MLB roundup: Cal Raleigh hits 40th HR in M’s win

Mariners 7, Angels 2

Cal Raleigh smashed his 40th homer — the earliest any catcher or switch‑hitter has reached that mark — and Julio Rodríguez went deep again as Seattle trimmed Houston’s AL West cushion to four games. George Kirby struck out nine over six; José Fermin took the loss after failing to record an out.

Phillies 9, Yankees 4

Bryce Harper homered, Kyle Schwarber delivered a two‑run double moments after Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s error, and Philadelphia sent New York to a seventh loss in ten. Postgame tests revealed Aaron Judge has a flexor strain and will hit the IL, reshaping AL‑MVP and division futures overnight.

Red Sox 4, Dodgers 2

Garrett Crochet rebounded from first‑inning blasts by Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández, then carved through L.A. with 10 Ks in six innings. Crochet now owns five starts of 10‑plus strikeouts and ≤2 ER over at least six frames this year.

Blue Jays 6, Tigers 1

Bo Bichette’s two‑run single broke a scoreless deadlock in the eighth, Nathan Lukes later added a two‑run shot and Toronto stretched its surge to eight wins in nine. The Insider’s Reds RL wasn’t the only sharp run‑line hit; Toronto’s late burst salvaged several live ‑1½ tickets.

Reds 6, Rays 2

Elly De La Cruz lashed a two‑run single in the seventh off Garrett Cleavinger to power Cincinnati’s third straight win and complete the Insider’s 2‑0 sweep.

Handicapper Spotlight — Sports Hub Insider stays perfect

Sports Hub Insider delivered another clean sheet, cashing both posted plays on Saturday:

• Reds ‑1½ (+165) — Cincinnati’s late surge over Tampa Bay turned plus‑money run‑line value into a sweat‑free ticket.
• Nationals ML (+198) — Washington’s 9‑3 upset in Minneapolis paid nearly 2‑to‑1 and underscored why disciplined dog plays can turbo‑charge a bankroll.

That 2‑0 card pushed the Insider’s daily profit to +$363 and kept the service atop the site leaderboard at a perfect 100 percent (see the dashboard snippet above).

Marlins 7, Brewers 4

Heriberto Hernandez, Dane Myers and Agustín Ramírez homered as Miami pounded out 12 hits in Milwaukee; Janson Junk beat his former club.

Pirates 2, Diamondbacks 0

Oneil Cruz’s 410‑foot missile supplied all the offense Andrew Heaney and four relievers needed. David Bednar stayed a perfect 16‑for‑16 in save chances.

Orioles 18, Rockies 0

Trevor Rogers and two relievers two‑hit Colorado, while Cedric Mullins and Tyler O’Neill headlined a three‑homer, nine‑run seventh that turned a rout into a laugher.

(Cubs 6‑1 White Sox, Rangers 6‑5 Braves in 10, Royals/Guardians split, Padres 3‑1 Cardinals, Mets 2‑1 Giants, Athletics 5‑1 Astros round out the slate.)
