Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres — 6–3

Shohei Ohtani made his first mound appearance in nearly two years, touching 100.2 mph on a fastball and allowing one run over an inning, then added an RBI double in the third and a run-scoring single in the fourth. Max Muncy’s two-run single and Will Smith’s two hits backed Ben Casparius (5-1) in relief, and Kirby Yates closed out a perfect ninth for his second save.

Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees — 1–0 (11 innings)

Nolan Schanuel broke the deadlock with a broken-bat double in the 11th at Yankee Stadium, and Hunter Strickland retired the side in the ninth to record his second save. Sas Insider’s money-line pick on the Angels (+178) cashed, one of four winning plays on his card.

Oakland Athletics vs. Houston Astros — 3–1

Rookie Nick Kurtz cranked a two-run walk-off homer with no outs in the ninth, capping Oakland’s four-game winning streak. JJ Bleday also went deep, and Mason Miller (1-2) fanned two in a perfect top of the ninth.

Boston Red Sox vs. Seattle Mariners — 2–0

Roman Anthony slugged his first big-league homer, and Lucas Giolito struck out a season-high ten over six shutout innings. Aroldis Chapman punched out the side in the ninth for his 13th save. Sas Insider’s under 7½ total wager cashed, fueling his plus-$458 day.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Baltimore Orioles — 7–1

Josh Lowe launched his first career leadoff homer, and Jake Mangum finished 3-for-4 with three RBIs as Tampa Bay pounded out 14 hits. Ryan Pepiot (4-6) struck out 11 over eight innings. Sas Insider’s under 9 total bet on BAL vs. TB also won, extending his hot stretch.

Colorado Rockies vs. Washington Nationals — 6–4

Mickey Moniak’s two-run walk-off blast capped a three-run ninth against Kyle Finnegan (0-2), lifting Colorado and deepening Washington’s slide to nine straight home losses. Sas Insider’s money-line pick on Colorado (+180) hit, keeping him profitable.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Miami Marlins — 5–2

Kyle Schwarber’s three-run homer in the fourth keyed Philadelphia’s win at LoanDepot Park, and Ranger Suárez scattered four hits over seven innings. Sas Insider’s lone setback came with his money-line pick on Miami (+110), ending the day 4-1.
