MLB Roundup: Skenes Dominates, Ober Spins Two‑Hit Shutout, Mets Rookie Shines as Giants Sink Dodgers

Tuesday’s results underscored elite pitching gains plus a downturn for Los Angeles hitters.

Overview

  • Paul Skenes, who carried a no-hitter into the seventh Tuesday, struck out 10 over eight innings in the Pirates’ 3-1 win over the Rockies to drop his ERA to 1.98.
  • Bailey Ober logged his first career shutout with a two-hitter in the Twins’ 3-0 win over the Marlins, needing just 89 pitches and issuing no walks.
  • Mets rookie A.J. Ewing debuted with an RBI triple, three walks and a steal in a 10-2 win over the Tigers, while catcher Francisco Alvarez exited with a right knee injury set for imaging Wednesday.
  • Giants catcher Eric Haase homered twice off Yoshinobu Yamamoto in a 6-2 win, the first time the Dodgers’ starter has allowed three homers in an MLB game, as Los Angeles’ lineup stayed in a funk with three or fewer runs in 10 of its last 13 games.
  • The Yankees snapped a four-game skid with a 6-2 win in Baltimore behind Paul Goldschmidt’s leadoff homer, and the Guardians beat the Angels 3-2 with Angel Martinez going deep and Cleveland pitchers totaling 13 strikeouts.
