Deadspin | MLB roundup: Orioles storm back from 6-run deficit to beat Diamondbacks Apr 13, 2026; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso (25) celebrates with catcher Samuel Basallo (29) after scoring on his seventh inning home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the seventh inning, Jeremiah Jackson smacked two homers and drove in five runs and the Baltimore Orioles rallied from a six-run deficit to stun the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 9-7 on Monday in the series opener. The Orioles trailed 7-1 going to the bottom of the sixth inning, when Leody Taveras’ RBI single and Jackson’s grand slam closed the gap to 7-6. Alonso’s second homer with Baltimore gave the Orioles the lead for the first time, and Jackson added his second long ball in the eighth. Baltimore’s rally wiped out the impact of two-homer games from Diamondbacks Ketel Marte and Nolan Arenado, who had a five-RBI night. Marte hit the game’s first pitch for a homer off Baltimore starter Dean Kremer and added his second blast off Kremer in the third inning, another solo shot. The Orioles totaled eight hits and four walks while stretching their winning streak to three games and prevailing for the sixth time in seven games. Gunnar Henderson had a run-scoring triple for Baltimore, which produced its largest run total of the season. Yankees 11, Angels 10 Jose Caballero scored on a wild pitch by Jordan Romano as host New York snapped a five-game losing streak with a wild victory over Los Angeles. Trent Grisham homered twice, drove in five and his two-run drive into the right field seats off Romano (0-1) in the ninth forged a 10-10 tie. Aaron Judge homered twice for his 47th career multi-homer game. Judge passed Mickey Mantle for the second-most multi-homer games in team history. Mike Trout had his 31st career multi-homer game when he hit a three-run homer off Jake Bird to forge a 7-7 tie in the sixth and a two-run blast off Camilo Doval in the eighth to give the Angels a 10-8 lead. Trout, who also drove in five runs, hit his 407th and 408th career homers. Twins 13, Red Sox 6 Ryan Jeffers went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs as Minnesota coasted to a win over Boston in Minneapolis. Victor Caratini also homered and drove in three runs for the Twins, who won for the seventh time in the past eight games. Byron Buxton and Ryan Kreidler went deep, too. Bailey Ober (2-0) allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings. Jarren Duran hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox. Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet (2-2) surrendered 11 runs (10 earned), both career highs, on nine hits in 1 2/3 innings. Mariners 6, Astros 2 Josh Naylor hit two home runs — his first two extra-base hits of the season — and drove in five runs as host Seattle completed a four-game sweep of American League West rival Houston. George Kirby (2-2) pitched 7 2/3 innings for the victory, allowing two runs on seven hits. Luke Raley had three hits for the Mariners and Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez each added two hits and two runs. Mike Burrows (1-3) gave up six runs on 11 hits over six innings for the Astros, who have lost eight in a row and went 1-9 on a 10-game road trip.

Lowe hit his sixth home run of the season in the sixth inning and finished with three hits, as did Bryan Reynolds, who totaled four RBIs. Oneil Cruz extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a pair of hits and Spencer Horwitz also had two hits, including a solo homer.

Cade Cavalli (0-1) left after 1 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on three hits. Phillies 13, Cubs 7 Kyle Schwarber homered twice, drove in three runs and scored four times to help Philadelphia to a win against visiting Chicago in the opener of their three-game series. J.T. Realmuto had three hits and three RBIs, Brandon Marsh added three hits, two RBIs and two runs scored, and Adolis Garcia contributed two hits, an RBI and two runs scored for the Phillies, who had lost four of five. Cristopher Sanchez (2-1) went six innings, allowing two runs and six hits. Dansby Swanson hit a two-run homer, and Ian Happ, Moises Ballesteros and Miguel Amaya each had two hits and a run scored for Chicago, which has dropped three of four. Cubs starter Javier Assad (1-1) was tagged for nine runs and 11 hits over 4 1/3 innings. Marlins 10, Braves 4 Agustin Ramirez hit a homer and drove in four runs to help the visiting Miami beat Atlanta. The Marlins scored only three runs over the weekend while suffering a three-game sweep at Detroit. On Monday, Miami banged out 16 hits and scored 10 runs, matching their season high.

Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4 but extended his on-base streak to 47 games, tying the second-longest run in the club’s Los Angeles history. Leading off the first inning, Ohtani was hit in the right shoulder by a 94 mph sinker from New York left-hander David Peterson but remained in the game. Peterson (0-3) gave up four runs on five hits over five innings. New York managed just three singles while extending its losing streak to a season-high six games at the start of a six-game road trip. Rangers 8, Athletics 1 Jake Burger hit two homers and drove in four runs and Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven shutout innings to help Texas record a victory over the Athletics at West Sacramento, Calif. Josh Smith and Josh Jung each drove in two runs in the eighth inning as the Rangers broke the game open. Joc Pederson had three of Texas’ 11 hits. Eovaldi (2-2) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out seven as the Rangers earned their second straight win and fifth in the past seven.

Deadspin | Larry Fitzgerald thanks all of Arizona: ‘You gave me a home’ Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee Larry Fitzgerald and his son Devin Fitzgerald unveil his bust during the Class of 2026 enshrinement ceremony at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 8, 2026. One day after being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, longtime Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald paid for a full-page ad in the Arizona Republic to thank everyone who made a Minnesota native feel welcome in the state he calls home. After being selected by the Cardinals with the third overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, Fitzgerald spent all 17 years of his NFL career in Arizona. He caught 1,432 passes for 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns while earning 11 trips to the Pro Bowl. Fitzgerald ranks second to Jerry Rice on the NFL’s all-time lists for receptions and receiving yards. He stands sixth in touchdown catches, trailing Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Chris Carter and Marvin Harrison. Here’s the message Fitzgerald penned for his Arizona Republic ad: People have asked me countless times what it felt like to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The truth is, it was one of the greatest honors of my life. But this really isn’t a Hall of Fame story. It’s a thank-you letter. I arrived in Arizona as a 20-year-old kid who didn’t know a single person. I had no idea this desert would become the place that would shape me into the man I am today. The day I landed was the same day the nation learned Pat Tillman had lost his life. Pat is one of America’s great heroes. I stepped off the plane into a state where its people were carrying real grief, and something inside me grew quiet. I started paying attention. You learn quickly what loyalty looks like when it isn’t just a word. For the next 17 seasons, I quietly measured myself against the standard Pat Tillman set. I’m still not sure I ever lived up to it. Somewhere along the way, Arizona stopped being the place where I lived and became the place I was from. It happened through a thousand ordinary moments until one day, I realized this was simply home. Not because I was a Hall of Famer. Not because I was a wide receiver. Just because the people of this state allowed me to be Larry. You don’t fall in love with a place because of its stadiums. You fall in love on quiet mornings hiking Camelback Mountain. On crisp fall afternoons walking a golf course. During summers in Flagstaff and standing among the red rocks of Sedona that remind you just how small you are in the best possible way. When I stopped playing football, I walked away quietly. I’m known for my Irish goodbyes. Arizona even gave me that. Yet you kept showing up for me anyway, especially through the work of my foundation. Your support was never conditional. You never asked me to be anything other than myself, and somehow that was always enough. Arizona gave a kid from Minneapolis something he didn’t even know he was searching for. Belonging. And that sense of belonging changed me. After a while, you weren’t cheering for a wide receiver anymore, you were cheering for one of your own. So this isn’t really a story about 17 years in a Cardinals uniform or a bronze bust in Canton. It’s the story of a young man who was welcomed by a state that owed him nothing and gave him everything. Thank you, Arizona. Thank you for letting a kid from somewhere else become one of your own. Thank you for embracing not just the player, but the man. You gave me far more than a career. You gave me friendships that will last a lifetime. You gave me purpose beyond football. You gave me a place where my children will always know they belong. Most of all, you gave me a home.

One day after being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, longtime Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald paid for a full-page ad in the Arizona Republic to thank everyone who made a Minnesota native feel welcome in the state he calls home.

After being selected by the Cardinals with the third overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, Fitzgerald spent all 17 years of his NFL career in Arizona. He caught 1,432 passes for 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns while earning 11 trips to the Pro Bowl.

Fitzgerald ranks second to Jerry Rice on the NFL’s all-time lists for receptions and receiving yards. He stands sixth in touchdown catches, trailing Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Chris Carter and Marvin Harrison.

Here’s the message Fitzgerald penned for his Arizona Republic ad:

People have asked me countless times what it felt like to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The truth is, it was one of the greatest honors of my life.

But this really isn’t a Hall of Fame story.

It’s a thank-you letter.

When I arrived to cover the Minnesota Vikings for the St. Paul Pioneer Press in 2000, it was clear I was dealing with a star-studded roster.

The team boasted future Pro Football Hall of Famers; wide receivers Cris Carter and Randy Moss and defensive tackle John Randle. Plus, there were a ton of other stars including quarterback Daunte Culpepper, center Matt Birk and running back Robert Smith. The Vikings were loaded with star power.

The talent around the team wasn’t relegated simply to the roster, however.

That summer I first laid my eyes on a 16-year-old high school junior named Larry Fitzgerald Jr. The son of a local media member and close friend of Vikings’ head coach Dennis Green, Little Fitzy was a ball boy during training camp and on game days. It turns out, Larry Fitzgerald Jr. is very likely the most famous former NFL ball boy in history.

On reporting date, fellow reporter Kevin Seifert pointed out Fitzgerald to me and said “that’s a bad man.” Seifert didn’t say that about any of the actual Vikings that day.

Fitzgerald was already known as the best Minnesota high school prospect in years and he was considered one of the best high school players in the country. Seifert told me the buzz was that the kid was, no doubt, headed to the NFL in a half decade or so. Seifert was on the money. I’m not sure the Hall of Fame was mentioned or not.

But this weekend of course, that’s exactly where Little Fitzy is headed. He will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Fitzgerald will be remembered as one of the best and most productive wide receivers in league history after an incredible 17-season career with the Arizona Cardinals.

I have a ton of memories of being around Fitzgerald, but there’s one that stands out among them all.

One day after training camp, a nameless Vikings’ wide receiver camp body was getting extra work on a JUGS machine, catching balls. He was being tutored by Fitzgerald, who was showing this player how to properly approach the incoming ball. This was a child instructing a grown man an NFL team deemed good enough to attend training camp.

Larry Fitzgerald Jr. was special even back then.

In addition to his incredible natural football ability, Larry Fitzgerald Jr. stood out for his politeness and good nature. You could tell he was a good kid from the first time you met him.

There was no I’m-going-to-be-a-star attitude. He was genuine and he worked his tail off with the rest of the ball boys. There was no entitlement. It was as if he was using his time around an NFL camp as an internship for his future. He passed with flying colors.

I’ve always cherished following his career from his days at Pittsburgh in college to his days of dominating the NFL and I’ve enjoyed running into him over the years now and again.

Enjoy Canton, Little Fitzy, you’ve earned it.
