The Angels recorded the win, their third in the past five games,
despite sitting out star Shohei Ohtani, who got spiked atop the
left foot in a freak accident during their Sunday loss in
Seattle.
Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said holding out Ohtani was
done in order to rest him for his scheduled pitching start
Tuesday rather than anything to do with his foot injury.
Suarez (4-4) worked seven innings, allowing two hits and two
walks while striking out eight. Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera
(second save) each threw a perfect inning. Irvin (6-9) gave up
one run on five hits and no walks with six strikeouts in eight
innings.
Giants 1, Padres 0
Left-hander Alex Wood and three relievers combined to shut out
the Padres as visiting San Francisco earned a shutout win in San
Diego in the opener of a three-game series.
Wood (8-9) gave up three hits and no walks with five strikeouts
over 6 1/3 innings. He was followed by John Brebbia, Tyler
Rogers and closer Camilo Doval, who worked a perfect ninth for
his 15th save.
Blake Snell (4-6) gave up the game's only run on six hits. He
surrendered two walks and tallied eight strikeouts in 5 2/3
innings. The Padres have been shut out in back-to-back games and
have lost five in a row.
Yankees 9, Mariners 4
Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 44th home run and Josh
Donaldson went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a homer and three RBIs
as New York snapped a season-worst, five-game losing streak with
a victory against host Seattle.
Judge hit a 425-foot shot to straightaway center field leading
off the ninth inning off Ryan Borucki. Yankees right-hander
Jameson Taillon (11-2) went seven innings for the victory. He
allowed three runs on three hits, with three walks and six
strikeouts.
Mitch Haniger and Cal Raleigh homered for Seattle, which took
two of three games from the Yankees in the Bronx last week.
Orioles 7, Blue Jays 4
Ramon Urias hit a three-run home run, right-hander Jordan Lyles
pitched 5 2/3 innings and Baltimore defeated visiting Toronto.
Anthony Santander, Ryan Mountcastle and Austin Hays added solo
home runs for the Orioles in the opener of a three-game series.
Cavan Biggio and Matt Chapman each hit solo homers for the Blue
Jays. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled in the fifth to extend his
hitting streak to 19 games.
Cubs 6, Nationals 3
Keegan Thompson allowed one run over six solid innings as
Chicago handed visiting Washington its sixth consecutive defeat
with a win.
Rookies Nelson Velazquez and Christopher Morel homered in the
third inning for the Cubs, who have won six of their past seven
home games. Velazquez recorded his first three-hit game while
Morel and Willson Contreras each had two hits. Thompson (9-5)
yielded just Luke Voit's homer and four other hits while
striking out three without a walk to post his second win in
three starts.
Joey Meneses clubbed a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the eighth
for the Nationals, who took their sixth consecutive road defeat.
Mets 5, Reds 1
Starling Marte provided an early lead with a first-inning,
two-run homer and starter Chris Bassitt allowed one unearned run
over eight strong innings to lead New York past visiting
Cincinnati.
Bassitt (9-7) scattered eight singles, struck out eight and
walked one in posting his ninth straight start of at least six
innings, including eight quality starts. Former Reds outfielder
Tyler Naquin, facing his former team for the first time since a
deadline trade, continued his hot hitting for the Mets with a
two-run triple in the eighth inning.
Right-hander Justin Dunn (0-1) made his Reds debut after getting
recalled from Triple-A Louisville for Monday's start. Dunn,
acquired by the Reds on March 14 in the deal that sent Jesse
Winker and Eugenio Suarez to Seattle, was making his first start
in the major leagues since June 17, 2021.
Diamondbacks 3, Pirates 0
Zac Gallen gave up three hits in seven scoreless innings to help
Arizona record a victory over Pittsburgh in Phoenix.
Gallen (7-2) struck out eight and walked two. Ketel Marte
stroked a two-run single in the eighth inning as the
Diamondbacks won for the fourth time in their past six games.
Joe Mantiply struck out two in a perfect eighth, and Ian Kennedy
worked the ninth for his seventh save. Arizona's first run
scored when Alek Thomas grounded into a double play in the sixth
off Manny Banuelos (0-1).
