Overview
- Kansas City’s 3-2 win in Seattle on Saturday turned in extras after Mariners starter Emerson Hancock struck out 14 over seven one-run innings, with Michael Massey stealing third as the automatic runner and scoring on Maikel Garcia’s sacrifice fly before Lucas Erceg closed a 1-2-3 tenth.
- Tampa Bay improved to 20-12 with wins in 15 of 20, holding foes to three runs or fewer in nine straight behind sharp pitching and crisp defense that has carried a shuffled roster.
- The Mets fell 4-3 in 10 innings to the Angels on Saturday on Oswald Peraza’s walk-off single, and manager Carlos Mendoza said shortstop Ronny Mauricio fractured his left thumb on a headfirst slide and is expected to miss about six weeks.
- Houston topped Boston 3-1 in 10 innings at Fenway, the Red Sox said starter Ranger Suárez exited with right hamstring tightness, and Astros first baseman Christian Walker was hit in the head by a pitch late but said he felt OK.
- Off the field, multiple reports said the Padres’ sale to a new group led by Kwanza Jones and José E. Feliciano was announced, signaling a change in control for the franchise.
