The Yankees broke their losing streak on Tuesday, besting Baltimore 6-2 thanks to a five-run third inning. Trent Grisham punctuated the rally with a three-run blast off of Trevor Rogers, who has looked nowhere close to the dominant form he displayed for the O’s in 2025. The rest of the league was back in action after most were traveling on Monday, so we’ve got a full slate of games to cover today.
Tampa Bay Rays (28-13) 7, Toronto Blue Jays (18-24) 6 (10 innings)
For a while, this looked like a one-sided affair. The Rays built up a 5-0 lead midway through the seventh
inning thanks to a flurry of hits early, a wild pitch with a runner on third in the sixth, and a solo shot from Ryan Vilade in the seventh. Shane McClanahan was keeping Toronto under wraps on the other side, allowing just a single hit through five innings of work before Casey Legumina came in and got around a leadoff hit in the sixth. Legumina stayed in for the bottom of the seventh, however, and the game flipped on its head in a hurry.
Ernie Clement got aboard on a single, but it came between a flyout and strikeout to put Toronto an out away from wasting one of the few chances they’d gotten to this point. Instead, they rattled off a double, walk, single, and another double to plate four runs, and then a fielding error allowed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to reach and the tying run to cross the plate.
With nothing going in the eighth or ninth, the Rays entered extra innings and promptly retook the lead thanks to a Taylor Walls single. After a walk and wild pitch moved the runners into scoring position, Jonathan Aranda lifted a sacrifice fly to give them a huge insurance run. The Jays managed to score their ghost runner on a sac fly in the bottom of the 10th, but could manage only a walk against Garrett Cleavinger as he secured the save.
Other Games
Philadelphia Phillies (20-22) 2, Boston Red Sox (17-24) 1: The first two innings brought all of the offense Philly would need, as Kyle Schwarber hit a solo shot in the first and Bryson Stott crushed an RBI ground-rule double in the second. Boston struggled to find an answer against Zack Wheeler, getting shutout until the seventh inning when a trio of singles brought home one run. With runners still on the corners Wheeler shut the door, getting Marcelo Mayer to ground out. The Sox then threatened against Jhoan Duran in the ninth, getting two aboard with one out, but Duran recovered by striking out Ceddanne Rafaela and getting Mayer to ground it to second.
Cleveland Guardians (23-21) 3, Los Angeles Angels (16-27) 2: The Angels managed to double the Guardians’ hits, but Cleveland made the most of their opportunities: Angel Martínez hit a solo shot in the third inning, Patrick Bailey drove in a run in the fifth on a grounder, and Brayan Rocchio lifted a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The Angels cut into the lead with a sac fly and solo shot of their own in the sixth and eighth innings respectively, but they went down in order in the ninth.
New York Mets (16-25) 10, Detroit Tigers (19-23) 2: The Tigers briefly held a 2-0 lead in this game, getting a Dillon Dingler solo shot and a sac fly in the second inning. That was short-lived, as the Mets put up runs in every inning except the first and fifth as they scored 10 unanswered to pull off a blowout win.
Seattle Mariners (21-22) 10, Houston Astros (16-27) 2: The Mariners’ quest to pull back to .500 is nearly complete after they got a huge win on Tuesday. Cal Raleigh broke out of his extended slump with a 2-for-4 night, scoring three runs, and Randy Arozarena and Dominic Canzone both launched homers to lead the way for the offense. Bryan Woo tossed six innings of two-run ball for Seattle, striking out nine while allowing four hits and a pair of walks.
Texas Rangers (20-22) 7, Arizona Diamondbacks (20-21) 4: Joc Pederson got the Rangers off to a strong start, leading off with a homer, and the hits kept coming from there. Texas added one in the second and third, and blew the game open with a four-run fifth jumpstarted by a Brandon Nimmo triple. Arizona didn’t go down quietly, rallying for three runs in the ninth inning with three-straight walks to start the inning, but they couldn’t get runs across without using up outs in the process.
