Overview

  • Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer in the ninth on Saturday to lift the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory and end Blue Jays closer Louis Varland’s run of allowing no homers this season.
  • Toronto’s Kevin Gausman delivered seven innings of one-hit, seven-strikeout pitching, but the Blue Jays stranded 10 runners and failed to convert multiple scoring chances.
  • Jasson Domínguez was recalled from a rehab assignment after Trent Grisham’s injury and supplied an immediate impact with a solo homer that tied the game in the fourth.
  • The San Diego Padres erupted for five home runs in a 9-3 win over Baltimore on Saturday while Xander Bogaerts and catcher Freddy Fermin were removed as a precaution after being struck by pitches.
  • Padres reliever Ron Marinaccio was ejected after hitting Gunnar Henderson in the ninth and manager Craig Stammen was also tossed, a sequence that the teams disagree about and that could prompt MLB review and short-term bullpen changes.
