Williamson (2-1), a Fairmont, Minn., native, threw 5 1/3 innings and allowed three hits and one run. Suarez had two of Cincinnati’s four hits. Emilio Pagan tossed a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth to register his sixth save.

Minnesota starter Joe Ryan (2-2) gave up three hits and two runs (one earned) in six innings. Josh Bell went 2-for-4 for the Twins, who only had five hits.

Orioles 6, Guardians 4

Jeremiah Jackson hit a three-run homer off Connor Brogdon as part of a six-run eighth inning, rallying Baltimore past host Cleveland.

Jackson’s fifth home run of the season came with two outs, capping a wild turn of events that saw the Orioles score six times off relievers Shawn Armstrong, Erik Sabrowski and Brogdon on two hits, three walks and a hit by pitch. Cleveland had taken a 4-0 lead in the seventh on Daniel Schneemann’s second career grand slam.

Rico Garcia (2-0) was awarded the win for working a clean eighth inning while Ryan Helsley earned his sixth save in six opportunities. Sabrowski (0-1) allowed two runs and recorded two outs.

Braves 9, Phillies 0

Martin Perez tossed six scoreless innings and Austin Riley hit a pair of opposite-field home runs as visiting Atlanta smashed Philadelphia.

After getting designated for assignment and re-signed by the Braves earlier in the week, Perez (1-1) allowed just four hits. Jose Suarez earned a three-inning save. Dominic Smith’s solo shot in the third made it 7-0, and Michael Harris II and Riley tacked on homers in the eighth and ninth.

The Braves have won seven of nine while the Phillies have dropped seven of nine. Philadelphia managed only six hits, including three by Bryce Harper and two by J.T. Realmuto. Taijuan Walker (1-3) was charged with seven runs and seven hits in four frames.

Cubs 12, Mets 4

Moises Ballesteros hit a three-run homer to cap a four-run first inning for host Chicago, which downed free-falling New York.

The Cubs have scored at least 10 runs in each of their last three games, all victories — the longest streak for the club since Sept. 13-15, 2019. The Mets have lost nine straight, a span in which they’ve been outscored 56-16.

Chicago’s Nico Hoerner went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer as he raised his average to .342. Ian Happ also hit a two-run homer, while Ballesteros, Seiya Suzuki and Michael Busch had two hits apiece. Edward Cabrera (2-0) gave up three runs on eight hits over six innings.

Pirates 5, Rays 1

Bubba Chandler allowed one run over six innings and host Pittsburgh totaled 11 hits to secure a victory over Tampa Bay.

Chandler (1-1) gave up three hits to the Rays, who had a six-game winning streak snapped. The Pirates’ Oneil Cruz hit a two-run homer and Marcell Ozuna, Spencer Horwitz and Brandon Lowe each had three hits. Lowe had two doubles and two RBIs against his former team.

Junior Caminero drove in the Rays’ lone run in the sixth with a game-tying, two-out single. Nick Martinez (0-1) threw 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on eight hits.

Giants 10, Nationals 5

Heliot Ramos hit a three-run homer, Drew Gilbert and Casey Schmitt added solo shots and San Francisco beat host Washington.

Matt Chapman had three hits and drove in three runs for the Giants, who have won two straight. Logan Webb (2-2) went six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. After scoring three or fewer runs in five straight games, the Giants jumped in front with a six-run second inning.

James Wood and Daylen Lile homered and Jose Tena had three hits for the Nationals. Washington’s Zack Littell (0-2) gave up eight runs on 11 hits over four innings.

Yankees 4, Royals 2

Ryan McMahon hit a tiebreaking two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning and New York earned a victory over visiting Kansas City.

Ben Rice, who hit a two-run shot in the fourth, kept the inning going with a two-out single, and McMahon snapped a 2-2 tie with his shot off Alex Lange (0-1). New York’s Camilo Doval (1-0) had allowed a tying homer by Vinnie Pasquantino. David Bednar notched his sixth save.

Pasquantino also had an RBI groundout for the Royals, who have lost five straight and eight of 10. Starter Michael Wacha allowed two runs on three hits in six innings.

Brewers 7, Marlins 5 (10 innings)

Garrett Mitchell drove in three, including a two-run double in the top of the 10th inning, as Milwaukee defeated host Miami.

The Brewers, who have won three straight games, scored three times in the 10th against Calvin Faucher (1-2). Abner Uribe (1-0) tossed one scoreless inning. Trevor Megill handled the bottom of the 10th, yielding one run, for his fourth save. Jake Bauers went 3-for-4 and scored three runs.

Brewers starter Coleman Crow (two runs, 5 1/3 innings) made his major league debut, and he took a no-decision despite leaving the game with a lead. Miami’s Otto Lopez hit a two-run homer, a triple and a single. Agustin Ramirez added a game-tying double in the eighth.

Cardinals 9, Astros 4

Nolan Gorman clubbed a three-run homer in the top of the seventh inning to give St. Louis plenty of breathing room as it claimed a win at Houston.

Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy (2-2) surrendered three homers but just those three runs. He allowed five hits across five innings. Ivan Herrera homered and drove in three.

Christian Vazquez and Yordano Alvarez went deep for the Astros. Peter Lambert (0-1) gave up four runs on seven hits and struck out eight in five innings.

Dodgers 7, Rockies 1

Max Muncy homered twice and hit an RBI double as Los Angeles defeated Colorado on a chilly night in Denver.

Shohei Ohtani had two hits to extend his on-base streak to 49 games, the fifth-longest run in Dodgers history. Tyler Glasnow (2-0) allowed just two hits and a run in seven strong innings. Will Smith and Freddie Freeman had two hits apiece for Los Angeles, which has won four in a row.

Mickey Moniak doubled and scored the lone run for the Rockies, who have lost seven of their past eight games. Tomoyuki Sugano (1-1) allowed five runs on nine hits in four innings.

Diamondbacks 6, Blue Jays 3

Nolan Arenado homered for the third time in four games and drove in two, Michael Soroka won his fourth straight start, and Arizona beat Toronto in Phoenix.

Soroka (4-0) gave up two runs and five hits in a season-high seven innings. He has one fewer win this season than in the previous five years combined, when he missed extended time with Achilles tendon, arm and shoulder injuries.

Ketel Marte had two hits and scored twice and Corbin Carroll and Jose Fernandez had run-scoring singles for the Diamondbacks, who have won nine of 12. Toronto’s Eric Lauer (1-3) gave up three runs and five hits in three innings.

White Sox 9, Athletics 2

Munetaka Murakami launched a towering grand slam and Davis Martin tossed seven solid innings to help Chicago trounce the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif.

Murakami and Andrew Benintendi (one RBI) each had three hits and two runs as Chicago matched its highest-scoring output of the season. The White Sox had scored the second-fewest runs in the majors (60) entering the contest. Martin (3-1) gave up one run and three hits in seven innings.

Nick Kurtz and Andy Ibanez drove in runs for the A’s, who lost their second straight game. Aaron Civale (2-1) allowed five runs and 11 hits over 4 2/3 innings.

Rangers 5, Mariners 0

Brandon Nimmo homered leading off the game and six pitchers combined for a six-hitter and Texas improved to 4-0 this season against host Seattle.

Reliever Gavin Collyer (1-0), a rookie right-hander, pitched 1 1/3 innings to earn his first major league victory in just his second appearance. Texas has won four of its last six, while Seattle has lost four in a row.

Nimmo jumped on a 2-0 fastball from Logan Gilbert (1-3) in the first, lining it over the right field fence. Rangers starter Jacob deGrom didn’t allow a run, but an elevated pitch count (88) knocked him out after four innings.

Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman could feature in Saturday’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace, manager Arne Slot said as he looks to manage a goalkeeping crisis.

The 29-year-old made his first Liverpool appearance in last weekend’s 2-1 Merseyside derby win over Everton after Giorgi Mamardashvili, who had been playing in place of the injured Alisson Becker, was forced off in the second half.

“Giorgi will definitely not be available and not for the upcoming weeks,” Slot told reporters.

“Ali is close to returning to play. Let’s see if Saturday comes too early. That leaves Freddie Woodman as an option, who is definitely fit.”

Slot said Liverpool’s decision to sign an experienced third-choice goalkeeper was made with such scenarios in mind.

“Usually you don’t need him that much, but there could be situations when one is injured and one is suspended — or in this case, more than one is unavailable,” the 47-year-old said.

ALSO READ: Manchester City leapfrogs Arsenal to top Premier League table; Burnley relegated

“He has the experience to play at Premier League level, but definitely at Championship level.

“He’s ready for it, but it will always be helpful if the fans support him.”

Slot also confirmed that defender Joe Gomez is available again after missing the derby through injury, while midfielder Wataru Endo is making good progress and could return before the end of the season.

Despite discussions already under way about next season and Slot’s future, he said his focus remains firmly on the short term and Liverpool’s push for a top-five finish.

“Margins are small. One or two results can make a big difference. Two weeks ago we weren’t five points clear of sixth place and two results later we are,” he said.

“It can also go both ways, so my full focus is on Palace.”

Liverpool has faced Palace three times this season without a win, and Slot highlighted the challenge posed by Oliver Glasner’s side.

“They have a very good manager who is able to bring a lot of discipline to that team. It’s really hard to create chances against them,” he said.

“They have conceded the second-fewest goals after Arsenal, so that tells you a lot.”

Liverpool is fifth on 55 points and hosts 13th-placed Palace on Saturday as it continues its push for Champions League qualification.

Deadspin | Behind Bo Bichette, Mets put mini win streak on line vs. Rockies Apr 23, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets shortstop Bo Bichette (19) hits a three-run double during the eighth inning against the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Bo Bichette seems to like batting leadoff for the New York Mets. Good thing, because the Mets are going to be without their usual leadoff hitter for a while. Bichette and the Mets will look to continue building a winning streak Friday night when New York hosts the Colorado Rockies in the opener of a three-game series. Freddy Peralta (1-2, 4.05 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against the Rockies’ Michael Lorenzen (1-2, 7.48) in a battle of right-handers. The Mets and Rockies were on the opposite ends of 10-8 scores as the host team in the rubber matches of three-game series Thursday. New York outlasted the Minnesota Twins, while Colorado fell to the San Diego Padres. Bichette went 3-for-5 on Thursday, when his three-run eighth-inning double snapped a 7-7 tie and helped the Mets avoid an ugly loss. New York, which ended a 12-game losing streak on Wednesday, squandered a 7-2 lead on Thursday. The Mets then nearly frittered away the advantage again in the ninth, when Devin Williams gave up an RBI single to Tristan Gray before he ended the game by striking out Trevor Larnach with the potential tying run in scoring position. The Mets won the same day Francisco Lindor, the team’s regular leadoff man, went on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left calf sustained Wednesday night. “It’s hard to (establish) a timetable,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said regarding Lindor’s absence, “but we do know that he’s going to be down for a while.” Fortunately for the Mets, Bichette appears to be warming up after a slow start. The 28-year-old third baseman, who signed with New York in January, went 1-for-4 as the leadoff hitter on Wednesday, when Mendoza shuffled the lineup and batted Lindor fourth. The three hits Thursday tied a season high for Bichette, who has collected a hit in seven of his past eight games to raise his average to .238 — only the third time this season that he ended a game batting higher than .230. “I don’t know if it has anything to do with (being first in the lineup),” said Bichette, a career .282 hitter when batting leadoff. “I felt good today.” The Rockies appeared to be on the verge of a feel-good victory on Thursday and their second straight winning homestand to start the season when they carried an 8-5 lead into the ninth inning. However, closer Victor Vodnik, who got the final out of the eighth, gave up five runs in the ninth, including Gavin Sheets’ go-ahead three-run homer. Colorado finished 3-4 on a homestand that included a split of a four-game series with the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies, who went 4-2 on their first homestand of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros, had a 25-56 home mark last year, when they finished a franchise-worst 43-119. The Rockies are 10-16 this season, which puts them ahead of only the Mets (9-16) and the Philadelphia Phillies (8-17) in the National League but well ahead of the pace they set last year, when Colorado didn’t record its 10th win until June 2. “It’s been a year so far with a lot of highs and some lows,” said Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak, who went 4-for-5 with two homers on Thursday. “Now it’s just going to be about finding that consistent high and figuring out ways to win baseball games.” Peralta took the defeat in his most recent start, when he gave up three runs over 5 2/3 innings as the Mets fell 4-2 to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. He is 4-2 with a 3.49 ERA in eight career games (seven starts) against the Rockies. Lorenzen didn’t factor into the decision Sunday after allowing three runs over five innings in the Rockies’ 9-6 win over the Dodgers. He owns a 2-1 record and a 2.61 ERA with two saves in 16 games (four starts) vs. the Mets. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Bichette #Mets #put #mini #win #streak #line #RockiesApr 23, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets shortstop Bo Bichette (19) hits a three-run double during the eighth inning against the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field.

The Mets and Rockies were on the opposite ends of 10-8 scores as the host team in the rubber matches of three-game series Thursday. New York outlasted the Minnesota Twins, while Colorado fell to the San Diego Padres.

Bichette went 3-for-5 on Thursday, when his three-run eighth-inning double snapped a 7-7 tie and helped the Mets avoid an ugly loss.

New York, which ended a 12-game losing streak on Wednesday, squandered a 7-2 lead on Thursday. The Mets then nearly frittered away the advantage again in the ninth, when Devin Williams gave up an RBI single to Tristan Gray before he ended the game by striking out Trevor Larnach with the potential tying run in scoring position.

The Mets won the same day Francisco Lindor, the team’s regular leadoff man, went on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left calf sustained Wednesday night.

“It’s hard to (establish) a timetable,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said regarding Lindor’s absence, “but we do know that he’s going to be down for a while.”


Fortunately for the Mets, Bichette appears to be warming up after a slow start. The 28-year-old third baseman, who signed with New York in January, went 1-for-4 as the leadoff hitter on Wednesday, when Mendoza shuffled the lineup and batted Lindor fourth.

The three hits Thursday tied a season high for Bichette, who has collected a hit in seven of his past eight games to raise his average to .238 — only the third time this season that he ended a game batting higher than .230.

“I don’t know if it has anything to do with (being first in the lineup),” said Bichette, a career .282 hitter when batting leadoff. “I felt good today.”

The Rockies appeared to be on the verge of a feel-good victory on Thursday and their second straight winning homestand to start the season when they carried an 8-5 lead into the ninth inning. However, closer Victor Vodnik, who got the final out of the eighth, gave up five runs in the ninth, including Gavin Sheets’ go-ahead three-run homer.

Colorado finished 3-4 on a homestand that included a split of a four-game series with the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Rockies, who went 4-2 on their first homestand of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros, had a 25-56 home mark last year, when they finished a franchise-worst 43-119.

The Rockies are 10-16 this season, which puts them ahead of only the Mets (9-16) and the Philadelphia Phillies (8-17) in the National League but well ahead of the pace they set last year, when Colorado didn’t record its 10th win until June 2.

“It’s been a year so far with a lot of highs and some lows,” said Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak, who went 4-for-5 with two homers on Thursday. “Now it’s just going to be about finding that consistent high and figuring out ways to win baseball games.”

Peralta took the defeat in his most recent start, when he gave up three runs over 5 2/3 innings as the Mets fell 4-2 to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. He is 4-2 with a 3.49 ERA in eight career games (seven starts) against the Rockies.

Lorenzen didn’t factor into the decision Sunday after allowing three runs over five innings in the Rockies’ 9-6 win over the Dodgers. He owns a 2-1 record and a 2.61 ERA with two saves in 16 games (four starts) vs. the Mets.
