[May 03, 2024]
Mike Yastrzemski hit a solo home run and the visiting San
Francisco Giants avoided a series sweep by beating the Boston Red
Sox 3-1 on Thursday in the final game of a three-game set.
Yastrzemski's home run was his third of the season and came hours
after he was visited in the clubhouse by his grandfather and Red Sox
legend, Carl Yastrzemski. It was Mike Yastrzemski's second career
home run in six games at Fenway Park after his grandfather hit 237
of his 452 home runs at Fenway.
The Giants broke a 1-1 tie by scoring twice in the seventh. Patrick
Bailey singled, took third on Matt Chapman's single and scored on a
single by Thairo Estrada. Nick Ahmed added a sacrifice fly that
drove in Chapman to make it 3-1. Both runs were charged to Zack
Kelly (0-1), while Ryan Walker (3-2) earned the win for the Giants
with a scoreless sixth inning.
The victory ended Boston's four-game winning streak. The Red Sox won
the first two games of the series 4-0 and 6-2.
Mets 7, Cubs 6 (11 innings)
Francisco Lindor came off the bench to spark a sixth-inning comeback
with a two-run double, then delivered a game-ending two-run double
in the 11th inning as New York edged Chicago to split a four-game
series.
The Cubs' Nick Madrigal had a go-ahead RBI double in the top of the
11th, but Mets right fielder Starling Marte threw out Madrigal
trying to score on a two-out hit by Mike Tauchman before the Mets
came back against Daniel Palencia (0-1). Harrison Bader was hit by a
pitch leading off the 11th inning before Lindor hit a 3-2 pitch the
opposite way to the left-field corner. Automatic runner Brett Baty
scored the tying run and Bader slid in with the winning run as
shortstop Dansby Swanson bobbled the relay.
The Mets trailed 4-0 and were no-hit through four innings by Cubs
rookie Ben Brown before starting their comeback. Christopher Morel
hit a three-run homer for the Cubs.
Orioles 7, Yankees 2
Ryan Mountcastle and Jorge Mateo each drove in two runs and
accounted for two of Baltimore's three solo home runs as Baltimore
defeated visiting New York.
Ryan McKenna also homered for the Orioles, who won three of four
games in the series. Jordan Westburg ripped a two-run triple.
Baltimore right-handed starter Kyle Bradish, who suffered a sprained
UCL in mid-February at the beginning of spring training, made a
strong season debut with 4 2/3 innings allowing one run and striking
out five.
Marlins 5, Rockies 4 (10 innings)
Jesus Sanchez's two-out single in the bottom of the 10th drove in
Luis Arraez from second, and host Miami beat Colorado to sweep the
three-game series.

Josh Bell homered, Arraez had two hits and Burch
Smith (1-0) picked up the victory for the Marlins.
Jacob Stallings homered and singled and Brendan Rodgers also had two
hits for the Rockies, who have trailed in all 31 games this season.
Rangers 6, Nationals 0
Nathan Eovaldi pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings to help lead Texas
over Washington in Arlington, Texas.
Eovaldi (2-2) allowed just two hits and two walks and struck out
eight batters. After 92 pitches, Eovaldi was removed due to an
apparent lower-body injury, but he led the Rangers to their third
win in its past four games.
Jonah Heim went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs and Travis
Jankowski plated a pair of runs for Texas, while the Nationals
managed just four hits, including doubles by Luis Garcia and CJ
Abrams.
Astros 8, Guardians 2
Jon Singleton lofted a two-run homer that flipped the scoreboard in
the sixth inning as Houston won the rubber match of its three-game
series with visiting Cleveland.
Singleton, who added a sacrifice fly in the seventh that capped a
five-run frame, finished 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs. Jose
Altuve finished 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored and rookie
Spencer Arrighetti worked a career-high 5 2/3 innings, allowing two
runs.
Guardians starter Logan Allen (3-2) allowed three runs (two earned)
on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings.
Andres Gimenez and Jose Ramirez each collected an RBI for Cleveland.
