Mike Trout took a called third strike for the final out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning of the Los Angeles Angels' 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.

"I knew what he was going to throw me," Trout said. "They were throwing me the same stuff the whole game. I've gotta come through. I just didn't. … After [Craig Kimbrel] threw one up … that's where he pitches, he pitches up, he has that rising fastball … I've got to put the ball in play, you know, and come through."

It was similar in tone to the Angels' 5-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on April 14, when Trout struck out swinging with runners on second and third to seal the defeat.

Ranger Suarez pitched seven scoreless innings for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.

Suarez has thrown 25 consecutive scoreless innings going back to the fourth inning on April 6 against the Washington Nationals.

It is the longest streak by a Phillies pitcher since Cliff Lee threw 30 2/3 scoreless innings from Aug. 17–Sept. 10, 2011.

"I've never had a really good fastball, so today I felt how I've always felt,” Suarez said. "As always, I tried to mix all my pitches, especially my changeup and curveball. I don't throw hard. So those are things I have to do to get outs."

Suarez is 4-0 with a 1.36 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 33 innings this season.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have released Jace Peterson.

The move was expected after the Diamondbacks designated Peterson for assignment last week.

Arizona acquired Peterson in a mid-season trade with the Oakland Athletics last summer. The 33-year-old is still due what remains of this season's $5 million salary. The A's agreed to pay $2 million of that sum as part of last summer's trade, while Arizona is on the hook for the other $3 million.

An arbitrator has denied Rimas Sports' request for a temporary restraining order that would have allowed its main baseball agent, William Arroyo, to continue representing clients while navigating an appeal of his decertification, ESPN has learned.

The decision was made by arbitrator Michael Gottesman on Friday. On Monday, the Major League Baseball Players' Association made the procedural step of filing a motion with the Southern District of New York asking that the court uphold his decision.

Arroyo originally had his agent certification revoked on April 10 in the wake of an MLBPA investigation about improper benefits provided to players.

Jonathan Miranda and Noah Assad, two prominent executives for the Bad Bunny-led agency, were also denied their applications for certification. 

Michael Velazquez, another certified agent who recently joined Rimas, must leave the agency by May 10 or face potential decertification, sources with knowledge of the situation said.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jakob Junis was taken away in an ambulance after being hit in the neck by a line drive during batting practice on Monday at PNC Park.

Junis was standing in the outfield when he was struck by the hard-hit ball off the bat of teammate Alika Williams.

Junis remained down for about 20 minutes while being treated by medical teams. The Pirates said he was conscious, alert and responsive and sent to a hospital for further evaluation.

The Tampa Bay Rays placed struggling closer Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list with nerve-related issues before Monday night's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Fairbanks has experienced numbness in his fingers at times over the past few years, and the problem flared up again on Saturday and Sunday.

The New York Mets are hoping J.D. Martinez can join the Major League club on Friday, according to a report.

Martinez will move to Triple-A Syracuse as he works towards his debut.

The veteran slugger signed a one-year deal with the Mets just before Opening Day.

Trevor Bauer had 14 strikeouts on Sunday, matching a Mexican League record with nine in a row as the Diablos Rojos del Mexico defeated the Bravos de Leon 4-0.

Bauer, 33, equaled a Mexican League mark set by Jose Ramon Lopez in 1964 and tied by Gary Williams in 1979.

The right-hander pitched six scoreless innings with one walk to earn his first win of the season. He signed a five-game contract with the Diablos Rojos.

Bauer has been trying to revive his big league career after serving a 194-game suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy. 

The Boston Red Sox have placed Triston Casas on the injured list with a left rib strain.

Casas, 24, felt discomfort in his rib area during his first at-bat in Boston's 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday and left the game.

He is hitting .244/.344/.513 with 6 home runs and 10 RBI on the season.

The Houston Astros have placed Cristian Javier on the injured list with neck discomfort.

Spencer Arrighetti will be recalled to take Javier's place in the starting rotation, according to manager Joe Espada.

"Neck discomfort, started a few days ago," Espada said. "He tried to work through it but just couldn't happen. This kind of just came out of nowhere. So, we are going to see what happens here."

Hunter Brown started in Javier's place Sunday in the rubber match of the three-game series, taking the loss as the Washington Nationals defeated the Astros 6-0.
