Sophomore righty Taylor Harrison relieved Leger with runners at the corners and one out, got a strikeout looking and a groundout to prevent further damage and went...

Mulvihill believes the matchup and the ratings performance of the NFL this past season point to a game that will top the current audience record of 114.4...
