After four consecutive losses to begin their road trip, the Yankees were able to snap that streak with a win in Baltimore. Meanwhile, in Milwaukee, the Brewers continued right where they left off after sweeping the Yankees. Christian Yelich is back, and the Brewers were able to pick up another win.
Yankees beat O’s
The Yankees won 6-2 to snap their four-game losing streak.
New York (AL) got the scoring off fast, thanks to a Paul Goldschmidt lead-off home run off Trevor Rogers. The Yankees did very well off Rogers, who returned from the IL on the 12th. He conceded two home runs off the fastball, one to Goldschmidt and the other to Trent Grisham.
Rogers only lasted four innings.
Will Warren struck out six over 5.2 innings before he handed it off to the bullpen.
Brewers take opener with San Diego
Brandon Sproat (36.6% Whiff%) struck out six for the Brewers, as Milwaukee defeated the Padres 6-4. It was Sproat’s first career big-league win.
Milwaukee’s offense tagged Matt Waldron, who now has an ERA of 9.28 after he gave up six earned runs over 2.2 IP. Joey Ortiz hit his first home run of the year, and everyone in the lineup aside from Christian Yelich had at least one hit.
Skenes outstanding
Paul Skenes spun another gem for the Pirates, as he won his sixth game and lowered his 2026 season ERA to 1.98.
Skenes struck out 10 over eight scoreless innings in a start where he only allowed two hits. His 19 swings-and-misses were most on the day across Major League Baseball. Gregory Soto finished the job in a 3-1 win, although he did allow a run in the ninth.
Oneil Cruz had three hits and two runs scored on the day.
Three-game winning streaks
Five teams have win streaks of three games as of the 13th.
The Rays’ bullpen spoiled a gem by Shane McClanahan in a game that went to extras. But in the 10th inning, Taylor Walls and Jonathan Aranda drove in runs in a 7-6 victory.
Bailey Ober threw a Maddux on the 12th, as Ober struck out seven over nine shutout innings, and he only tossed 89 pitches. The Twins won 3-0.
Also, in the AL Central, the White Sox defeated the Royals 6-5, thanks to a three-run home run by Derek Hill in the eighth inning.
In Atlanta, Didier Fuentes and Grant Holmes combined to allow just one run over seven. The Braves defeated the Cubs 5-2 in what is an important early-season matchup against the Cubs.
The Phillies won their third straight, as well. Zack Wheeler tossed 7.1 strong innings against the Red Sox.
