Deadspin | MLB roundup: Mets eke out win over Twins, end 12-game skid Apr 22, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets relief pitcher Luke Weaver (30) reacts after defeating the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Mark Vientos redeemed himself for an earlier baserunning miscue by delivering the tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and the host New York Mets snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. The losing streak was the longest for the Mets since a 12-game skid from Aug. 10-23, 2002. However, the much-needed victory may have been costly for New York, which lost shortstop Francisco Lindor due to left calf tightness after he scored from first on Francisco Alvarez’s double in the fourth inning. Lindor, who was 2-for-2 with an RBI infield single in the first, was injured the same night Juan Soto returned from a 15-game absence caused by a strained right calf. The Mets won their first three games after Soto was injured on April 3 before beginning their losing streak. Victor Caratini lofted a game-tying sacrifice fly in the fourth for the Twins, who have lost five of their past six. Byron Buxton knotted the game again with a solo homer in the sixth. Cubs 7, Phillies 2 Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and Seiya Suzuki connected on a two-run homer, helping Chicago beat visiting Philadelphia for its eighth straight win. Ian Happ also drove in two runs and Alex Bregman tallied three hits for the Cubs. Ben Brown (1-0) tossed 2 1/3 scoreless frames in relief, striking out five. Taijuan Walker (1-4) surrendered five runs (four earned) across four innings as the Phillies dropped their eighth straight game. It’s Philadelphia’s longest skid since a nine-gamer in September 2018. Diamondbacks 11, Padres 7 Ildemaro Vargas hit two homers and drove in a career-high five runs and Arizona withstood Munetaka Murakami, who homered in a fifth straight game, to hold off Chicago in Phoenix. Murakami went 3-for-5, and he became the fastest player in White Sox history to reach 10 homers, doing it in 24 games. He also joined Shohei Ohtani to become the second Japanese-born player to homer in five straight games. Nolan Arenado had four hits, including a homer, scored three runs and drove in three for the Diamondbacks, who evened the three-game series. Colson Montgomery homered for the fourth consecutive game and Miguel Vargas went deep in a third straight for the White Sox. Angels 7, Blue Jays 3 Nolan Schanuel homered and also had a three-run, go-ahead double and Jose Soriano continued his historic start to the season with five shutout innings as the Los Angeles snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over Toronto in Anaheim, Calif. Soriano extended his scoreless inning streak to 24 2/3 innings while lowering his ERA to 0.24, the lowest ERA in a pitcher’s first six starts to a season since earned runs became official in both leagues (1913) with a minimum of 30 innings pitched. Mike Trout homered, walked twice and scored twice for the Angels. Ernie Clement went 3-for-5 with an RBI for the Blue Jays, whose three-game winning streak ended. Tommy Nance (0-2) allowed two runs in 1 1/3 innings of relief. Yankees 4, Red Sox 1 Amed Rosario had four RBIs in just two plate appearances and Max Fried pitched eight shutout innings, leading New York to a win at Boston. Rosario’s three-run shot in the first inning was all that New York needed, as Fried (3-1) allowed just three hits. The Yankees were one strike away from pitching a third consecutive shutout for the first time since 1962 before Jarren Duran hit an RBI single in the ninth. Duran had three hits and doubled twice. Ranger Suarez (1-2) gave up four runs through 4 2/3 innings, and Eduardo Rivera pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings in his big-league debut. Mariners 5, Athletics 4 Josh Naylor singled home Cal Raleigh with two outs in the bottom of the ninth as host Seattle defeated the Athletics to salvage the finale of a three-game series. The A’s tied the score in the top of the inning on Nick Kurtz’s one-out homer to straightaway center off Mariners closer Andres Munoz (3-2), who blew the save opportunity but ended up getting the victory. Raleigh, who homered for a third consecutive game, sparked the winning rally with a two-out single to center. Raleigh and Naylor each went 3-for-5 as the Mariners collected a season-high 14 hits. Astros 2, Guardians 0 Yordan Alvarez had three hits, including a two-run homer in the first inning, and Peter Lambert threw six shutout innings as visiting Houston beat Cleveland in the decisive game of a three-game series. Lambert (1-1) allowed three hits while striking out eight for the Astros, who had lost five of six and surrendered at least seven runs in four of those defeats. Chase DeLauter had two of the five hits for the Guardians, who had won three of four. Tanner Bibee (0-3) permitted two runs and five hits over six innings. Giants 3, Dodgers 0 Shohei Ohtani pitched six shutout innings, but Patrick Bailey belted a tiebreaking three-run homer off reliever Jack Dreyer in the seventh, lifting San Francisco to a shutout victory over visiting Los Angeles. Tyler Mahle (1-3) tossed seven innings and teamed with two relievers on a four-hitter, giving the Giants a second straight low-scoring win over the two-time defending champs. Ohtani and Mahle matched zeros for six innings before the Dodgers star was pulled after having thrown 91 pitches. He has pitched exactly six innings in each of his four starts this season, and he owns a National League-leading 0.38 ERA. Braves 8, Nationals 6 Michael Harris II hit two home runs, Matt Olson smacked a three-run shot and Atlanta rallied from an early three-run deficit to claim a win at Washington. Drake Baldwin homered for a second straight game for the Braves, who have earned at least a split of the four-game series. Dylan Lee (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning, and Robert Suarez handled the ninth for his second save. James Wood homered for the second straight game for the Nationals. Daylen Lile hit a three-run homer and Joey Wiemer had a pinch-hit solo shot. Zack Littell (0-3) surrendered eight runs (six earned) over six innings. Pirates 8, Rangers 4 Nick Gonzales beat the tag at home plate and scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning as Pittsburgh picked up a win over Texas in Arlington, Texas. Gonzales came home on pinch hitter Jake Mangum’s slow roller to third base. Jalen Beeks then replaced Cole Winn (1-1) on the mound, and Oneil Cruz greeted the new reliever with a three-run homer. The ninth-inning rally allowed Pittsburgh to even the three-game series. Josh Jung had a two-run homer and a single for the Rangers. Jack Leiter allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits over five innings. Marlins 4, Cardinals 1 Janson Junk allowed just one hit and a walk over five innings, and Jakob Marsee drove in a pair as Miami beat visiting St. Louis to claim the deciding contest of a three-game series. Junk (1-2) pitched efficiently, needing just 56 pitches to go five. Javier Sanoja had his third three-hit game of the season, getting three singles in four at-bats to lead a 12-hit attack, all singles, for the Marlins. Kyle Leahy (2-3) gave up eight hits and walked three over five innings for the Cardinals. Rays 6, Reds 1 Nick Martinez pitched eight strong innings and Junior Caminero homered to lead Tampa Bay past Cincinnati in St. Petersburg, Fla. Martinez (1-1) allowed a run on five hits against his former team as the Rays averted a sweep in the three-game series. Yandy Diaz finished 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI. The Reds had their five-game winning streak snapped as Brandon Williamson (2-2) gave up five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. Orioles 8, Royals 6 Coby Mayo belted a three-run homer to highlight a sixth-run sixth inning, fueling Baltimore to a victory at Kansas City. Pete Alonso also homered as the Orioles won the rubber match of the three-game series. Chris Bassitt (1-2) allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings, and Anthony Nunez pitched a scoreless inning for his first career save. Kyle Isbel crushed a two-run homer and Vinnie Pasquantino and Carter Jansen also went deep for the Royals, who have lost nine of their past 10 games. Michael Wacha (2-1) yielded six runs in 5 1/3 innings. Tigers 5, Brewers 2 Spencer Torkelson hit his first homer of the season, a two-run shot, and Kerry Carpenter added a solo blast as host Detroit downed Milwaukee. In six-plus innings, the Tigers’ Casey Mize (2-1) gave up one run and three hits. Kenley Jansen escaped a ninth-inning jam to record his sixth save. Brewers opener DL Hall tossed two scoreless innings before Chad Patrick (1-1) allowed four runs and six hits in four innings. Rockies 8, Padres 3 Hunter Goodman homered and doubled twice, Mickey Moniak also had two doubles, and Colorado beat San Diego in Denver. TJ Rumfield, Jake McCarthy and Willi Castro had two hits each to back a strong outing by Colorado starter Tomoyuki Sugano (2-1), who allowed one run on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. Luis Campusano homered among his three hits and Xander Bogaerts had two hits for the Padres, who had won 11 of their previous 12 games. Walker Buehler (1-2) was tagged for four runs on eight hits in 2 2/3 innings. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #MLB #roundup #Mets #eke #win #Twins #12game #skid

Josh Naylor singled home Cal Raleigh with two outs in the bottom of the ninth as host Seattle defeated the Athletics to salvage the finale of a three-game series.

The A’s tied the score in the top of the inning on Nick Kurtz’s one-out homer to straightaway center off Mariners closer Andres Munoz (3-2), who blew the save opportunity but ended up getting the victory.

Astros 2, Guardians 0

Yordan Alvarez had three hits, including a two-run homer in the first inning, and Peter Lambert threw six shutout innings as visiting Houston beat Cleveland in the decisive game of a three-game series.

Giants 3, Dodgers 0

Ohtani and Mahle matched zeros for six innings before the Dodgers star was pulled after having thrown 91 pitches. He has pitched exactly six innings in each of his four starts this season, and he owns a National League-leading 0.38 ERA.

Braves 8, Nationals 6

Michael Harris II hit two home runs, Matt Olson smacked a three-run shot and Atlanta rallied from an early three-run deficit to claim a win at Washington.

Drake Baldwin homered for a second straight game for the Braves, who have earned at least a split of the four-game series. Dylan Lee (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning, and Robert Suarez handled the ninth for his second save.

James Wood homered for the second straight game for the Nationals. Daylen Lile hit a three-run homer and Joey Wiemer had a pinch-hit solo shot. Zack Littell (0-3) surrendered eight runs (six earned) over six innings.

Pirates 8, Rangers 4

Nick Gonzales beat the tag at home plate and scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning as Pittsburgh picked up a win over Texas in Arlington, Texas.

Gonzales came home on pinch hitter Jake Mangum’s slow roller to third base. Jalen Beeks then replaced Cole Winn (1-1) on the mound, and Oneil Cruz greeted the new reliever with a three-run homer. The ninth-inning rally allowed Pittsburgh to even the three-game series.

Josh Jung had a two-run homer and a single for the Rangers. Jack Leiter allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits over five innings.

Marlins 4, Cardinals 1

Janson Junk allowed just one hit and a walk over five innings, and Jakob Marsee drove in a pair as Miami beat visiting St. Louis to claim the deciding contest of a three-game series.

Junk (1-2) pitched efficiently, needing just 56 pitches to go five. Javier Sanoja had his third three-hit game of the season, getting three singles in four at-bats to lead a 12-hit attack, all singles, for the Marlins.

Kyle Leahy (2-3) gave up eight hits and walked three over five innings for the Cardinals.

Rays 6, Reds 1

Nick Martinez pitched eight strong innings and Junior Caminero homered to lead Tampa Bay past Cincinnati in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Martinez (1-1) allowed a run on five hits against his former team as the Rays averted a sweep in the three-game series. Yandy Diaz finished 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI.

The Reds had their five-game winning streak snapped as Brandon Williamson (2-2) gave up five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Orioles 8, Royals 6

Coby Mayo belted a three-run homer to highlight a sixth-run sixth inning, fueling Baltimore to a victory at Kansas City.

Pete Alonso also homered as the Orioles won the rubber match of the three-game series. Chris Bassitt (1-2) allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings, and Anthony Nunez pitched a scoreless inning for his first career save.

Kyle Isbel crushed a two-run homer and Vinnie Pasquantino and Carter Jansen also went deep for the Royals, who have lost nine of their past 10 games. Michael Wacha (2-1) yielded six runs in 5 1/3 innings.

Tigers 5, Brewers 2

Spencer Torkelson hit his first homer of the season, a two-run shot, and Kerry Carpenter added a solo blast as host Detroit downed Milwaukee.

In six-plus innings, the Tigers’ Casey Mize (2-1) gave up one run and three hits. Kenley Jansen escaped a ninth-inning jam to record his sixth save.

Brewers opener DL Hall tossed two scoreless innings before Chad Patrick (1-1) allowed four runs and six hits in four innings.

Rockies 8, Padres 3

Hunter Goodman homered and doubled twice, Mickey Moniak also had two doubles, and Colorado beat San Diego in Denver.

TJ Rumfield, Jake McCarthy and Willi Castro had two hits each to back a strong outing by Colorado starter Tomoyuki Sugano (2-1), who allowed one run on five hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Luis Campusano homered among his three hits and Xander Bogaerts had two hits for the Padres, who had won 11 of their previous 12 games. Walker Buehler (1-2) was tagged for four runs on eight hits in 2 2/3 innings.

Tributes have poured in from across the world after the death of Sir Garfield “Garry” Sobers, with players, administrators, teams and boards describing his passing as an “irreplaceable loss” and celebrating him as one of the sport’s greatest icons.

Cricket West Indies led the tributes, posting: “A great innings has come to an end. In our hearts, now and forever, Sir Garfield Sobers.”

CWI president Kishore Shallow expanded on that sentiment, calling Sobers “the greatest cricketer the world has ever seen” and describing him as a symbol of “Caribbean excellence, resilience, and possibility.” Shallow said Sobers’s achievements “gave millions across our islands and in the diaspora a renewed belief in what was possible” and added that through his life Sobers became “more than a sporting icon. He became a symbol of Caribbean excellence, resilience, and possibility.”

ICC President Jay Shah described Sobers a towering figure in world cricket and a true sporting legend.

“Deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Garfield ‘Garry’ Sobers, a towering figure in world cricket and a true sporting legend. His unparalleled achievements and enduring contribution to the game have inspired generations of cricketers across the globe,” Shah said on ‘X’.

County side Nottinghamshire — where Sobers enjoyed a distinguished stint — mourned him as “Cricket’s greatest-ever all-rounder, and an iconic figure in Nottinghamshire history,” expressing its deep sadness at his passing and recalling his contributions of 7,041 runs and 281 wickets for the county.

Former players as well as commentators offered deeply personal reflections.

Geoffrey Boycott, writing for The Telegraph, described Sobers as a “once-in-a-generation talent” and praised his character: “He was a superstar and such an easy-natured guy. I never heard him complain or bad mouth other players. He had a good heart. He was generous with his time and advice.” Boycott added: “Anyone who saw him in his pomp will have wonderful memories of a great batsman, the greatest all‑rounder, an icon, a once-in-your-lifetime, exceptional cricketer.”

From India, tributes came from former captains, players and the BCCI. Sourav Ganguly wrote on X that Sobers’ death was “an irreplaceable loss to the cricket world .. his skills in that generation was a yardstick for many to judge there own talent .. one of the rarest ..May his soul rest in peace.”

Dilip Vengsarkar told PTI: “I never seen him play, to be honest with you, but I have so many stories about him. And I’ve seen him, of course, his clips and the films that have been recorded of his batting… The greatest all‑rounder, I would say, the world has ever seen.” Vengsarkar recalled meeting Sobers several times after retirement when he came to watch matches in Australia, England and India.

Dinesh Karthik posted: “You grew up listening to what Sir Garfield Sobers could do on the field. A Genius, a trend setter and a true legend of the game. The Cricket community has lost one of its biggest jewels.”

Other Indian cricketers and commentators also expressed sorrow and admiration: veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh paid respects on social channels, calling Sobers “a legend and an inspiration for every all‑rounder”.

“Without a doubt, the greatest all-rounder. He was a role model for several of us and it was fortune for us to play against him.”

“A true giant of the game whose extraordinary skill, grace and sportsmanship inspired generations of cricketers around the world. His legacy will forever remain a part of cricket’s rich history,” one of India’s batting great VVS Laxman also wrote on ‘X’.

“The first man to hit six sixes in an over, Sir Garfield Sobers showed the world that there were no limits to greatness. It is difficult to put into words what he meant to the world of cricket. He did things on the field that most could only dream of, and he did it with grace, humility and joy,” by Yuvraj Singh as he joined the existing waves of tributes across social media platforms.

Former India opener Wasim Jaffer and ex‑selector and former India international Sanjay Bangar noted Sobers’ impact on how generations defined the complete cricketer.

The BCCI posted a formal message on social media: “The BCCI mourns the passing of Sir Garfield Sobers, a true icon of the game and one of cricket’s greatest-ever all-rounders.”

IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders posted on X: “Deeply saddened by the passing of one of cricket’s greatest icons, Sir Garfield Sobers. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the entire cricketing fraternity.”

Madan Lal, part of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, said in a conversation with PTI: “Such an all-rounder has never been born, there will ever be another. As a bowler, as a batsman and as a fielder, Gary Sobers set the benchmark for what a true all-rounder should be. In every department of the game, he was an exceptional player. That’s why he was regarded as the greatest all-rounder in the world.”

Furthermore, he added a personal tribute: “Sir Garry Sobers was more than a legend – he was the very definition of greatness, inspiring generations with his extraordinary talent and humility. Sir your legacy will live on forever in the hearts of cricket lovers across the globe.”

Former India fast bowler Chetan Sharma also described Sobers in simple terms: he is “the best all-rounder in cricket history.”

Many former teammates, opponents and commentators used personal anecdotes to underline Sobers’s generosity and influence. Geoffrey Boycott’s recollection of Sobers as a mentor and gentleman was mirrored by others who remembered him as approachable and willing to share advice with younger players.

Sunil Gavaskar, 1983 World Cup winner and former India captain, also paid his tribute.

He said it was likely the saddest day for cricket, mourning “the greatest cricketer to walk the earth.” He added that no words can fully capture Sir Garfield Sobers’s greatness as a player, and that Sobers embodied everything a young cricketer dreams of when first picking up bat or ball.

Gavaskar also went on to say that memories of Sobers keep returning and that he will hold them close to his heart. He concluded: “Rest in peace Sir Garfield. You will stay eternally in our hearts.”

“The absolute GOAT. There was nothing he couldn’t do in cricket. And did each one of those things brilliantly! RIP Gary Sobers” as posted by Indian right-hand batsman and cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar on social media platform “X”.

CWI president Kishore Shallow expanded on that sentiment, calling Sobers “the greatest cricketer the world has ever seen” and describing him as a symbol of “Caribbean excellence, resilience, and possibility.” Shallow said Sobers’s achievements “gave millions across our islands and in the diaspora a renewed belief in what was possible” and added that through his life Sobers became “more than a sporting icon.

County side Nottinghamshire — where Sobers enjoyed a distinguished stint — mourned him as “Cricket’s greatest-ever all-rounder, and an iconic figure in Nottinghamshire history,” expressing its deep sadness at his passing and recalling his contributions of 7,041 runs and 281 wickets for the county.

Former players as well as commentators offered deeply personal reflections.

Geoffrey Boycott, writing for The Telegraph, described Sobers as a “once-in-a-generation talent” and praised his character: “He was a superstar and such an easy-natured guy. I never heard him complain or bad mouth other players. He had a good heart. He was generous with his time and advice.” Boycott added: “Anyone who saw him in his pomp will have wonderful memories of a great batsman, the greatest all‑rounder, an icon, a once-in-your-lifetime, exceptional cricketer.”

From India, tributes came from former captains, players and the BCCI. Sourav Ganguly wrote on X that Sobers’ death was “an irreplaceable loss to the cricket world .. his skills in that generation was a yardstick for many to judge there own talent .. one of the rarest ..May his soul rest in peace.”

Dilip Vengsarkar told PTI: “I never seen him play, to be honest with you, but I have so many stories about him. And I’ve seen him, of course, his clips and the films that have been recorded of his batting… The greatest all‑rounder, I would say, the world has ever seen.” Vengsarkar recalled meeting Sobers several times after retirement when he came to watch matches in Australia, England and India.

Dinesh Karthik posted: “You grew up listening to what Sir Garfield Sobers could do on the field. A Genius, a trend setter and a true legend of the game. The Cricket community has lost one of its biggest jewels.”

Other Indian cricketers and commentators also expressed sorrow and admiration: veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh paid respects on social channels, calling Sobers “a legend and an inspiration for every all‑rounder”.

“Without a doubt, the greatest all-rounder. He was a role model for several of us and it was fortune for us to play against him.”

“A true giant of the game whose extraordinary skill, grace and sportsmanship inspired generations of cricketers around the world. His legacy will forever remain a part of cricket’s rich history,” one of India’s batting great VVS Laxman also wrote on ‘X’.

“The first man to hit six sixes in an over, Sir Garfield Sobers showed the world that there were no limits to greatness. It is difficult to put into words what he meant to the world of cricket. He did things on the field that most could only dream of, and he did it with grace, humility and joy,” by Yuvraj Singh as he joined the existing waves of tributes across social media platforms.

Former India opener Wasim Jaffer and ex‑selector and former India international Sanjay Bangar noted Sobers’ impact on how generations defined the complete cricketer.

That’s why he was regarded as the greatest all-rounder in the world.”
