profile players of late. Dodgers pitchers figure to be careful with Fernando Tatis Jr., as he hit three home runs in the past two games and is 10-for-18 with four total homers in the playoffs. Manny Machado likes being a Dodgers foil, and he has hit safely in each game of the series, but he tweaked a calf in his last at-bat of Game 3. Jurickson Profar had his best season in his 11th year and at age 31. He has just four singles through five games this postseason, but he could be poised for a breakthrough.

DEFENSE CAN'T REST

The Padres turned highlight defensive plays from Tatis, Profar and Luis Arraez into the inspiration that launched their 10-2 victory in Game 2. The Dodgers crumbled on defense in the second inning of Game 3, when first baseman Freddie Freeman hit Machado with a throw that opened the door for a six-run rally. Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas tried to eliminate the middleman on a double-play attempt in the same inning and didn't get either runner. Adding to the issue, Rojas aggravated a nagging groin injury on the play and left the game an inning later.

A 50-50 PROPOSITION

With Freeman struggling at the top of the order while Max Muncy and Will Smith have been unable to deliver toward the bottom, production will have to be carried by superstar Shohei Ohtani, who is in his first career playoff series. The Dodgers got a three-run home run from Ohtani in Game 1 and earned a 7-5 victory. He has gone 1-for-8 over the next two games with four strikeouts. The Dodgers are struggling to produce sustained rallies, and they need Ohtani's power to make runs happen.

HOME COOKING

A handful of Dodgers fans tried to enter the proceedings in Game 2 by throwing baseballs and trash on the field. The ploy backfired when the Padres gathered in the dugout to refocus during a 12-minute delay, then reeled off six runs and four homers over the final two innings of their Sunday victory. Padres fans pulled no such antics in Game 3 when a Petco Park record crowd of 47,744 was in attendance. "It was a great atmosphere in Petco tonight," Padres manager Mike Shildt said after Game 3. "The crowd was phenomenal. Clearly I thought it was a difference-maker in part of what we were doing tonight. And we felt them, so that was great."

Four relievers combined to throw four scoreless innings, with Robert Suarez picking up a four-out save, as the Padres took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. San Diego moved one victory away from its second visit to the National League Championship Series in three seasons.

Game 4 is set for Wednesday at San Diego.

The Padres sent 10 batters to the plate in the second inning to overcome an early Dodgers lead and set up a similar scenario to the 2022 NLDS, when they lost the opening game at Los Angeles then won the next three.

Teoscar Hernandez hit a grand slam for the Dodgers, and Mookie Betts homered to end an 0-for-22 stretch in the postseason. Los Angeles starter Walker Buehler (0-1) gave up six runs on seven hits over five innings without a strikeout. Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-4.

After Padres starter Michael King (2-0) gave up five runs on five hits over five innings, Jeremiah Estrada and Jason Adam each pitched a 1-2-3 inning. Tanner Scott recorded two outs in the eighth before Suarez earned his second save of the postseason.

Betts nearly had a home run taken away in the first inning for the second consecutive game by Jurickson Profar, but this time the ball clipped the glove of the Padres left fielder and cleared the wall as Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead.

In the Padres' six-run second inning, Dodgers infielders Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas were unable to turn potential double plays off ground balls.

Manny Machado scored to tie the game 1-1 on the botched double-play attempt by shortstop Rojas. Peralta's two-run double down the right field line gave San Diego a 3-1 lead before Kyle Higashioka brought home a run on a sacrifice fly.

With two outs, Tatis socked a two-run home run to left-center for a 6-1 lead. It was Tatis' fourth of the postseason and third in two games.

The Dodgers got back in the game after opening the third inning with three consecutive singles to load the bases, the first from Rojas, who left the game with a groin injury after reaching third base. Hernandez delivered his grand slam to center field, pulling the Dodgers within 6-5.

Rojas received a visit from a member of the Dodgers' medical staff in the bottom of the second inning while on defense but stayed in the game. He singled in the third inning and advanced to third base on two more singles before he came out of the game.

Rookie Andy Pages replaced Rojas on the bases and took over in center field, while Tommy Edman moved from center to shortstop to replace Rojas on defense.

Rojas was bothered by adductor soreness for most of the season and missed the final four games of the regular season after he was diagnosed with a slight tear.

Rojas, 35, batted .283 with six home runs and 36 RBIs in 103 games this season, taking over at shortstop after Mookie Betts was moved back to right field after a broken hand.

Over 11 major league seasons, Rojas is a career .260 hitter with 50 home runs and 336 RBIs for the Dodgers (2014, 2022-23) and Miami Marlins (2015-22).

Games on Fox's family of networks and Turner's family of networks saw a 41 percent spike in ratings from last year, according to Fox's insights and analytics president Mike Mulvihill.

Fox and FS1 aired the first two games of the New York Mets-Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres-Los Angeles Dodgers series over the weekend, and the games averaged 3.6 million viewers. That's the highest mark for Fox through Games 1 and 2 of the division series since the network started airing the round in 2014.

The two American League Division Series, Detroit Tigers-Cleveland Guardians and Kansas City Royals-New York Yankees, started Saturday on TBS and Max, and they also attracted increased viewership over the equivalent games last year. Front Office Sports reported that the ALDS Game 1 ratings rose 21 percent.

All four division series were tied at one win apiece, the first time that has happened in the three decades that the round has been contested.

The networks also benefited from the presence of the sport's two most famous -- and arguably best -- players.

NL Most Valuable player front-runner Ohtani is in the postseason for the first time, capping a historic campaign in which he became the first player in history to amass 50-plus home runs and 50-plus stolen bases in the same year. It's his first season with the Dodgers after he played six years with the perennial also-ran Los Angeles Angels.

Judge, likely headed for his second AL MVP honor, led the majors with 58 homers and 144 RBIs for the Yankees.

Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker homered, Starling Marte and Jose Iglesias each had two-run singles and Francisco Lindor added an RBI double for the Mets, who lead the best-of-five series two games to one. Game 4 is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, when host New York will aim to reach the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2015.

The Phillies, who reached the World Series in 2022 and the NLCS in 2023, haven't won a game when facing elimination since defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 5 of the 1993 World Series.

Manaea (1-0), who entered Tuesday with a 10.66 ERA in four career playoff appearances, gave up one run on three hits while striking out six, walking two and plunking two over seven-plus innings.

The most well-struck hit off Manaea was Alec Bohm's one-out single off the right-center field wall in the fourth, but center fielder Tyrone Taylor barehanded the carom and fired to shortstop Francisco Lindor, who made a swipe tag at the sliding Bohm.

Manaea got out of a jam in the sixth, when he walked Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner to open the inning. The 32-year-old southpaw then struck out Bryce Harper on three pitches and got Nick Castellanos to line to second, where Iglesias tossed to Lindor to double up Schwarber.

Manaea exited to a standing ovation after giving up Edmundo Sosa's infield single leading off the eighth. Harper and Castellanos had back-to-back two-out RBI singles against Phil Maton and Ryne Stanek before Bohm flew out to strand two.

Alonso continued his run of dramatic moments by homering on the first pitch he saw from Aaron Nola (0-1) in the second inning. It was the third homer in the last four games for Alonso, an impending free agent who extended the Mets' season by hitting a three-run ninth-inning homer last Thursday in New York's 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of an NL wild card series.

Winker homered deep into the second deck in right in the fourth. Marte and Iglesias added their insurance hits in the sixth and seventh before Lindor delivered his hit with two outs in the eighth.

Nola (0-1) gave up four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over five-plus innings.

The nature of Grove's injury was not yet revealed. He faced two batters in the Dodgers' Game 2 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday, allowing a solo home run to Xander Bogaerts before striking out Jake Cronenworth to end the eighth inning.

By rule, Grove will be ineligible for the Dodgers' NL Championship Series roster should they advance. He would be eligible to return for the World Series.

Grove, 27, is in his third season in the majors and pitched 39 games in the regular season, starting two. He went 4-4 with a 5.12 ERA. In 64 major league games (20 starts), Grove is 7-7 with a 5.48 ERA, with 151 strikeouts in 149 1/3 innings.

Casparius, 25, is a rookie who made his major league debut in August. He threw 8 1/3 innings over three relief appearances in the regular season, tossing 12 strikeouts and going 2-0 with a 2.16 ERA.

The Dodgers continue their series, tied 1-1, Tuesday night at the Padres.

Seven other teams -- the St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Angels, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals and Miami Marlins -- were also freed of their in-market rights deals with Diamond. Per a Sportico report on Tuesday, the Cardinals, Rays, Angels, Royals and Marlins are among those seven franchises in talks to renew for the 2025 season.

The Guardians, whose reach on its regional sports network this season was approximately 1.45 million households, will now be available to approximately 4.86 million households with MLB, an increase of 235 percent. The Twins will go from about 1.08 million homes to about 4.4 million homes with MLB, receiving a 307 percent boost.

As for the Brewers, who had a similar household audience to the aforementioned teams, they will retain the direct-to-consumer streaming option they had with their previous local media outlet.

MLB produced and distributed games for the San Diego Padres, Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks in 2024, and the new arrangement with the Twins, Brewers and Guardians will look similar. MLB handled the agreements with cable and satellite distributors and made available direct-to-consumer streaming options at Padres.TV, Rockies.TV and Dbacks.TV.

"With the media landscape continuing to evolve, Major League Baseball is committed to serving our fans by ensuring they can see their favorite clubs, removing blackouts where we can, and ultimately growing the reach of our games," said Noah Garden, MLB Deputy Commissioner for Business and Media. "We are proud to bring Guardians, Brewers and Twins games to their passionate fan bases with the same high-quality production that we have demonstrated in Arizona, Colorado, and San Diego."

Special features of MLB's local game production this season included live look-ins to the MLB Replay Operations Center, pregame and postgame on-field locations, in-game interviews with players, a new right field camera and Ump Cam.

His agency, Excel Baseball, issued a statement Tuesday that said the watch was taken from Buehler as he attended a horse race at Santa Anita Park in suburban Arcadia, Calif.

Multiple reports said the watch was worth $100,000.

"Following Walker's final regular season start on September 27th, he and a number of other players did not travel to Colorado for the final regular season series. That weekend, Walker and his wife McKenzie, were attending horse races at Santa Anita Park," the statement read. "While walking from the (paddock) to their seats, Walker was unknowingly the victim of a snatch and grab robbery of his watch. The incident was reported to police and is currently under investigation. We are grateful Walker and McKenzie were not harmed and Walker is focused on the playoffs."

Buehler is scheduled to start Game 3 of the National League Division Series Tuesday night in San Diego. The Padres and Dodgers are knotted at 1-1.

The 30-year-old Buehler was raised in Lexington, Ky., and has an avid interest in horse racing. He was one of the owners of a microshare in Authentic, the Bob Baffert-trained horse that won the 2020 Kentucky Derby.

The move announced Tuesday comes despite the team posting its second straight season with 100-plus losses in 2024.

Although Black, 67, will be back, the team dismissed bullpen coach Reid Cornelius and assistant hitting coach P.J. Pilittere.

"While our recent results on the field did not meet expectations, we believe this team is heading in the right direction with the growth of very talented young players," Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt said. "Our organization is committed to giving our fans the winning team that they deserve. We believe the foundation we're building with our core roster and our farm system, along with Buddy's skills, experience and knowledge are instrumental in achieving our goal of playing games in October."

Black has a record of 537-657 (.450) over eight seasons with the Rockies, the most games and wins for any skipper in the franchise's history. Colorado made consecutive playoff appearances in 2017-18, the only time in team history the club reached the postseason in back-to-back years.

The Rockies finished 61-101 this season after going 59-103 in 2023.

Black managed the San Diego Padres from 2007-15 and has an overall record of 1,186-1,370 (.464). He was named the National League Manager of the Year in 2010.

Multiple media outlets in Boston confirmed the right-hander's passing on Tuesday.

Tiant won 229 games with six teams over 19 seasons in the majors (1964-82), striking out 2,416 batters and retiring with a 3.30 ERA in 573 appearances (484 starts).

The Cuban-born Tiant made his first All-Star team and captured his first ERA title (1.60) as a 21-game winner with the then-Cleveland Indians in 1968.

Traded to the Minnesota Twins after a 20-loss season in 1969, Tiant revived his career after signing with Boston as a free agent in May 1971.

Over eight seasons with the Red Sox, he went 122-81 with a 3.36 ERA while winning another ERA title in 1972 (1.91) and earning All-Star nods in 1974 and 1976. He recorded at least 20 wins with Boston in three seasons (1973, 1974 and 1976) and was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1997.

Tiant pitched for Cleveland (1964-69), Minnesota (1970), Boston (1971-78), the New York Yankees (1979-80), the Pittsburgh Pirates (1981) and the California Angels (1982).

He won two of his three starts against Cincinnati during his lone World Series appearance in 1975, with the Reds beating Boston in seven games.

Goldin Auctions announced Monday that the lawyers for the fans who are arguing over the ball's rightful owner agreed to let the auction continue. With another two weeks to go in the auction, the latest top bid was $1.5 million, which would see the buyer owing more than $1.8 million when the auction house's fee is included.

The ball has significant value because of its place in baseball history: When that ball cleared the fence in Miami on Sept. 19, Ohtani became the first player ever to amass 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in the same year. The Los Angeles Dodgers star ended the season with 54 homers and 59 steals.

After the ball landed in the left field stands, Chris Belanski wound up with it, and he is the one who initiated the auction. However, two other fans, Max Matus and Joseph Davidov, subsequently filed separate lawsuits alleging that they had possession of the ball before it was taken from them.

Davidov's attorney, Devon Workman, told Front Office Sports on Monday, "Parties have agreed to let the sale proceed and then the parties will continue to litigate over ownership over the final proceeds of the sale."

Goldin said in a statement, according to ESPN, that "all parties want the 50/50 ball to be auctioned by Goldin, and have agreed to convey any and all of their ownership interests in the 50/50 ball to the winner of the auction, giving the winner full assurance that they will receive free and clear title to the 50/50 ball."

The record price for a baseball is $3 million, which was paid for the ball Mark McGwire hit for his 70th homer in 1998.
