El dominicano de los Yankees de Nueva York Juan Soto batea un sencillo en la octava entrada del juego ante los Medias Blancas de Chicago el sábado 18 de mayo del 2024. NEW YORK — Juan Soto had his first multihomer game with the Yankees, Luis Gil struck out a career-high 14 and New York beat the Chicago White Sox 6-1 on Saturday to extend its winning streak to a season-high six games.
Gil won his fourth straight start and fifth consecutive decision, allowing one run, five hits and one walk in six innings. The 25-year-old right-hander set the Yankees’ rookie record for strikeouts, topping the 13 on Aug. 13, 1998, by Orlando Hernández, who threw out Saturday’s ceremonial first pitch. Gil has given up two runs over 24 1/3 innings in his last four starts.
Four of Tampa Bay’s past six games have been decided by a single run. The others were two-run decisions. Matos put the Giants ahead with a three-run homer in the first inning, hit an RBI double in his second at-bat to give San Francisco a 6-3 lead and then knocked in two more runs in the eighth with a bases-loaded single as part of a six-run inning.MIAMI — Josh Bell hit a tying homer off Edwin Díaz in a four-run ninth inning, the latest costly meltdown by the struggling New York closer, and Otto Lopez singled home the winning run in the 10th as Miami rallied for a victory.
Needing a triple for the cycle — Cleveland’s lone one at home came in 1933 — Ramírez popped to second in the sixth and grounded to first in the seventh. Ross Stripling picked up his league-leading eighth loss. The 34-year-old righty allowed four runs on nine hits with no walks and two strikeouts in five-plus innings.PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper hit a game-winning sacrifice fly in the 10th inning after Kody Clemens tied it with a home run with two outs in the ninth, lifting Philadelphia to a victory over Washington.
Finnegan retired the first two batters in the ninth before Clemens drove a 1-0, 98 mph fastball into the seats in right-center. In limited action this season, Clemens is 7 for 23 with a double, three homers and eight RBIs. Finnegan entered tied for the major-league lead with 13 saves and had his second blown save.HOUSTON — William Contreras hit a go-ahead three-run homer off Justin Verlander in the fifth inning to give Milwaukee Brewers a win over Houston.
Jake Meyers had two hits with a solo homer for the Astros, whose season-long six game winning streak was snapped. The advantage vanished in the seventh, when the Mariners pulled even against Baltimore’s bullpen with three hits, including an RBI double by Ty France to end a 12-pitch at-bat.
