Game Recap - Baseball Wiretap
The White Sox entered their series finale on Sunday against the Tigers with the worst rotation ERA in baseball and the second-worst overall mark. They exited it with a new strikeout record.
Reynaldo Lopez and three relievers combined to strike out 20 Tigers in Chicago's 4-1 win at Guaranteed Rate Field. That tied the MLB record for a nine-inning game.
Clayton Kershaw delivered a vintage outing for his first win of the season, allowing one run over seven innings to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 on Saturday night.
Christian Yelich hit his major league-leading 14th home run, tying the record for most before May 1, and the Milwaukee Brewers opened a five-run lead and held on to beat the New York Mets 8-6 Saturday night.
Cody Bellinger hit a two-run homer in the first inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers set a major league record with homers in 33 consecutive home games in a 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday.
Nationals prospect Carter Kieboom hit a game-tying home run in his major league debut against the Padres on Friday night.
The 21-year-old Kieboom, who was rated the 98th-best prospect in baseball by ESPN's Keith Law prior to this season, drilled a solo shot to dead center off Padres reliever Craig Stammen to lead off the bottom of the eighth inning
The atmosphere surrounding Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s major league debut Friday was so electric that his Blue Jays teammate Marcus Stroman had to compare him to another highly touted prospect.
"It's like having Zion Williamson on your team; it's like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent," Stroman said after Guerrero helped Toronto beat the Oakland Athletics 4-2. "So just to have the opportunity to play with him, it's amazing to look out there and see him behind me at third base. I think he's gonna give us a huge little edge, and just, like I said, just carry this momentum from this win into every other start."
Baltimore's Chris Davis ended an MLB-record 0-for-54 skid with his first hit of the season Saturday, dropping in a two-run single in the first inning off Boston Red Sox starter Rick Porcello.
Davis clapped his hands and called for the ball after reaching base to end the longest hitless streak by a non-pitcher in major league history. It began last season on Sept 15, 2018.
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw gave up two runs and struck out six in 4⅓ innings during his rehab assignment for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday night.
The three-time National League Cy Young Award winner threw 61 pitches against the San Antonio Missions, a Brewers affiliate. The Oklahoma City Dodgers trailed 2-0 when Kershaw was pulled in the top of the fifth. He earned a no-decision.
Showered by raindrops and jeers for much of the game, Bryce Harper put a bat-flipping, celebratory finish on his memorable return to Washington.
Harper crushed a long home run in his final at-bat, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Nationals 8-2 Tuesday night for the franchise's best start in over a century.
