Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run and then pitched five shutout innings, lowering his ERA to 0.73. In an AL East pitching matchup, Trey Yesavage shut down a strong Yankees offense over six innings to earn the win. Cam Schlittler matched him through six innings but struggled in the seventh, allowing the first three batters to reach and walking in a run after an ABS challenge, with a reliever later allowing an inherited runner to score. A Mets right-hander was scratched from a Triple-A start to be available as an option against the Marlins, with strong strikeout production but issues with walks and run prevention. Tampa Bay extended its winning streak with a comeback over the Orioles, taking control in the eighth and holding a four-game division lead.
"Shohei Ohtani got back to two-way stardom on Wednesday against the Padres. He drilled a leadoff home run, which was all the support he needed. Ohtani breezed through five shutout innings, lowering his ERA to 0.73."
"Trey Yesavage silenced an imposing Yankees offense over six innings to secure the win. Cam Schlittler matched him through six frames, but flinched in the seventh inning. He allowed the first three batters to reach, then walked in a run on an ABS challenge. Reliever allowed an inherited runner to score. Yesavage and Schlittler each boast sub-2.00 ERAs with hefty strikeout numbers."
"Mets right-hander was scratched from his Triple-A start on Wednesday. The club wanted to have him as an option this weekend against the Marlins, manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters. The 22-year-old is among the top prospects in the organization. Tong posted strong strikeout numbers in his brief 2025 debut, but struggled with walks and run prevention. It's been a similar story at Syracuse this year."
"Baltimore entered the eighth inning with a 3-1 lead, looking to salvage a game from the series. Anthony Nunez got two outs after a leadoff single, but couldn't escape the frame. Jonathan Aranda came through with a double to tie the game. Richie Palacios followed with an RBI single. Ryan Vilade then stole home to stretch Tampa Bay's lead. The club has won eight of 10 and now holds a four-game lead in the division."
