The Rangers got to Miller in the fourth. With one out, Garcia lined a 3-1 sinker to straightaway center that went just over the glove of a leaping Julio Rodriguez at the wall.

Carter then hit an 0-1 splitter just over the wall in right-center to put the Rangers up 2-1.

The error allowed Langford to score from first to make it 4-1.

Springer had two of Toronto's six hits as the Blue Jays left seven runners on base and were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

Both teams suffered in temperatures that, with the wind chill, felt like 33 degrees on the field at the start of the game.

The Cubs' big lead only lasted until the third inning, when Houston cut the margin in half with a small-ball rally.

Jon Singleton singled to lead off the frame. After a walk to Victor Caratini, Singleton scored when first baseman Busch made an errant throw after Jake Meyers dropped a sacrifice bunt to the mound.

Caratini scored on Alex Bregman's chopper to second base, pulling Houston within 4-2.

In the top of the ninth, Jose Altuve greeted former Astros teammate Hector Neris, the Cubs' closer, with a 390-foot, line-drive home run to left to slice the deficit to 4-3. It was Altuve's sixth long ball of the year.

The Braves improved to 5-1 against Miami and are 3-0 in extra innings.

Atlanta had a chance to win it in the ninth. The Braves had runners on first and second with one out when Acuna grounded into a double play, the fourth turned by the Marlins.

The Marlins ended a 21-inning scoreless streak in the second inning when Jesus Sanchez hit a 431-foot solo homer to right field, his second. It was Miami's first run of the series.

The Braves got the run back in the third when Olson ended a career-long 0-for-25 streak with a double. He scored on Ozuna's single to right field.

The Miami comeback ruined another outstanding start from Reynaldo Lopez, who notched his fourth straight quality start to start the season. Lopez pitched seven innings and allowed one run on three hits, two walks and six strikeouts.

Sixto Sanchez, making his first start of the season for the Marlins, lasted only 2 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs on five hits, one walk, one hit batter and three strikeouts.

Judge hit his fourth homer of the season after Oakland starting pitcher Joe Boyle (1-4) was called for a balk. Doyle was called for the balk after throwing a called third strike to Judge, who began walking back to the dugout before returning to finish the at-bat.

After the balk, Judge lined a fastball into the right-field seats to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead. It was Judge's 261st career homer and the slugger passed former captain Derek Jeter for ninth place on the Yankees' all-time list.

Judge also singled in the third for his first multi-hit game since April 13 and fourth of the season.

Anthony Rizzo homered for the second straight game and Juan Soto also homered as the Yankees won for the fifth time in seven games.

After Judge's homer, the Yankees added two in the fourth off Michael Kelly.

Austin Wells opened the inning with a bunt single and scored when Volpe's sinking liner went past Oakland right fielder Lawrence Butler, who was charging the ball.

After Soto made it 4-0 with a sacrifice fly in the fourth, Rizzo homered into the right-field seats off Kelly in the fifth. Rooker's drive to left got Oakland within 5-3 but Soto hit his sixth homer of the season in the sixth as his drive barely cleared the center-field fence.

Trailing 5-4, the Rays tied it in the sixth against reliever Will Vest (1-1) on Ben Rortvedt's RBI single. Mead then slugged a two-run shot, his first long ball of the season, down the left field line.

The ball sailed high and landed beyond the foul pole's 315-foot marker for his second career homer, helping the Rays snap a three-game losing streak.

Randy Arozarena hit a solo shot, and Rortvedt went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and two RBIs. Tampa Bay's Yandy Diaz and Isaac Paredes had two hits apiece.

Though he allowed two runs in the top of the sixth, his only inning, Chris Devenski (1-1) picked up the win.

Rays reliever Tyler Alexander followed opener Shawn Armstrong and retired the first eight Tigers he faced, but he allowed two runs on three hits in four innings in his first appearance against his former club.

Detroit's Matt Vierling went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run. Mark Canha hit a two-run single as the Tigers lost for the first time in four games.

Tigers starter Jack Flaherty rebounded after allowing all four runs against him in the first two frames. He lasted five innings and gave up seven hits while striking out six and issuing no walks.

Armstrong, after allowing a leadoff single in the first to Riley Greene and walking Wenceel Perez, stumbled during his delivery and balked the pair into scoring position. Greene then scored on a groundout by Spencer Torkelson.

In the bottom of the frame, the slumping Arozarena got back on track by sending out a 3-1 slider from Flaherty out to straightaway left for a 1-1 tie. It was his third homer and first since March 31.

The home club strung together a three-run second on an RBI double by Rortvedt and run-scoring singles by Jose Caballero and Diaz to go ahead 4-1.

Canha ripped a two-out, two-run single in the fifth, pulling Detroit within one.

The Tigers evened it up against Devenski in the sixth when Buddy Kennedy singled home Vierling, who had sliced a triple to right. Kennedy stole second and gave Detroit its first lead on Javier Baez's double.

Ryan Brasier and Ryan Yarbrough pitched in relief for Los Angeles.

Nationals starter Jake Irvin (1-2) lasted only 4 2/3 innings after baffling the Dodgers in a previous meeting. This time, he allowed six runs on 12 hits.

Nick Senzel smacked his second home run of the season for Washington, which won two of three last week in Los Angeles and now will go into Thursday's game hoping to avoid a series sweep.

The Dodgers were relentless against Irvin across the first five innings after waiting until late in Tuesday night's game to get the offense clicking.

Smith had three singles and a double before the sixth inning.

Smith's two-out single in the first inning drove in Ohtani, who had doubled. That was a breakthrough considering Irvin blanked the Dodgers for six innings in last week's matchup.

Betts added a two-run single in the second. After Senzel's homer and Joey Meneses' bases-loaded walker in the second got the Nationals going, the Dodgers struck again.

Max Muncy's run-scoring single in the third gave Los Angeles at least one run in each of the first three innings.

Lax drove in two runs in the fifth, doubling his season RBI total with one swing. Pages drilled his second homer of the season in the eighth before Ohtani's RBI double.

Milwaukee, which lost the first two games of the four-game series, is 5-2 in its past seven.

Reliever Bryan Hudson (2-0) gave up one hit in 1 2/3 innings for Milwaukee, and Joel Payamps stepped in for the final inning to pick up his fourth save.

Fleming (1-1) allowed one hit, walked two and was charged with two unearned runs in 2 1/3 innings. He fanned one.

The Brewers had a chance to add to their lead in the top of the sixth after another Pirates pitching change. Frelick and Turang each singled, but Frelick was picked off attempting to steal home with Contreras at the plate.

The Phillies knocked Lodolo from the game in the sixth when Whit Merrifield and Edmundo Sosa opened with singles. Johan Rojas singled home Merrifield to make it 3-1 Phillies. Lodolo was charged with three runs on six hits over five-plus innings. He walked three and struck out four.

Despite allowing just one run on three hits and throwing 89 pitches, Philadelphia starter Spencer Turnbull was pulled after five innings. He had three walks and eight strikeouts.

The Phillies' bullpen could not hold the lead as Seranthony Dominguez (1-1) yielded Espinal's to right that tied the game, 3-3, in the bottom of the sixth.

Dominguez was charged with all four runs in the sixth on two hits and two walks, retiring just two batters.

The Phillies got to reliever Emilio Pagan for a run in the seventh when Merrifield's double down the right field line glanced off Benson's glove to score Trea Turner.

But with runners on second and third and one out, Cincinnati reliever Fernando Cruz repeated his clutch effort of the night before, striking out Sosa and retiring pinch hitter Brandon Marsh on a deep fly to right.

Wong entered Wednesday with three home runs this season, then delivered solo shots in the second and sixth innings off Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco (1-2) for his second career two-homer game. Wong, who also had an RBI single during a two-run ninth, has five homers in nine career games vs. the Guardians.

Abreu, who had two doubles and an RBI, is 13-for-25 in his past six games. Meanwhile, Criswell (1-1), pressed into action due to injuries, yielded three hits without issuing a walk in his fourth career start. He fanned three.

Criswell and two Boston relievers stymied the Guardians, who entered the contest a major-league-best 17-6. Jose Ramirez doubled for one of Cleveland's four hits as the hosts had their five-game winning streak end while being shut out by Boston for the second time in 2024.

The Red Sox wasted no time getting to Carrasco in the first. Devers singled and scored on Abreu's double into the left-center-field gap. An inning later, Wong cleared the wall in straightaway center field. Boston made it 3-0 in the fifth when Devers went deep over the tall wall in left-center field.

Wong put Boston up 4-0 in the sixth when he found the left field porch. Carrasco's night ended right after via a single by Pablo Reyes, who eventually scored on Ceddanne Rafaela's base hit off Tyler Beede.

Devers then dropped the ball just inside the left field foul line for an RBI ground-rule double to cap a three-run sixth.

Carrasco was charged with five runs and nine hits in five-plus innings.

Jose Suarez relieved Anderson to start the sixth and gave up a leadoff double to James McCann and a walk to Colton Cowser. Jorge Mateo followed with a ground-rule double just out of the reach of a diving Ward in left, scoring McCann for a 3-0 lead.

Henderson then lined a two-run single to center for a 5-0 lead. Another run came home on a double play to make it 6-0.

Jo Adell delivered the first hit of the game for the Angels with two outs in the fifth and Trout broke up the shutout with his major league-leading 10th homer of the season in the sixth to cut the deficit to 6-1.

Kremer departed after walking the next batter and Ward followed with a two-run shot off Jacob Webb to make it 6-3.

Neto went deep on the first pitch of the eighth off Yennier Cano to further trim the lead to 6-4.

Craig Kimbrel came out for the ninth and gave up a leadoff infield single to Ehire Adrianza, who continued to third on a two-base throwing error by Mateo at second. Adrianza scored on a groundout by Logan O'Hoppe to cut it to 6-5 before Kimbrel shut the door on his seventh save.

Capping a six-game California swing with a third win, the Mets jumped on Giants relievers Sean Hjelle (0-1) and Landen Roupp for six early runs as San Francisco had to resort to a bullpen day with starter Blake Snell scratched because of a strained left adductor.

Snell, the defending National League Cy Young Award winner who has yet to record a win this season, was placed on the 15-day injured list.

The Mets took advantage of the makeshift replacement crew, starting in the third, when Lindor launched his first two-run shot to open the scoring. It came off Hjelle, who had taken over for opener Ryan Walker an inning earlier.

Tyrone Taylor added a solo shot in the fourth before the Mets doubled their advantage with a three-run fifth against Roupp. A two-out single by Pete Alonso and walk to Brett Baty set the stage for a two-run double by Taylor and an RBI single by Jeff McNeil.

New York starter Sean Manaea, who played for the Giants last season, pitched into and out of trouble on multiple occasions in his 4 2/3 innings, leaving the bases loaded in the second and picking Austin Slater off second base to quiet a two-on threat in the third.

When the Giants, down 6-0, put two aboard again in the fifth with one out, Manaea was allowed to face Michael Conforto, who he struck out, before being asked to hand the ball to reliever Reed Garrett one out shy of qualifying for what could have been his second win of the season.

Garrett (4-0) retained the shutout by getting Jorge Soler to pop out, then pitched into the seventh to get the win.

One of two hits Garrett allowed in his two innings was a solo homer by Tyler Fitzgerald.

Lindor capped the visitors' scoring with his second homer of the day and fourth of the season, a two-run bomb off Mitch White in the ninth, after which the Giants added a run in the last of the inning on an Alonso error.

Lindor finished with four hits and four RBIs, while Taylor had three RBIs to complement his two hits and two runs. McNeil contributed a double and a single to a 10-hit attack.

Wilmer Flores had two hits for the Giants, who had a two-game winning streak end.

In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays called up their No. 6 prospect, Addison Barger. He's expected to be active for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Kiermaier left Tuesday night's loss to the Royals in the sixth inning and was replaced in the lineup by Cavan Biggio. Daulton Varsho replaced Kiermaier in center field. Kiermaier was 0-for-2 with a sac bunt.

Kiermaier, who just turned 34 on Monday, is batting .193 with five runs scored. He's a career .249 hitter with 90 home runs and 128 stolen bases. He's a four-time Gold Glove winner.

The 24-year-old Barger's first game will mark his major league debut. The Jays' sixth-round pick in 2018 is batting .314 with three HRs and 21 RBIs in 19 games at Triple-A Buffalo.

The Cubs called up their top prospect, Pete Crow-Armstrong, in a corresponding move. Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced the moves in a radio interview.

Bellinger was injured during Tuesday night's win over the Houston Astros after running into the center field wall chasing down a ball. He left after the fifth inning with what the team called bruised ribs. Bellinger hit a two-run homer in three at bats before departing.

Bellinger, in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, is up to .226 on the season with five home runs and 17 RBIs.

He's a lifetime .257 hitter with 183 career home runs for the Los Angeles Dodgers (2017-22) and Cubs.

Crow-Armstrong, 22, made his major league debut last September and went 0-for-14 with three walks. He's batting .203 with two home runs, five doubles and seven RBIs at Triple-A Iowa this season.

After defeating the Cardinals 14-1 Tuesday, the Diamondbacks left seven runners on base, went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and hit into three double plays.

Cardinals starting pitcher Kyle Gibson (2-2) allowed one run on five hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked two.

JoJo Romero, Andrew Kittredge, Ryan Helsley pitched a scoreless relief inning each for St. Louis.

Arizona starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (1-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits in seven innings. He struck out four and walked one.

The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 first-inning lead. Pavin Smith and Blaze Alexander hit singles and Gibson hit Joc Pederson with a pitch. After Christian Walker hit a sacrifice fly, Gibson got a double-play grounder from Eugenio Suarez.

Arizona threatened again in the second inning. Jake McCarthy hit a single and took second on a wild pitch, but Gibson retired the next three batters

Paul Goldschmidt led off the bottom of the inning with a double, but Montgomery retired the next three batters.

Gibson escaped a fourth-inning jam. Walker hit a leadoff single, Corbin Carroll drew a two-out walk, and the runners advanced on a wild pitch before Gibson struck out Kevin Newman.

The Diamondbacks threatened again in the fifth inning when Tucker Barnhart led off with a single and Smith walked. But again Gibson retired the next three batters.

The Cardinals moved ahead 2-1 in the sixth inning. Brendan Donovan's single, Willson Contreras' double, and Nolan Arenado's single led to one run -- and Montgomery's wild pitch produced another.

St. Louis increased its lead to 3-1 in the seventh inning when Masyn Winn reached on an error and scored on a Nolan Gorman's hit-and-run single.

The Cardinals made it 5-1 off reliever Bryce Jarvis in the eighth inning. Arenado walked, Goldschmidt hit a single, Pedro Pages walked and Nootbaar hit his a two-run double.

The team recalled RHP Zack Kelly from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.

Bello is the latest injury for the Red Sox, who have a league-leading 13 players on the IL, including rotation hurlers Lucas Giolito (elbow surgery), Nick Pivetta (elbow strain) and Garrett Whitlock (oblique strain).

Bello is 3-1 with a 3.04 ERA in five starts. He last pitched Friday, earning the win over Pittsburgh. His IL stint is retroactive to Sunday.

Bello is 17-20 with a 4.22 ERA in 46 career appearances (44 starts) in three seasons with the Red Sox.

Kelly is 1-0 with a 3.91 ERA in 21 career relief appearances for Boston but has not appeared in a game yet this season. He has one save and has not allowed a run in six appearances (9 IP) at Worcester.

Right-hander Landen Roupp was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants, who tabbed right-hander Ryan Walker (2-2, 3.46 ERA) to make his first start of the season on Wednesday against the visiting New York Mets.

Walker, 28, worked a scoreless inning of relief in San Francisco's 5-2 win over New York on Monday.

Snell, 31, is 0-3 with an 11.57 ERA in three starts. He has yet to recapture the form that allowed him to secure his second Cy Young Award while pitching for the San Diego Padres in 2023.

Snell owns a 71-58 record with a 3.30 ERA in 194 career games (all starts) with the Tampa Bay Rays, Padres and Giants.

Roupp, 25, has registered a 4.35 ERA without making a decision in eight relief appearances this season with San Francisco.
