Cam Smith homered Tuesday, a couple innings after he walked following three swings and misses thanks to a missed call.
Garrett Crochet was knocked for five runs in Wednesday's loss.

Overview

  • Cam Schlittler, who worked 6 1/3 scoreless frames Wednesday in a 5-3 win at Seattle, pushed Yankees starters to two runs allowed in 33 2/3 innings, the fewest by any rotation through six games since 1900.
  • MLB says New York gave up only three runs across its first five games, tying the 1943 St. Louis Cardinals for the fewest allowed through five to start a season.
  • Max Fried has opened with 13 1/3 shutout innings over two starts, and Giancarlo Stanton has posted multi-hit games in each of the first five, batting .500.
  • Houston has outscored Boston 17-3 through the first two games of their set, as the Red Sox piled up strikeouts and burned low-leverage automated ball-strike challenges in a 9-2 loss.
  • The Mets’ slow start at the plate continued in a 2-1, 11-inning defeat in St. Louis, where Masyn Wynn delivered a walk-off single after New York twice failed to plate its extra-innings runner.
