ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Riley Greene didn't want to dwell on becoming the first player in major league history to homer twice in the ninth inning of a game The Detroit Tigers' slugger hit a leadoff shot and then added a three-run blast later in the inning in a 9-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night I just found that out -- pretty cool," Greene said after fueling an eight-run We got to show up tomorrow and try to win another baseball game." The score was tied 1-1 when Greene, facing Angels closer Kenley Jansen led off the ninth with a 371-foot homer off the top of the right-field wall Colt Keith followed with a homer to left-center for a 2-1 lead, Jace Jung singled with one out, and Javier Báez hit a two-out giving the Tigers' center fielder home runs in three straight games The Tigers, who have an American League-best 21-12 record, weren't through. Kerry Carpenter singled, Zach McKinstry doubled and Carpenter scored on a wild pitch to make it 6-1 Spencer Torkelson walked, giving Greene a shot at history, and the cleanup man seized the moment, crushing a 409-foot homer to right-center off left-hander Jake Eder for a 9-1 lead Greene is the first Tigers player to hit two homers in an inning since Magglio Ordonez did so in the second inning against the Oakland Athletics on Aug The only other Tigers player to homer twice in an inning is Hall of Famer Al Kaline against the Kansas City A's on April 17 and he asks for more," Detroit manager A.J "You want guys to be rewarded when they work as hard as they do Greene joined the Angels' Jo Adell as the only players to hit multiple homers in an inning this season.

But this is no time for a victory lap Another strong start for Reese OlsonOne of the stories of this 23-game stretch has been the Tigers’ strong starting pitching. Entering the series finale against the Angels, the Tigers pitchers had a 2.75 team ERA (during this stretch), the second-lowest in all of baseball, trailing only the San Diego Padres (2.52 ERA) And Tigers starter Reese Olson went out and blanked the Angels Olson got into trouble in the first inning loading the bases after a giving up a single But he struck out Luis Rengifo to get out of the jam and then seemed to run out of gas in the sixth inning with a pair of walks and a wild pitch getting Jo Adell to pop out to Colt Keith at first base to end the threat Olson finished with a strong line: eight strikeouts no runs and just three hits over 5⅔ innings MORE TIGERS: Javier Báez impacting Detroit Tigers wins, soaring like a bird, cranking homers The Tigers preach doing the little things right making smart decisions and being aggressive Spencer Torkelson was on second base and Javier Báez hit a grounder to third baseman Rengifo But Rengifo’s only option was to get a force out at second base and Torkelson continued to third base And it was an example of a little thing that actually turned into a run He started the game by singling into left center field he topped it off by hitting his eighth homer of the season Matt Vierling updateMatt Vierling (shoulder) began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo “I was texting with him this morning,” Hinch said before the game “He was like a kid going to his first Little League game where he was happy to be back in uniform and back playing.” Contact Jeff Seidel: jseidel@freepress.com.

BOSTON – Kody Clemens, the son of a seven-time Cy Young Award winner who won a Most Valuable Player award and pitched in a World Series as a member of the Boston Red Sox, accomplished something his dad never did at Fenway Park. With his dad, Roger, in the stands for the first game he played at the ballpark Saturday, Kody Clemens electrified the Twins dugout with his go-ahead, two-run home run in the sixth inning. It was a no-doubter to right field, the Twins’ first homer with a runner on base in 43 innings. The Twins ended their four-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory, their bullpen stranding four Red Sox baserunners across the last three innings. “It’s a big-time home run for us as a team, but that’s a sweet moment,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “He’s got his whole family here. He’s at Fenway Park. Obviously, his dad had so much history in this place with these fans. No matter what he does — hopefully he plays for 15 more years — that’ll be something he never forgets, and I’ll never forget, either.” The home run from Clemens elicited memories from when Red Sox Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski watched his grandson, Mike, homer in his first game at Fenway Park. Clemens, 28, was born during his dad‘s final season with the Red Sox, four months before Roger Clemens matched an MLB record with a 20-strikeout game. One inning after the Twins left the bases loaded when Carlos Correa flew out to shallow right field, Kody Clemens connected on a slider that sat over the middle of the plate from Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins. Correa met Clemens at the top of the dugout steps to congratulate him before Clemens strode through the dugout line of high-fives. A fan threw the home run ball back onto the field, and a Fenway Park attendant threw the ball into a different part of the stands. A friend of Roger Clemens eventually retrieved it. “I was just fired up to hit the ball hard,” said Kody Clemens, who made a trip to Fenway when he was with the Detroit Tigers in 2022 but never appeared in a game. “I haven’t gotten a lot of playing time over the course of the past few weeks.” who improved their record to 2-6 in one-run games held off the Red Sox after a 72-minute rain delay in the seventh inning gave up run-scoring hits to Jarren Duran and Rafael Devers before Griffin Jax retired the next two batters after Twins pinch runner DaShawn Keirsey Jr was thrown out at the plate running on a contact play with Boston’s infield drawn in Cole Sands permitted a pair of one-out singles One of them was a miscommunication between Carlos Correa and Clemens allowing a ground ball to roll through the middle of the infield with neither attempting to field it with a sellout crowd of 36,250 at full roar after giving up a leadoff single to Ceddanne Rafaela The Twins opted to intentionally walk Alex Bregman Subscribe to the Twins’ Extra Innings newsletter here “It’s probably something I’ve never done before as a manager,” Baldelli said “Putting the winning run on first base is something you’re going to try to avoid virtually every time.” Duran earned his third save of the season when Abreu flew out to left field but it’s much better to face him than Bregman,” Duran said Bailey Ober pitched six strong innings before the rain delay He surrendered seven hits and one run while matching his season high with six strikeouts He’s permitted no more than one run in five of his past six starts BOXSCORE: Twins 4, Red Sox 3 MLB standings  The Twins had only one hit in 10 at-bats with a runner on second or third base — Larnach hit an RBI single three batters after Clemens’ homer — but they did just enough. Byron Buxton led off the fourth inning with a single then forced a wide throw with his slide on what should’ve been a routine double-play grounder from Correa. After Correa was safe at first base, Brooks Lee followed with a double and Ty France drove in a run with a groundout. “In that atmosphere, against a good ballclub, it shows us what we’re made of,” Sands said.

Kody enjoyed his special moment in front of his family and said hitting one at Fenway was "up there for sure" when he was growing up thinking where he'd like to hit one out A fan threw the ball back onto the field and the ball attendant retrieved it in shallow right before tossing it into the stands behind first base He said a friend of his saw where they threw it then that friend went down and got the fan and his family to bring it up to the box to Roger who said he was sending the fan some items "It was so crazy," Debbie said of what the three of them did "It was just great being here and for his first time being able to play." Debbie said the ball was going to "Kody and Jessica."

Even more so this year, now that the left-field dimensions at the ballpark are no longer as cavernous. Sunday afternoon's seesaw slugfest between the Royals and the Orioles became simply ridiculous The two teams combined for 11 home runs -- a franchise-record seven for Kansas City and four from Baltimore -- before the Royals eventually held on for an 11-6 victory to take the set a rematch from last year’s American League Wild Card Series The ball was flying all day through the Baltimore air in a game that featured five lead changes and turned into a home run heavyweight fight "It was kind of like everyone was throwing punches," said O’s second baseman Jackson Holliday The result was a game unlike most have seen despite baseball’s long history "Certainly not often," Royals manager Matt Quatraro said "I don't want to say I never have Camden Yards historyEven when the left-field porch was closer to home plate Camden Yards rarely hosted contests like this The 11 home runs matched the most hit in a game in the history of the ballpark The two previous times that number was reached was a 16-7 Twins win on April 20, 2019, and a 14-7 O’s victory over the Angels on July 1, 1994 both teams squaring balls up like that -- it was a fun game in some respects Royals recordThe most surprising aspect of Kansas City hitting more homers than it has in any previous game is the fact that the club didn’t have many this year When the Royals arrived in Baltimore on Friday "That's fun for us," Garcia said hit our seven home runs for the first time in the franchise .. Two for the first timeGarcia and Holliday each recorded a multihomer game in the big leagues for the first time No Kansas City player had hit multiple homers this season. Garcia became the first since Salvador Perez had two on Aug. 26, 2024 Holliday’s home runs were the eighth and ninth of his young 88-game MLB career He also matched the career high of his dad (former All-Star outfielder Matt Holliday) who had 22 two-homer games over 15 seasons but just trying to put good swings on it," Holliday said "However I feel when I’m feeling smooth and free to deliver a good swing is kind of how I’ve been going about it." Nearly a unicornThere’s never been a game with 10 or more home runs in which all were solo shots Massey hit a two-run blast off Matt Bowman in the ninth to prevent an historical oddity "The vibe in the dugout today was good "I don't think any of us tried to go up there and hit home runs it's just a byproduct of getting a good pitch to hit and being on time." The Orioles were out-powered by the Royals in a series finale that saw a record number of solo home runs hit The Orioles let a series win slip through the fingers as the bullpen fell apart and wasted a rare offensive outburst as part of an 11-6 loss to the Royals on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards This was a big game for the solo home run aficionados out there. The Orioles and Royals combined to hit 11 long balls in this game, 10 of which were with no one on base. Seems like a lot, right? It is! Those 10 solo shots tied a major league record for a single game, according to Sarah Langs the Orioles didn’t hit as many home runs as the visiting Royals Only four of the homers came off of Baltimore bats Jackson Holliday went deep twice in a game for the first time in his career Cedric Mullins and Ryan O’Hearn both left the Yard in the fifth inning with Mullins’ blast tying the game at four runs apiece and then O’Hearn’s putting the good guys up a run But none of that was any match for the previously lethargic Royals offense who teed off on Orioles pitching all afternoon for 11 runs on 17 hits Kyle Gibson made his second start of the season on the mound. He wasn’t great, but it was a huge improvement over his debut. To be fair, just about anything would have been better than what he did against the Yankees last week The veteran righty made it through four innings here coughing up a solo shot to Maikel Garcia in the second and then a two-run single to Drew Waters in the fourth but it was the sort of useful outing the Orioles were hoping to get from Gibson it would have been a fine effort that gave them a chance to win The bullpen just couldn’t get it done behind him The teams traded runs back and forth for more than half of the game Holliday knotted things at one with his first homer in the second inning The Orioles then got their first lead of the day with an RBI double from Adley Rutschman in the third The aforementioned Waters single put the Royals back ahead in the fourth before Holliday tied the game back up in the bottom of the frame Jonathan India got in on the solo action with a homer in the fifth before Mullins and O’Hearn swung things back into the Orioles’ favor That lead lasted mere moments as Garcia led off the sixth inning with his second dong of the day The seventh inning is where the paths started to diverge just a bit Yennier Cano came on and gave up the first two earned runs of his season on back-to-back home runs from Bobby Witt Jr and Vinnie Pasquantino to make it 7-5 Royals Charlie Morton was called on to pitch the eighth inning a somewhat odd decision given that the game was still winnable He hasn’t exactly earned the trust to throw in a game that is within reach That would hold true here as he gave up a homer to Luke Maile and then an RBI double to Witt Jr With every outing it gets harder to justify trotting him out to the mound again Ryan Mountcastle knocked in O’Hearn with a single in the eighth inning to make it 9-6 And then brought the tying run to the plate with no outs and Ramón Laureano all tried to cash in on those baserunners The Orioles had plenty of traffic on the bases But most of their scoring came off of solo homers They went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position The over-reliance of the home run hangs over this offense even on a day where they produced well overall Kansas City added a pair of insurance runs in the ninth inning off of Matt Bowman He gave up the only home run with runners on base when Michael Massey smacked his first dong of the season It was officially over just a few minutes later Gunnar Henderson reached base on a one-out single in the ninth but no other damage could be done as the Orioles were retired This was a rare game where the bullpen really let the Orioles down The only one to get out unscathed was Keegan Akin The rest of them were afflicted by the same home run bug that had bit Royals starter Michael Lorenzen But the visiting bullpen had no such problem and Seranthony Domínguez went unused in a game that felt winnable That hurts a little bit with an off day coming on Monday You can’t blame Brandon Hyde for trusting Bryan Baker and Yennier Cano when he used them It was just one of those games that got away It was nice to see the Orioles have a good day at the plate Seven of the nine starters had at least one hit The 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position does hurt just a tad though The offense needed to make the most of their opportunities when they begin a three-game set in Minnesota against the Twins 5.16 ERA) will pitch against his former organization but there have certainly been a few bright spots through the first month-and-change of the campaign While the team currently owns a 13-20 record and occupies last place in the American League East division one of the club's crucial young players is taking the next step toward stardom the first overall pick in the 2022 MLB draft is turning a corner and showing why his long-term ceiling is as high as it is Holliday earned his first call-up to the Major Leagues in 2024 but things did not go as many envisioned they would Instead of injecting another high-caliber bat into the lineup for the stretch run posting a slash line of .189/.255/.311 and generally looking overmatched against Major League pitching in his 60-game rookie campaign Now at the age of 21 and in his first full MLB season, things are looking different for the Austin Texas native as he's gotten more acclimated to the challenge he's facing On Sunday's game in an 11-6 loss against the Kansas City Royals Holliday put together the first multi-home run game of his career Jackson Holliday (21 years, 151 days old) just became the Orioles’ youngest player with a multi-homer game since Manny Machado (20 years, 82 days) in 2012. pic.twitter.com/PMNEiiI63D In his first plate appearance of the contest Holliday sent a first-pitch four-seam fastball that dotted the inside edge of the plate 374 feet at an exit velocity of 107 miles per hour to tie the game at a run apiece this time on a curveball that caught too much of the plate Holliday walloped this one 422 feet after it left the bat at 109.6 mph In a game in which the Royals broke their franchise record with seven home runs and the teams combined for 11 in total Holliday's second bomb was the hardest and furthest hit home run of the day He became the youngest Oriole to accomplish the feat since Manny Machado hit a pair of blasts less than three months after he turned 20 back in 2012 Sunday's outburst was the continuation of a strong stretch of play from Holliday that should have Orioles fans excited even in a dreary start to the year The infielder is now the owner of a five-game hit streak and he has rocketed his OPS up to .783 after it bottomed out

LOUIS -- Late Friday afternoon, Major League Baseball announced that was the National League Player of the Month for March/April Alonso hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth inning Friday at Busch Stadium, providing the most impactful hit in a game that, at the time, was still close. It didn’t end up that way, with the Mets scoring four times in the fifth and twice in the seventh to secure a 9-3 victory -- their fifth in a row against the Cardinals this season Batting with one out and Juan Soto on second in the fifth inning Alonso launched his eighth homer over the center-field fence finishing 2-for-5 to raise his batting average to a surprisingly robust .345 -- good for second in the NL and well above his previous career high of .271 back in 2022 Alonso is tied for seventh in the NL in home runs and ranks second in RBIs Player of the Month,” teammate Brandon Nimmo said “It’s just another exclamation mark on all the work he’s done this offseason It seems like he’s in an amazing spot to me as Nimmo also homered and Clay Holmes delivered a quality start to snap a two-game skid for the Mets who have not lost three in a row this season But no one contributed a more impactful hit than Alonso whose performance was an extension of what he achieved in March/April: a .343/.475/.657 slash line with seven homers 11 doubles and 28 RBIs -- a month that by most measures was the best of his career $54 million prove-it contract with an opt-out after this season He’s gotten better in nearly every facet of his offensive game offensive success has revolved around his plate approach which this year has also been -- by far -- the best of his career Alonso is walking more often than he’s striking out with a career-high walk rate and a career-low strikeout rate Alonso’s hard-hit rate and barrel percentage are both not only up from last season Even his bat speed has increased from its already elite levels which he says is a product of refining his mechanics and maintaining balance at the plate “It’s not doing something new,” Alonso said “it’s just cleaning up and making things more efficient that makes things like that happen.” he’s managed to maintain his body control in ways he never could in the past which has allowed him to “hold that back side” in his stance and prime himself for success take harder hacks at balls in the zone and “His ability to control the strike zone is probably the best I’ve seen it,” manager Carlos Mendoza said But he gets in trouble when he starts chasing and he’s getting his pitches to hit and he’s not missing them.” Added Nimmo: “When Pete Alonso stays in the zone it’s just going to be really hard to get him out.” The extent to which Alonso can maintain this sort of production will determine two key aspects of his future If Alonso can parlay five hot weeks into the strongest season of his career he may find a much more generous free-agent market awaiting him next season Especially with Soto off to a relatively slow start the Mets have leaned on Alonso to be their top thumper a productive Alonso can ensure that this offense remains one of the game’s best truly feel that it’s ever going to be perfect,” Alonso said “But I just want to strive for that perfection.” then still wasn't: No big deal for steady De La CruzMay 5th CINCINNATI -- The Reds haven't won every game that reaches safely during his streak he’s the one guy I’ve seen that when he walks the impact just starts more," Reds manager Terry Francona said With a fifth-inning walk Sunday, De La Cruz extended his career-high streak of reaching safely to 23 games. But the Reds didn't do enough offensively during a 4-1 loss to the Nationals on Sunday as they dropped the final two games of the three-game series and finished the homestand 3-4 De La Cruz came oh-so-close to continuing his personal streak in a more thrilling fashion As it rained harder in the bottom of the fifth De La Cruz was batting right-handed when he turned on a 1-0 pitch from Nationals lefty starter MacKenzie Gore De La Cruz pulled the ball toward the left-field foul pole the ball appeared to land fair and was ruled a two-run home run Even De La Cruz didn't seem to believe it was fair while carrying his bat as he trotted to first base as celebrational fireworks exploded “I didn’t let myself get too overboard there because I thought it was foul," Francona said I thought it hit the foul pole because I saw it left.” All four umpires gathered and changed the call to a foul ball We knew it was foul," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said "We had to wait for him to cross home plate De La Cruz drew a walk to extend his on-base streakas Gore slipped and fell on the mound during his delivery De La Cruz is batting .287 with three homers and 13 walks he still hasn't consistently caught fire offensively De La Cruz is batting .269 with a .771 OPS He has walked 16 times with 41 strikeouts in 153 plate appearances which is exciting for us," Francona said Quality start for MartinezIn back-to-back outings, Reds starting pitcher has worked a quality start he allowed one run and four hits over six innings with no walks and six strikeouts He gave up a double and a single to open the second inning “I got into a good rhythm with my mechanics and really felt free," said the pitcher who has a 2.03 ERA over his last three starts It was particularly encouraging for the right-hander that his best pitch He threw it 24 times to get 16 swings and seven whiffs – including three strike-three swings “I was throwing it more in the zone today," he said "That’s a credit to where my body is physically I was kind of coming out of it a little too early my last outing -- and really all year I was trying to force it and search for it instead of being a little more free and more athletic.” Stephenson has solid first seriesCincinnati trailed, 1-0, in the bottom of the second inning when hit a 2-2 curveball from Gore for a leadoff homer to left field -- his first of 2025 Since making his season debut on Friday after missing the first 32 games with a left oblique strain Stephenson is 3-for-10 with the homer and two doubles I’ve been seeing the ball a lot better," Stephenson said "Just trying to get pitches I’m supposed to hit and be on time for them.” Ashcraft gives up deciding runsIn his first appearance since he dealt three perfect innings with four strikeouts for a win over the Cardinals on Thursday, Reds reliever took the loss vs Ashcraft gave up three runs in the seventh inning including a one-out solo homer to right field by García “I just think he left a couple of pitches where he didn’t want to and he proved he’s human," Francona said who currently occupies centerfield for the St Scott not only prevented the Cardinals from falling behind a few runs earlier in the game but he also came up with the biggest hit of the night to send the Cards home happy New York Mets slugger Juan Soto sent a rocket to straightaway centerfield where Scott leaped up against the wall and pulled back the ball for the out VICTOR SCOTT II!!!He shows off the hops to rob Juan Soto of a homer!

visiting 'It felt good': Bichette crushes leadoff homer to snap HR skidMay 3rd TORONTO -- watched it fly shedding the weight of 256 at-bats before his trot around the bases That’s how long Bichette had to wait between his last big league home run and the leadoff blast he launched in the Blue Jays’ 5-3 loss to the Guardians on Saturday afternoon though you’ll forgive him for breaking character as he rounded second base at Rogers Centre putting his hands together and looking up at the skies as if to say when asked about getting the first one out of the way He unloaded on a first-pitch fastball in on the hands from Guardians starter Gavin Williams and sent it a Statcast-projected 387 feet to left field to open the scoring It looked like the opening scene of a fourth-straight win for Toronto until a rare bad outing by Yimi García allowed the Guardians to mount a comeback in the ninth Bichette’s homer is about more than this game A classic Bo power swing felt like the final piece of an offensive surge that began on Wednesday when the Blue Jays homered three times to come back from 6-0 and beat the Red Sox in extra innings Anthony Santander and Alejandro Kirk were the heroes in that one Toronto’s big bats shook off varying degrees of slow starts to help their team get back on track “I like our at-bats recently,” said Bichette but we have the ability to be a really good offense And I think we're showing that a little bit.” That explained his .285 average and .675 OPS entering this game There’s nothing wrong with hitting singles Gone were the calf and hand injuries that limited Bichette to 81 games last season and with a clean bill of health came a clean slate Bichette spoke of getting back to his identity especially during the Blue Jays’ 1-5 stretch between Houston and New York Tasked with setting the tone in the leadoff role his aggressiveness flipping from asset to soft spot So it wasn’t totally surprising to find his dad hanging behind the cage earlier this week while Bo took batting practice on the field As hitting coach David Popkins said on a Sportsnet broadcast during Spring Training “the two best hitting coaches for Bo are probably Dante and Bo I just fill in the gaps.” It works when you’re dealing with an “extremely intelligent” player “In the past when I've not felt my best but I think I've been able to do some good things throughout the year so far,” said Bichette The calculated aggression he showed with that first-pitch swing off of Williams is a good illustration of a player doing good things to get in a groove Pitching inside is anything but a new game plan against Bichette He picked up on a good pitch to hit and attacked it It’s just about adjusting to the situation -- another point of pride for the 27-year-old “We’re seeing a guy who’s able to pick you apart I’m a big UFC fan and the guy that I always liked to watch fight is Jon Jones,” Popkins said on the broadcast because you never know how he’s going to attack you.” There’s still so much work to be done -- individually and collectively -- but Bichette is the “sparkplug,” as Kevin Gausman described him Channelsreels-556765Reelsarrow-expand-556766Miguel Rojas' solo

1st and 3rd to lead the Braves in their 4-3 win over the Dodgers Homer madness: Royals blast franchise-record 7 long balls to power series winMay 4th BALTIMORE -- When it rains, it pours. Thankfully for the Royals, it was raining home runs on Sunday at Camden Yards, rather than the predicted precipitation, propelling Kansas City to a 11-6 series-winning victory over the Orioles “That's fun for us,” said hit our seven home runs for the first time in franchise [history] “It was definitely the first game like that we've had all year,” manager Matt Quatraro said we've made so much out of how we've struggled offensively And we keep talking about [how] 'We'll break out of it,' and the guys continue to work and believe and trust each other and trust the hitting guys who recorded the first multihomer game of his career with a big fly to lead off the second inning before adding another leadoff blast in the sixth He’s been one of the most consistent Royals this season It wasn’t those home runs he was most proud of but rather a ninth-inning groundout that moved the runner from first to second That’s the hitting that Garcia makes his career on “I know I hit two homers early in the game run bases and just move the [baserunner] so the guy behind me can bring in the run." There were more firsts to be had, though, as Jonathan India launched his first long ball of the season to lead off the fifth. India, who was acquired via trade from the Reds over the offseason for starter Brady Singer had been waiting for his first home run for 31 games and I just stayed through and hit a good line drive And thank God they have a short fence out there -- I thought it was just a ball in the gap Next to join the home run fun was Bobby Witt Jr who hit back-to-back homers with one out in the seventh -- the Royals’ first back-to-back blasts since the pair did so last August recently called up Luke Maile -- who arrived in Baltimore on Friday while Salvador Perez rested his sore left hip -- launched a solo homer of his own in the eighth the Royals’ sixth of the game to tie the franchise record as Michael Massey followed suit with his own first homer of the season a two-run shot in the ninth inning to set the franchise record and that’s the biggest thing,” Massey said “Especially in this ballpark where we were in the postseason last year and you just kind of have those feelings of -- it's a good reminder of how bad you want to get back there." Kansas City entered the series with 15 homers The Royals’ 25 long balls by the end of the series moved Kansas City into 29th A game like Sunday’s is big for this Royals (19-16) team which knows it has the ability to pick up the usually dominant pitching even if the results haven’t quite been there to start the season sitting at a season-best three games over .500 there is proof that their work is paying off -- and it’s only onward from here “[A game like that] just feels like everyone's -- there's a fight at the bat rack,” Witt said Everyone wants to kind of go up there and just get an at-bat Those are the things that just kind of sparks the lineup – Dalvy Rosario recorded his first career multi-homer game and Janson Junk allowed just one run in 6.0 innings but the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp faltered late on Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Durham Bulls at Durham Bulls Athletic Park The Jumbo Shrimp (21-11) led 4-1 going to the bottom of the seventh Three consecutive singles from Tre’ Morgan Kenny Piper and Tristan Peters started the inning with Peters’ knock bringing home Morgan to make it 4-2 Jamie Westbrook then gave Durham (21-11) its first lead of the day with a three-run home run off Austin Roberts (1-1) to vault the Bulls up 5-4 Montes stole second and then scored on a Peters RBI single to set the score at 6-4 Evan Reifert struck out the side in the ninth to earn his third save The game was scoreless until Rosario went deep with one out in the fifth Junk did not allow his first hit of the game until a Westbrook single with two outs in the fifth Brock Jones followed with an RBI double to knot the score at one Junk ceded just that lone run on two hits in 6.0 innings Jack Winkler singled and stole second to jumpstart the seventh Rosario then launched his second long ball of the game to put the Jumbo Shrimp ahead 4-1 Jacksonville tries to salvage the series in Sunday’s 1:05 p.m. contest. RHP Robinson Piña (2-1, 3.09 ERA) starts for the Jumbo Shrimp against Bulls LHP Ian Seymour (3-1, 2.01 ERA).

On Thursday, it was a catch that helped keep the Tigers close for a 10-4 comeback win. And it came from a player who put center field behind him -- literally -- as a kid until picking it back up as a 12-year Major League veteran a month and a half ago “Just a freak athlete doing his thing,” said Tigers pitcher Casey Mize who delivered two clean innings after the out and earned the win “Timed it up perfectly like he's been out there 10 years doing it the hip surgery that required his season to end last year and gave rookie Trey Sweeney a chance to take over at short he's going to make plays like that,” catcher Dillon Dingler said They might have had more confidence in Báez making the play than Báez did He thought it was going to hit the scoreboard over his head “I thought it was going to hit that little screen that's there,” he said “But I got to the wall pretty good and I had the chance to time it.” The robbery was pure athleticism by a former youth outfielder who’s still learning the intricacies of the position but is already well above average, registering in positive territory for Outs Above Average per Statcast and Defensive Runs Saved per FanGraphs who powered the Angels in front in the third inning with a two-run drive to left off Mize nearly went deep to the opposite field two innings later Báez had a read on it off the bat and easily covered the distance to camp under it but had to reach over the yellow line to corral “I saw him kinda drifting out there and I was just hoping to God that it stayed in the park,” Dingler said “And then I saw him scale the wall and I was like The resulting leap resembled the airborne grabs he made countless times as a shortstop “I think in the outfield you have to run more more distance than just reaction in the infield I was a little positioned that way so I didn't have to go that far It’s a lot more running and a lot more timing But it’s another trick in the El Mago show “All things that you can play outfield for a really long time and never quite get Not bad for a converted infielder who only transitioned to center in Spring Training after the Tigers lost Parker Meadows Matt Vierling and Wenceel Pérez to injuries Báez was only supposed to be an option for an in-game move to cover a few innings there if Hinch wanted to pinch-hit for Ryan Kreidler or make a similar move Báez has become Detroit’s primary center fielder Even with Vierling nearing a Minor League rehab assignment Báez has played well enough to remain in the mix just to be focused on where the wall was and to know when to jump.” “I've never played the outfield,” Torres said “but if I play it at some point in my career Channelsreels-547193Reelsarrow-expand-547194Jackson Holliday's two-homer gameRoyals @ OriolesMay 4 2025 | 00:01:23add-reel-547195Reelsshare-square-2-547196ShareJackson Holliday crushes two solo home runs in addition to a single against the Royals Emerson: Mariners' High-A squad powers up on homer-happy nightMay 3rd There’s an old saying: Good things come in threes That rang true Saturday night as three of the Mariners’ Top 10 prospects (each ranked in the Top 100 overall) homered for High-A Everett Montes -- one of the most powerful prospects in the Minors (65 grade, on the 20-80 scale) -- opened the scoring with an opposite-field shot in the second inning off Giants prospect Cale Lansville It marked Montes' sixth long ball of the year pushing him atop the Northwest League leaderboard now owns a 1.007 OPS and has tallied 14 extra-base hits among his 24 knocks in 2025 missed nearly a full year of action but has quickly re-established himself as a key piece in the Mariners' system added the finishing touch with a solo shot to straightaway center in the seventh Known more for his polished hit tool and plate discipline than raw power the left-handed-hitting shortstop finishes the night with a .258/.365/.371 slash and a career .409 OBP through 117 pro games More from MLB Pipeline:• Top 100 prospects | Stats | Video | Podcast | Complete coverage All three prospects are part of Seattle’s impressive farm system and while it’s unlikely they debut at T-Mobile Park this year nights like Saturday offer a preview of what may lie ahead Channelsreels-552531Reelsarrow-expand-552532Maikel Garcia's two-homer gameRoyals @ OriolesMay 4 2025 | 00:01:03add-reel-552533Reelsshare-square-2-552534ShareMaikel Garcia crushes two home runs and totals three hits in his strong offensive performance against the Orioles Game Recap: Baseball | 5/4/2025 3:10:00 PM Middlebury's Ben Slaughter came up clutch on Sunday smacking a two-run homer to left-center field in the seventh inning to break a 5-5 tie and lead the Panthers to a 9-5 victory over Tufts in game three of the NESCAC Quarterfinals the team moves on to the conference's double-elimination championship weekend set to begin on Friday at Bowdoin Middlebury advances to the double-elimination NESCAC Championship weekend Thanks for visiting Texas A&M's Caden Sorrell recaps go-ahead homer against No. 2 LSU -
