CINCINNATI \u2014 Sal Stewart hit a pair of three-run home runs for a career-high six RBIs, Eugenio Suarez and\u00a0Elly De La Cruz\u00a0also homered, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 8-3 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old Stewart has 12 career homers, the most by a Reds batter through his first 36 games since Aristides Aquino hit 15 in 2018-19.<\/p>\n
Stewart is the second-youngest Reds player with six RBIs in a game, behind De La Cruz, who drove in six on Aug. 23, 2003, at the age of 21.<\/p>\n
Rookie Rhett Lowder (2-1) allowed three runs in 6 2\/3 innings for Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
Former Red Tyler Mahle (0-3) started for San Francisco and allowed eight runs with five walks and four homers in four innings, raising his ERA from 4.30 to 7.23.<\/p>\n
With two runners on in the first, Stewart hit his sixth home run to right-center. Three pitches later, Suarez reached the first row of seats in right to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n
It was Suarez\u2019s 192nd homer as a Red, moving him past Brandon Phillips into 12th place on the franchise\u2019s career list. Suarez had three hits in a game for the first time since rejoining the Reds.<\/p>\n
DIAMONDBACKS 8, ORIOLES 5, 10 INNINGS<\/p>\n
BALTIMORE \u2014 Adrian Del Castillo hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning and drove in five to lead\u00a0Arizona\u00a0to a win over\u00a0Baltimore.<\/p>\n
Arizona went 6-3 on its nine-game trip to the New York Mets, Philadelphia and Baltimore, winning two of three from each.<\/p>\n
Jeremiah Jackson homered and drove in three for Baltimore, which has lost consecutive games for the first time since a three-game sweep at Pittsburgh April 3-5.<\/p>\n
After Geraldo Perdomo advanced automatic runner Corbin Carroll to third on a sacrifice to open the 10th,\u00a0Del Castillo lashed a 2-0 fastball\u00a0from Tyler Wells (0-1) into the bleachers in center for his first home run of the season. Nolan Arenado\u2019s single later in the inning drove in an insurance run.<\/p>\n
Ryan Thompson (1-0) pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for Arizona. Juan Morillo earned his first save with a scoreless 10th.<\/p>\n
ST. LOUIS \u2014 Nathan Church had three hits, Alec Burleson had two RBIs and Jordan Walker extended his hitting streak to 11 games as\u00a0St. Louis\u00a0beat\u00a0Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Dustin May (2-2) allowed one run on six hits and a walk and had four strikeouts in six innings, and Riley O\u2019Brien pitched a perfect ninth to earn his fifth save and help St. Louis win its second straight game.<\/p>\n
Slade Cecconi allowed one run on three hits but surrendered a career-high five walks and threw 87 pitches in four innings for Cleveland, which lost consecutive games for the first time this season.<\/p>\n
JJ Wetherholt lined a sacrifice fly to center field off Tim Herrin after Connor Brogdon (2-2) walked Victor Scott II to load the bases in the sixth inning, and Burleson hit a two-run single up the middle to pull St. Louis ahead 4-1.<\/p>\n
Church pulled an RBI double down the right-field line in the bottom of the seventh inning after Bo Naylor lined a two-run double off Justin Bruihl in the top of the seventh to cut Cleveland\u2019s deficit to 4-3.<\/p>\n
Guardians designated hitter Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez fouled the first pitch he saw in the sixth inning off his right shin and was down for several minutes before finishing his at bat and grounding into a double play.<\/p>\n
In the first inning, Ram\u00edrez grounded into a fielder\u2019s choice in his franchise-record 6,040th career at bat to break Nap LaJoie\u2019s 112-year-old record.<\/p>\n
MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Trevor Story homered and drove in five runs to lead Boston over Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Connelly Early (1-0) gave up one run, two hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings, the longest of his eight major league starts.<\/p>\n
Andruw Monasterio had three of Boston\u2019s 13 hits. Ceddanne Rafaela, batting second in the order for the just the second time in his major league career, went 1 for 3 with a walk.<\/p>\n
Simeon Woods Richardson (0-3) gave up seven runs \u2014 six earned \u2014 10 hits and three walks in five innings.<\/p>\n
Austin Martin had two hits, including a home run. Ryan Kreidler hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning for the Twins, who lost for just the second time in 10 games.<\/p>\n
PITTSBURGH \u2014 Carmen Mlodzinski allowed two hits over a career-high six innings and Pittsburgh beat Washington.<\/p>\n
Mlodzinski (1-0) took over for opener Mason Montgomery in the second and struck out five against two walks to lower his ERA to 1.77. Dennis Santana worked the ninth for his second save.<\/p>\n
Ryan O\u2019Hearn had three hits for the Pirates, who have won 10 of 14. Marcell Ozuna and Nick Gonzales had first-inning RBI singles against Jake Irvin (1-2), and it proved to be enough as four pitchers combined for Pittsburgh\u2019s second shutout in less than a week.<\/p>\n
Mlodzinski began this season as a full-fledged starter for the first time in his four-year career after bouncing between the rotation and the bullpen last season.<\/p>\n
While he was excellent through his first three turns in 2026, manager Don Kelly opted to give the ball to the left-handed Montgomery in the first inning on Wednesday in hopes of dealing with the left-hand-heavy top of Washington\u2019s lineup while also allowing Mlodzinski to work deeper into the game.<\/p>\n
PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Nico Hoerner drove in a career-high five runs, Shota Imanaga struck out 11 in six strong innings and Chicago routed Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Dansby Swanson homered and Matt Shaw had three doubles and a pair of RBIs for the Cubs, who pounded out 15 hits to take the rubber match of the three-game set.<\/p>\n
Trea Turner and Bryce Harper homered for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Imanaga (1-1) allowed three hits and walked one.<\/p>\n
Chicago went in front for good with three runs in the third inning off Jes\u00fas Luzardo (1-3). Hoerner\u2019s bloop single scored Shaw from second, tying the game at 1-all. After Alex Bregman walked, Hoerner and Bregman executed a double steal. Hoerner reached home when catcher J.T. Realmuto\u2019s throw went into left field. Bregman advanced to third on the error and scored on Luzardo\u2019s wild pitch.<\/p>\n
After Hoerner\u2019s two-run shot to left-center in the fifth gave the Cubs a four-run lead, Chicago tacked on four more runs in the sixth. Shaw\u2019s two-run double ended the night for Luzardo, and Horner capped the scoring with a two-run single against lefty reliever Kyle Backhus.<\/p>\n
Luzardo was battered for nine runs \u2014 eight earned \u2014 on 12 hits in 5 1\/3 innings, raising his ERA to 7.94.<\/p>\n
DETROIT \u2014 Wenceel P\u00e9rez hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and Detroit won its fifth straight game, beating Kansas City.<\/p>\n
P\u00e9rez entered the game in the eighth inning as a defensive replacement when Zach McKinstry left after a collision with Jac Caglianone at third base.<\/p>\n
P\u00e9rez\u2019s first at-bat came as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the eighth and he hit a 1-1 changeup from Eli Morgan (0-1) over the right-field fence for his first homer of the season.<\/p>\n
Kyle Finnegan (1-0) got the win with 1 1\/3 scoreless innings of relief and Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his fourth save.<\/p>\n
Neither starter was involved in the decision despite strong outings. Detroit\u2019s Jack Flaherty allowed one run and two hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and three walks. Kansas City\u2019s Seth Lugo gave up one run and five hits with seven strikeouts and no walks in 6 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
ATLANTA \u2014 Bryce Elder pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, three Atlanta players homered and the Braves won another series with a victory over Miami.<\/p>\n
Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley and Matt Olson went deep for the first-place Braves, who took two of three from Miami for their fifth series win. They split their other series, a four-game set at Arizona.<\/p>\n
Considered the weak link in the rotation coming into the season, Elder (2-1) lowered his ERA through four starts to 0.77. He limited the Marlins to four hits over 5 2-3 innings, with two walks and seven strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Albies put the home team ahead with his\u00a0fourth homer\u00a0of the season, a 370-foot drive off Chris Paddack (0-3) that just cleared the right-field wall. The Braves followed with three straight singles, including\u00a0Mauricio Dub\u00f3n\u2019s run-scoring liner\u00a0that made it 2-0.<\/p>\n
The Marlins appeared to halve the deficit in the fifth when Xavier Edwards was ruled safe at first on an attempted double play with the bases loaded. The Braves challenged, and\u00a0the call was overturned\u00a0when the replay showed the throw from shortstop Dub\u00f3n landing in Matt Olson\u2019s glove just before Edwards\u2019 cleats landed on first base for the third out.<\/p>\n
Riley, off to a sluggish start, tacked on his first homer of the season in the sixth by sending one into the left-field seats off John King.\u00a0Olson added a two-run homer\u00a0against Andrew Nardi in the seventh.<\/p>\n
NEW YORK \u2014 Jos\u00e9 Caballero laced a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth inning that gave New York a victory over Los Angeles, moments after it botched an infield popup in a costly misplay.<\/p>\n
Aaron Judge hit his third homer of the series and Trent Grisham had a two-run single for the Yankees, who won for only the second time in eight games following an 8-2 start.<\/p>\n
Mike Trout hit his fourth homer in three games, putting the Angels ahead 4-3 with a two-run drive in the fifth.<\/p>\n
That was still the score when Jazz Chisholm Jr. popped up to the left side with one out and nobody on in the ninth. But shortstop Zach Neto and ex-Yankees third baseman Oswald Peraza miscommunicated, and the ball dropped right between them on the infield dirt for a gift single.<\/p>\n
That came back to bite the Angels, who had played outstanding defence all night to that point.<\/p>\n
Austin Wells worked a full-count walk against closer Jordan Romano (0-2), and both runners were attempting to steal when Caballero lined a 1-2 slider into left-center.<\/p>\n
Chisholm easily scored the tying run and third-base coach Luis Rojas aggressively waved Wells home. The catcher barely beat Neto\u2019s relay throw to the plate with a feet-first slide, and the safe call was confirmed after a replay review.<\/p>\n
MILWAUKEE \u2014 William Contreras hit the only ball out of the infield during a two-run rally in the eighth inning as Milwaukee snapped a six-game skid with a victory over Toronto.<\/p>\n
Toronto wasted a brilliant performance from Dylan Cease, who struck out six and allowed two hits and three walks in six shutout innings.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee capitalized on some good luck in the eighth to end its longest losing streak since 2023.<\/p>\n
David Hamilton led off by beating out an infield single. Hamilton hit a ball less than halfway up the left side of the infield and pitcher Tyler Rogers (1-1) was unable to field it with his bare hand.<\/p>\n
Sal Frelick followed by hitting a high bouncer that catcher Brandon Valenzuela mishandled after it fell right in front of home plate. The error by Valenzuela put runners on first and second.<\/p>\n
Contreras then grounded a single into right that scored Hamilton and advanced Frelick to third. Frelick scored the go-ahead run when Brice Turang grounded to second on a chopper that bounced over the head of Rogers.<\/p>\n
Abner Uribe retired the side in order in the ninth to earn his first save of the season.<\/p>\n
CHICAGO \u2014 Junior Caminero, Jake Fraley and Jonny DeLuca homered, and Tampa Bay pounded Chicago for its fifth straight win.<\/p>\n
Caminero gave the Rays a 1-0 lead in the third with a rocket down the left-field line against White Sox starter Sean Burke (0-2) for his third homer. He added an RBI groundout in the fifth before Jonathan Aranda doubled in run.<\/p>\n
Fraley made it 4-0 when he led off the sixth with a shot to right for his first home run. DeLuca, batting for Fraley, capped a four-run seventh with a three-run drive against Tyler Gilbert.<\/p>\n
Jesse Scholtens (1-0) threw one-hit ball over five innings in relief after Cole Sulser worked the first two as Tampa Bay\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n
The start of the game was delayed a few minutes after a\u00a0singer leading the \u201cJackie Robinson Day\u201d festivities collapsed. The White Sox said Gerald Chaney, a longtime anthem performer, was alert before being taken to the hospital after he collapsed while performing \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The White Sox have lost seven of nine. They did all their scoring in the ninth to avoid being shut out for the third time in five games.<\/p>\n
Burke gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
HOUSTON \u2014 Yordan Alvarez\u00a0hit his seventh home run\u00a0of the season and Spencer Arrighetti struck out 10 in six strong innings to lead Houston to a win over Colorado.<\/p>\n
Alvarez, who took Jose Quintana deep in the third inning, is tied for second in the majors in homers.<\/p>\n
Arrighetti (1-0) gave up two hits and one run in his first major league start this season after being recalled from Triple-A following an injury to right-hander Cody Bolton.<\/p>\n
Houston has won two straight following an eight-game skid. The Rockies have lost six in a row after winning their previous four.<\/p>\n
The Rockies had runners on first and third with two outs in the seventh, but Bryan Abreu retired TJ Rumfield on a groundout. Enyel De Los Santos struck out two in a scoreless ninth to get the save for a second night in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI \u2014 Sal Stewart hit a pair of three-run home runs for a career-high six RBIs, Eugenio Suarez…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":607591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-607590","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/607591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
