It is the third All-Star selection for Rodon, 32, who made the AL squad with the Chicago White Sox in 2021 and the National League roster with the San Francisco Giants in 2022.

Rodon entered Friday with a 9-6 record and a 3.30 ERA through 19 starts this season. He has struck out 127 batters and walked 40 in 111 2/3 innings.

Rodon was New York's scheduled starter for Friday night's series opener against the visiting Chicago Cubs, which gives him three days of rest before Tuesday's All-Star Game in Atlanta.

Fried, 31, is the Yankees' scheduled starter on Saturday. The three-time All-Star is 11-2 with a 2.27 ERA through 19 starts this season. He leads the majors in wins and winning percentage (.846) and has struck out 111 batters with 24 walks in 119 innings.

The AL All-Star team will be managed by Yankees skipper Aaron Boone and includes two other New York players: starting outfielder Aaron Judge and reserve infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Ellard, who has been rehabbing from a left lat strain with Triple-A Charlotte, will serve as the 27th player for both games.

Ellard, 27, had been on the IL since May 4 but transferred to the 60-day list June 8. In 10 relief outings in Charlotte, he went 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA and 12 strikeouts in 11 innings.

In seven relief appearances for the White Sox this season, he is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 6.2 innings.

An eighth-round pick of Chicago in the 2021 draft, Ellard is 2-5 with a 4.40 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 32 appearances, all in relief, in his two seasons with the White Sox.

Following a walk by Trent Grisham against Gabe Speier (2-1), Judge lifted a fly ball to center field and Volpe scored when Julio Rodriguez's throw was off target. That came after Devin Williams (3-3) tossed a perfect top of the 10th.

Seattle blew a five-run lead when Matt Brash allowed a two-run homer to pinch hitter Giancarlo Stanton in the eighth and Andres Munoz surrendered a two-strike single to Austin Wells with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth.

Woo carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and allowed two runs in 7 1/3 outstanding innings. Woo finished with five strikeouts, walked two and threw 103 pitches in the longest outing of his career. Jorge Polanco gave the Mariners their 5-0 lead with a three-run homer in the seventh.

Cubs 8, Twins 1

Pete Crow-Armstrong crushed a pair of home runs and right-hander Colin Rea handled the rest as Chicago blew out Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Rea (7-3) scattered three hits and struck out five in seven innings in what became a light workout behind Chicago's offensive barrage. Crow-Armstrong was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs and Seiya Suzuki added three hits and two runs. Crow-Armstrong, who now has 25 home runs this season, also collected his 21st double of the year.

Royce Lewis had two of Minnesota's four hits and the Twins' lone run came on Kody Clemens' solo shot with one out in the fifth.

Orioles 3, Mets 1 (Game 1)

Gunnar Henderson's two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning interrupted a pitching duel and Baltimore beat visiting New York in the first game of a doubleheader.

Mets starter David Peterson cruised through seven shutout innings before yielding Colton Cowser's leadoff single in the eighth, and he was replaced by Ryne Stanek, who surrendered Henderson's 11th home run of the season.

Tyrone Taylor drove in the Mets' run and Mark Vientos, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning, had two of their five hits.

Orioles 7, Mets 3 (Game 2)

Jordan Westburg homered and Gunnar Henderson had three hits as Baltimore beat visiting New York to complete the twin-bill sweep.

Orioles starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano (7-5) gave up two first-inning runs and then settled in to complete six innings. He allowed three runs on four hits. The Orioles have won five of their last six games.

The Mets have lost three of their last four games. Brandon Nimmo had two of the team's five hits.

Red Sox 4, Rays 3

Ceddanne Rafaela's two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning highlighted a 2-for-3 night, leading Boston to a win over visiting Tampa Bay in the opener of a four-game series.

Rafaela made an impact on both of Boston's run-scoring frames, hitting a one-out single and scoring its first run in the third inning before his decisive knock in a three-run seventh. Boston starter Walker Buehler worked around two home runs to finish six innings, allowing just three other hits. Chris Murphy (1-0) and Garrett Whitlock pitched in front of Aroldis Chapman, who clinched the team's seventh straight win by striking out two to post his 16th save of the season.

Junior Caminero and Ha-Seong Kim (two RBIs) provided the homers for Tampa Bay, which had a 7-4 advantage in hits.

Reds 6, Marlins 0

Nick Lodolo and four relievers combined on a four-hit shutout for host Cincinnati, which salvaged a split of a four-game series with Miami.

Spencer Steer homered while Austin Hays had three RBIs thanks to a pair of singles for the Reds, who won the final two games of the series. Elly De La Cruz also had two hits, including a run-scoring single in the sixth, and a stolen base. Lodolo (6-6) allowed three hits over six innings.

Marlins starter Cal Quantrill (3-8) took the loss after giving up all six runs (five earned) on seven hits over five innings. Four Marlins had one hit apiece.

Cardinals 8, Nationals 1

Miles Mikolas threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings as St. Louis defeated Washington to take the three-game series. Mikolas (5-6) allowed just two hits while striking out six batters and walking one. This was a dramatic turnaround from his previous two starts, when he allowed 14 runs on 17 hits in 10 innings.

Willson Contreras hit a homer and scored twice for the Cardinals. Alec Burleson drove in two runs, Brendan Donovan had two runs and an RBI, and Masyn Winn had two doubles and an RBI.

Nationals starter Michael Soroka (3-7) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings.

Reliever Adrian Morejon (7-3) pitched 1 2/3 innings to pick up his second win of the series, leading a bullpen effort that saw San Diego's relievers work 4 2/3 frames and give up just one run. Closer Robert Suarez got the last three outs for his 27th save, which leads the major leagues.

Eduardo Rodriguez (3-6) lasted four-plus innings for Arizona, permitting eight hits and four runs with two walks and three strikeouts. Padres starter Randy Vasquez toiled for 4 1/3 innings, giving up five hits and two runs. He walked four and fanned one.

The Diamondbacks initiated scoring in the third inning with two runs. Jake McCarthy drew a leadoff walk and reached third base on Alec Thomas' double. Jose Herrera and Corbin Carroll cashed them both in with sacrifice flies.

Tatis led off the San Diego third with his 16th homer, blasting a 3-2 cutter over the center field wall. The Padres tied the game in the fourth, when Jackson Merrill walked, reached third on Jose Iglesias' single and scored via Jake Cronenworth's RBI groundout.

Machado put the Padres ahead to stay in the fifth with his 16th homer, ripping a cutter to the seats in left field. Gavin Sheets followed with a single, his third hit of the night, and scored when Xander Bogaerts greeted reliever Juan Morillo with a double into the left field corner.

Arizona had chances in the seventh and eighth inning. Geraldo Perdomo cut the deficit to a run with an RBI double in the seventh, but Jason Adam stranded two when he induced a groundout from Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

The Diamondbacks got the tying run to third in the eighth, but Carroll looked at a called third strike from Jeremiah Estrada.

The teams combined to leave 23 runners aboard, 13 by San Diego.

Corey Seager also had two hits and a walk and two RBIs and Evan Carter doubled and had two hits for Texas, which earned a split of the four-game series.

Patrick Corbin (6-7) picked up the win, allowing two runs on seven hits over five innings, the 13th consecutive start that he's gone at least five innings. He walked two and struck out six.

Zach Neto homered, doubled and had three hits and Taylor Ward added two hits, including a two-run homer, for Los Angeles, which lost for the fifth time in seven games.

Jack Kochanowicz (3-9) suffered the loss, allowing eight runs on eight hits and three walks over 2 2/3 innings.

Texas parlayed four consecutive one-out singles by Seager, Semien, Garcia and Jonas Heim into a 2-0 lead in the first inning with Garcia and Heim picking up the RBIs.

The Rangers then broke the game open in the third, sending up 12 men while increasing the lead to 9-0. Seager had a two-run single, Jake Burger had an RBI double and Wyatt Langford, Carter and Semien each added RBI singles during an inning that featured six hits, three walks and a run-scoring balk by Kochanowicz.

Los Angeles cut the lead to 9-2 in the fifth on Ward's 21st home run, a 407-foot drive over the bullpens in left, driving in Neto, who had doubled.

The Angels closed to 9-3 in the sixth on an RBI single by LaMonte Wade Jr. but Garcia put the Rangers back in front by eight runs, 11-3, in the eighth with a two-run homer to center.

Neto ended the scoring with a 424-foot solo homer to left-center with two outs in the bottom of the ninth off reliever Dane Dunning, his 14th home run of the season.

Soderstrom's three-hit, four-RBI performance enabled the Athletics to take two of three games in the series.

Nick Kurtz also homered for the Athletics and Brent Rooker had two hits and scored twice.

Ozzie Albies and Jurickson Profar hit homers for the Braves, who have lost six of their past seven games.

Rooker began the 11th as the runner at second base, and Atlanta's Aaron Bummer (1-2) struck out Kurtz before intentionally walking Miguel Andujar. Soderstrom then hit a first-pitch curveball into right-center; Rooker easily scored the winning run.

Justin Sterner (2-3) pitched two perfect innings for the A's.

Spencer Strider struck out 11 in 6 2/3 innings for the Braves. He allowed three runs, five hits and three walks.

All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson (left hand contusion) of the Athletics missed his second straight game. He was hit by a pitch Tuesday in the Athletics' victory over the Braves.

On Thursday, Albies struck with two outs in the seventh; he sent an 0-1 slider from Sean Newcomb over the wall in right-center to give the Braves a 4-3 lead.

Kurtz tied the score in the bottom of the eighth with an opposite-field homer to left field, off Dylan Lee. Kurtz leads all major league rookies with 15 homers.

In the bottom of the 10th, the A's were foiled when Rooker lined out to shortstop Luke Williams, who flipped the ball underhanded to Albies to retire Shea Langeliers at second and end the inning.

In the top of the 11th, Luke Williams was at third with two outs for the Braves before Sterner retired Austin Riley on a grounder.

Athletics starter JP Sears allowed three runs and four hits over five innings. He struck out six and walked none.

The Athletics jumped ahead 3-0 in the first. Rooker doubled with one out and Kurtz walked. Soderstrom then hit a two-out slider 445 feet over the wall in right-center.

Sears retired the first 11 batters before Atlanta got to him in the fourth inning. Riley and Sean Murphy hit back-to-back two-out doubles for one run and Profar followed with a tying two-run homer to left.

The Athletics recalled right-hander Osvaldo Bido from the same affiliate in a corresponding move.

American League All-Star starting shortstop Jacob Wilson (left hand contusion) wasn't in the starting lineup against Atlanta on Thursday for the second straight night. Wilson was plunked by a pitch from rookie right-hander Didier Fuentes in the first inning of Tuesday's victory over the Braves.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Atlanta counterpart Brian Snitker called him after Tuesday's game to apologize for Wilson's beaning. The Braves optioned Fuentes, 20, to Triple-A Gwinnett immediately following that contest.

Wilson, a rookie, ranks second in the majors with a .335 average.

Spence, 27, was torched for eight runs and nine hits over six innings on Wednesday. He is 2-5 with a 4.70 ERA in 29 appearances (seven starts) for the A's this season.

Bido, 29, is 2-4 with a 6.14 ERA in 12 appearances (nine starts) for the Athletics this season.

Mikolas (5-6) allowed just two hits while striking out six batters and walking one. This was a dramatic turnaround from his previous two starts, when he allowed 14 runs on 17 hits in 10 innings.

Willson Contreras hit a homer and scored twice for the Cardinals, who took two of three games from the Nationals. Alec Burleson drove in two runs, Brendan Donovan had two runs and an RBI, and Masyn Winn had two doubles and an RBI.

Nationals starter Michael Soroka (3-7) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings. He needed 91 pitches to get his 12 outs

The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Donovan hit a single, raced to third on Winn's double and scored on Burleson's groundout.

St. Louis increased its lead to 2-0 in the third inning. Donovan hit a single, moved up on a wild pitch and scored on Burleson's single.

After allowing CJ Abrams' double leading off the game, Mikolas retired 13 straight batters until Paul DeJong hit a one-out single in the fifth inning.

The Cardinals broke the game open with five runs in the sixth inning. Contreras led off with a single and moved to third on Lars Nootbaar's ground-rule double.

Nolan Arenado poked an RBI single through the right side of the pulled-in infield. After Nolan Gorman walked, Yohel Pozo hit an RBI single, then Victor Scott II grounded into a forceout to score another run.

Donovan hit a sacrifice fly. Scott stole second base and scored on Winn's double to make it 7-0.

Contreras increased the margin to 8-0 with his seventh-inning homer.

Washington broke through in the eighth inning. Daylen Lile went to third on Drew Millas' single and scored on Jacob Young's fielder's choice grounder to cut the deficit to 8-1.

The game, which was going to open a four-game set, has been rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Friday. The makeup game will begin at 2:10 p.m. CT with the other game set to take place at its original time, 7:10 p.m.

The White Sox had planned to start right-hander Jonathan Cannon, while the Guardians were going to hurl left-hander Logan Allen. Neither team has announced changes in their pitching rotations for Friday.

Cannon (3-7, 4.50 ERA) ended a six-start winless streak in his most recent outing last Saturday, holding the Colorado Rockies to two runs and eight hits over 5 1/3 innings in a 10-3 win.

Allen (5-7, 4.07 ERA) has lost his past three starts, though he hasn't pitched poorly in any of those games. Allen most recently held the Detroit Tigers to one run and two hits in six innings but received no run support in a 1-0 loss on Saturday.

Prior to the postponement, Chicago players dressed in jerseys adorned with "45" jersey patches to honor the memory of closer Bobby Jenks, who passed away Friday after a bout with stomach cancer. Jenks was a key contributor for the 2005 World Series-winning White Sox. The team will wear the patches the rest of this season.

Rafaela made an impact on both of Boston's run-scoring frames, hitting a one-out single and scoring its first run in the third inning before his decisive knock in a three-run seventh.

Boston starter Walker Buehler worked around two home runs to finish six innings, allowing just three other hits. Chris Murphy (1-0) and Garrett Whitlock pitched in front of Aroldis Chapman, who clinched the team's seventh straight win by striking out two to post his 16th save of the season.

Junior Caminero and Ha-Seong Kim (two RBIs) provided the homers for Tampa Bay, which had a 7-4 advantage in hits.

Tampa Bay's Taj Bradley finished his six-inning start with three straight scoreless and hitless frames before the Red Sox tagged the bullpen for three runs in a span of four batters before an out was recorded in the seventh.

Reliever Bryan Baker (3-3) issued back-to-back walks to Trevor Story and Romy Gonzalez, setting up Marcelo Mayer's RBI double opportunity to make it a one-run game. Rafaela flipped the score back Boston's way with a two-run single up the middle.

After Buehler benefited from an inning-ending double play in the first and escaped a two-on, two-out jam in the second, Roman Anthony staked the hosts to a 1-0 lead when he dropped an RBI single in front of Tampa Bay right fielder Josh Lowe in the third.

Boston's lead was quickly erased, though, as Kim lined a two-run home run into the second row of the Green Monster Seats, scoring Lowe ahead of him with one out in the fourth.

Caminero made it a 3-1 Rays lead in the sixth, leading off with a no-doubt solo shot to left.

Following a walk by Trent Grisham against Gabe Speier (2-1), Judge lifted a fly ball to center field and Volpe scored when Julio Rodriguez's throw was off target.

Seattle blew a five-run lead when Matt Brash allowed a two-run homer to pinch hitter Giancarlo Stanton in the eighth and Andres Munoz surrendered a two-strike single to Austin Wells with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth.

It was Munoz's sixth blown save in 27 chances this season.

Before Judge's game-winner, Woo carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and allowed two runs in 7 1/3 outstanding innings

Woo held the Yankees hitless until allowing consecutive singles to Jazz Chisholm and Ben Rice on the first two batters of the eighth.

Following a sacrifice fly by Wells, Woo was lifted and Brash allowed the two-run homer to Stanton.

Woo started the game by allowing walks to Jasson Dominguez and Grisham. After the free passes, he struck out Aaron Judge and induced a double play grounder on Chisholm.

Woo finished with five strikeouts, walked two and threw 103 pitches, including 74 four-seam fastballs in the longest outing of his career.

Woo has completed at least six innings in all 18 of his starts this season, surpassing Mark Langston for the second-longest streak to start a season.

The All-Star right-hander was attempting to throw Seattle's seventh no-hitter. James Paxton had the last on May 8, 2018 in Toronto.

New York avoided getting no-hit for the ninth time. The Yankees were last no-hit when Houston's Cristian Javier, Hector Neris and Ryan Presley combined on a no-hitter June 25, 2022 in Yankee Stadium.

Cole Young and Miles Matstrobuoni hit RBI singles off New York starter Marcus Stroman, who allowed two runs on six hits in five innings. Stroman was making his third start since returning from missing two months with left knee inflammation.

Jorge Polanco hit a three-run homer in the seventh for Seattle.

Bregman, 31, has not played since May 23 after going on the injured list with a strained right quadriceps. The Red Sox and Rays play a four-game series that started Thursday night and runs through Sunday, with the season's second half starting for Boston on July 18 at the Chicago Cubs.

"He'll play this weekend," Cora said on Thursday, when Bregman had a full baseball workout with batting and fielding practice. "He'll play two of the games, let's put it that way."

Cora said Bregman will be activated without the routine rehabilitation assignment to a minor league affiliate.

"(Bregman) feels good," Cora said. "We talk about the gap between Triple-A and the big leagues. Physically, he's done everything here. So we trust the at-bat, we trust him. We're gonna roll with it. ... You gain five, six, seven at-bats (with a rehab assignment). Why not get them here?"

Bregman is batting .299 with 11 home runs, 35 RBIs, 17 doubles, a .385 on-base percentage and a .553 slugging percentage in 51 games. Despite missing so much time, he was selected as a reserve for the American League squad in Tuesday's All-Star Game in Atlanta.

The now three-time All-Star will not play in that game, but he will take the field this weekend at third base rather than easing in as a designated hitter. He won the AL Gold Glove at third base with Houston last season.

"My biggest concern is the defensive part of it, the nine innings out there, going into the dugout, going back and forth, the pop-up down the line, the bunts and all that," Cora said. "But he's checked almost every box. We've still got today, but he feels like he's in a great place and we're going to trust the player."

Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million deal during the offseason to join the Red Sox after nine seasons with Houston, where he won World Series titles with the Astros in 2017 and 2022.

He is a career .274 hitter with 202 home runs and 698 RBIs in parts of 10 seasons with the Astros (2016-24) and Red Sox.

Spencer Steer homered while Austin Hays had three RBIs thanks to a pair of singles for the Reds, who won the final two games of the series. Cincinnati is the only team in the majors that has not been swept this season.

Elly De La Cruz also had two hits, including a run-scoring single in the sixth, and a stolen base.

The Marlins, whose franchise-record 11-game road winning streak was snapped Wednesday, lost consecutive games for the first time since June 18-19. The defeat was just the sixth in the last 19 games for Miami.

The shutout loss was the first for the Marlins since June 21, when they were blanked 7-0 by the Atlanta Braves. Four players had a hit apiece Thursday for Miami, which recorded just 11 hits in the final two games of the series after outscoring the Reds 17-3 on Monday and Tuesday.

Lodolo (6-6) allowed three hits and walked none while striking out four over six innings. The left-hander allowed just one runner to get beyond second base. It was the longest scoreless effort for Lodolo since April 27, when he twirled seven innings in an 8-1 win over the host Colorado Rockies.

The Marlins mounted their biggest threat in the seventh against Graham Ashcraft, who allowed a single and a pair of walks before inducing pinch hitter Liam Hicks to ground into an inning-ending double play.

The Reds' Tony Santillan worked around a leadoff walk in the eighth and reliever Scott Barlow got two outs in the ninth before Sam Moll retired Javier Sanoja on a fly out.

Marlins starter Cal Quantrill (3-8) took the loss after giving up all six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings. The right-hander is winless in his last nine starts dating back to May 18.

Orioles starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano (7-5) gave up two first-inning runs and then settled in to complete six innings. He allowed three runs on four hits with three walks and two strikeouts.

Relievers Andrew Kittredge, Gregory Soto and Seranthony Dominguez each worked a shutout inning. The Orioles have won five of their last six games.

Baltimore hadn't swept a doubleheader since June 2016 vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Mets have lost three of their last four games. Brandon Nimmo had two of the team's five hits.

Justin Hagenman (0-1) took the loss in relief, yielding three runs (two earned) on four hits in two innings. Brandon Waddell was the starting pitcher for New York, giving up three runs in three innings.

The Orioles won the first game 3-1 by scoring all their runs in the eighth inning. Henderson was the Game 1 hero with a go-ahead, two-run homer.

In the second game, Westburg collected three RBIs, Alex Jackson had two doubles and scored two runs and Cedric Mullins added two hits.

New York got going early, as Nimmo led off the game with a single and Francisco Lindor doubled. Juan Soto plated the game's first run on a groundout and Pete Alonso hit a sacrifice fly.

Baltimore answered in the second inning with Jackson's run-scoring double followed by Westburg's two-run homer. It marked Westburg's 10th homer of the season.

After the Mets pulled even on Brett Baty's RBI single in the fourth, the Orioles went back to work.

They scored on Colton Cowser's single and a Mets error in the fifth. Fielder's choice grounders by Westburg and Ramon Laureano provided runs in the sixth.

The doubleheader was scheduled following Wednesday night's rainout.

Ray, 33, is scheduled to pitch on Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. He is 9-3 this season with a 2.63 ERA, one complete game, 42 walks and 122 strikeouts in 113 innings over 19 starts.

Peterson is a first-time All-Star and will join Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (starter), first baseman Pete Alonso and closer Edwin Diaz on the NL squad.

The 29-year-old Peterson also pitched on Thursday, but it was not all good news as the Mets fell to the host Baltimore Orioles 3-1 in the first game of a doubleheader. He started and went seven-plus innings, allowing one run (in the eighth) on five hits with no walks and six strikeouts but did not figure in the decision.

Peterson is 6-4 with a 3.06 ERA with one complete-game shutout, 37 walks and 93 strikeouts in 108 innings over 18 starts.

Ray was an All-Star in 2017 for the Arizona Diamondbacks and the American League Cy Young winner in 2021 with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Giants also will be represented on Tuesday by right-hander Logan Webb and reliever Randy Rodriguez.

"Elia was a valued contributor to the Phillies for much of his half century in professional baseball," the team said in a statement. "The third base coach for the 1980 World Series championship team, he also spent time in the organization as a minor league player, manager, scout and director of instruction.

"Affiliated with 10 different organizations throughout his distinguished career, he always considered himself a Phillie at heart."

Elia managed the Chicago Cubs in 1982-83, with the teams a combined 127-158 (.446). He guided the Phillies from 1987-88 for a 111-142-1 (.439) mark, for a total managerial record of 238-300-1 (.442) over four seasons.

He made his major league debut as a shortstop for the Chicago White Sox in April 1966 and played in 80 games. The Cubs purchased his contract in May 1967 and he played in 15 games in the 1968 season. He batted a combined .203 with three home runs and 25 RBIs in 95 MLB games.

The Phillies initially signed the Philadelphia native as an amateur free agent in September 1958 after he attended the University of Delaware. They traded him to the White Sox in December 1964.

Elia, born on July 16, 1937, also coached and served in other capacities with the Phillies, New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Baltimore Orioles between 1980 and 2008.

Rea (7-3) scattered three hits and struck out five in seven innings in what became a light workout behind Chicago's offensive barrage. Crow-Armstrong was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored and Seiya Suzuki added three hits.

The Cubs collected 14 total hits and after taking a 1-0 lead in the second, Crow-Armstrong's two-run blast to center field made it 3-0. He led off the seventh inning with another long home run that put the Cubs in front 7-1.

Armstrong, who now has 25 home runs this season, also collected his 21st double of the season

Third baseman Royce Lewis had two of Minnesota's four hits and the Twins' lone run came on Kody Clemens' solo shot with one out in the fifth.

Michael Busch added two RBIs for Chicago, which avoided a three-game sweep. Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner each finished with two hits and one RBI.

The Twins lost for only the second time in their past six games.

Twins right-hander Chris Paddack gave up six runs on 11 hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out two.

Cubs relievers Brad Keller and Daniel Palencia pitched one scoreless inning apiece to seal the victory.

Chicago started the scoring in the second. Swanson hit a one-out double to left and scored two batters later on Hoerner's single to center.

Matt Shaw added a sacrifice fly in the fourth to put Chicago on top 4-0.

The hot hitting continued in the fifth. Busch and Swanson hit back-to-back, run-scoring singles. That pushed the Cubs' lead to 6-0 and chased Paddack from the game at the end of the inning.

Rooker, who was named to the American League All-Star roster as a reserve Sunday, has 19 home runs and 50 RBIs through 94 games after hitting 39 home runs last season and 30 in 2023.

Rooker's intent to participate comes after the Tampa Bay Rays' Junior Caminero joined the eight-player field Wednesday. Caminero has 22 home runs and 58 RBIs in 87 games of his first full major league season.

Other confirmed participants include Oneil Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Ronald Acuna Jr. of the Atlanta Braves, Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners, James Wood of the Washington Nationals and Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins.

Among the players to turn down an invite to the eight-player field are two-time champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets, Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies and 2024 runner-up Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals.

Defending champion Teoscar Hernandez of the Los Angeles Dodgers recently turned down a spot as a consideration to nagging injuries.

Top power threats Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers also are expected to skip the event.

The move gives the Orioles four of the first 37 and seven of the top 93 selections in the draft. The first three rounds will take place on Sunday, with Rounds 4-20 on Monday.

Baker, 30, was 3-2 with a 3.52 ERA and two saves in a team-high 42 relief appearances with Baltimore this season.

He is 12-9 with a 3.70 ERA and three saves in 174 career games (two starts) with the Toronto Blue Jays (2021) and Orioles.

Mets starter David Peterson cruised through seven shutout innings before yielding Colton Cowser's lead-off single in the eighth and he was replaced by Ryne Stanek, who surrendered Henderson's 11th home run of the season. The Orioles tacked on another run later in the inning on Ramon Laureano's sacrifice fly.

Grant Wolfram, who was added to the Baltimore roster as the extra player because of the doubleheader, pitched scoreless seventh and eighth innings with four strikeouts to record his first victory in the major leagues in his third appearance. Felix Bautista worked the ninth for his 18th save.

Peterson finished the seven-plus innings by allowing five hits and striking out six without a walk. Stanek (2-5) took the loss.

Tyrone Taylor drove in New York's run and was part of a key defensive play. Mark Vientos, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning, had two of the Mets' five hits.

Orioles starter Charlie Morton was in danger of suffering a loss for the first time in more than two months before the eighth-inning runs. He worked six innings, giving up one run on four hits with three walks and four strikeouts.

This was the second game of the series after the Mets won in 10 innings Tuesday night.

Peterson held the Orioles to three singles in five innings, with one runner erased at third base on Taylor's throw from center field.

New York scored first when Brett Baty led off the fifth with a walk, stole second base and scored on Taylor's double.

Vientos doubled to begin the sixth but was left stranded as Morton struck out two of the next three batters.

The Mets stranded four runners through three innings. The Orioles had a runner reach third base with two outs in the fourth before Ramon Urias lined out to left field on the 11th pitch of an at-bat.

The twin bill was necessary after Wednesday night's rainout.
