Apr 17, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Angels players take a moment of silence to honor former player Garret Anderson before a game against the San Diego Padres at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: William Liang-Imagn Images Yoan Moncada and Josh Lowe homered as the Los Angeles Angels, only hours after announcing the death of franchise icon Garret Anderson, snapped San Diego’s eight-game winning streak with an 8-0 victory on Friday night in Anaheim, Calif.
Angels starter Jose Soriano (5-0) allowed two hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out eight, lowering major-league-leading ERA to 0.28.
Nolan Schanuel went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run for Los Angeles, which finished with 13 hits. Adam Frazier had double, a single and two runs, Jo Adell hit a two-run double and Zach Neto and Oswald Peraza also had two hits for the Angels, who won for the third time in four games.

Red Sox 1, Tigers 0 (10 innings)
Masataka Yoshida knocked a pinch-hit, walk-off single in the 10th inning, leading Boston to a win over visiting Detroit.
Yoshida’s hit through the right side of the infield drove in Jarren Duran, the automatic runner on second base to begin the extra frame. Duran had advanced to third on a wild pitch by Tigers reliever Will Vest (1-3).
After starter Ranger Suarez tossed eight innings of two-hit ball, Red Sox relievers Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock (1-1) each pitched a scoreless frame. Casey Mize tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings for the Tigers, whose six-game winning streak ended.
Reds 2, Twins 1

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.

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.

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.
