Naylor brothers put on a show for Siblings Day

-

Bo Naylor and Josh Naylor delivered RBI hits in the 10th inning as the Guardians rallied for a 7-6 win over the White Sox in Cleveland.

Josh Naylor tied it with an RBI double before turning it over to his little brother — on National Siblings Day.

With the bases loaded, Bo Naylor, who hit a two-run homer earlier in the game — the same inning his brother connected — dropped his single into right field off former Guardians reliever Bryan Shaw (0-1) as Cleveland came back after trailing 5-0.

Eli Morgan (1-0) picked up the win as the Guardians improved to 9-3, their best start since going 11-1 in 2002.

The White Sox fell to 2-10 amid a rash of major injuries, now including third baseman Yoan Moncada who went on the injured list Wednesday and will miss at least three months, and possibly six, recovering from a left adductor strain.

Marlins harpoon Yankees

Jake Burger hit a three-run homer on his 28th birthday and the Marlins beat the Yankees, 5-2, in New York for just their second win this season.

Ryan Weathers (1-1) allowed three hits and three walks in five scoreless innings for the Marlins, who at 2-11 had matched the team record for worst 12-game start set in 1998. Weathers got his first big league win in almost a year, since defeating the Mets for San Diego on April 11 last year.

New York dropped to 10-3 as the Marlins stopped the Yankees’ four-game winning streak.

Giancarlo Stanton homered in the sixth off Bryan Hoeing for his third home run in five games and fourth this season. Stanton’s home run was his first against the Marlins — his original team — and he has now homered against all 30 clubs.

Wild opening for Rays

José Caballero homered, Tampa Bay scored two runs on a wild pitch in the first inning, and the Rays wrapped up their road trip with a 4-2 victory over the Angels on Wednesday in Anaheim.

Zack Littell allowed just one run despite giving up six hits and three walks while pitching into the fifth inning for Tampa Bay, which won four of five after losing the first game of the trip at Colorado last week.

Jo Adell homered and Zach Neto had an RBI single for the Angels, who have lost three of four. Los Angeles has also lost three of its first four series this season after closing out this 2-4 homestand.

Mariners avoid Jays sweep

Cal Raleigh hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning and the Mariners beat the Blue Jays, 6-1, to avoid a three-game sweep in Toronto. Raleigh connected on the first pitch he saw from Blue Jays lefthander

Tim Mayza (0-1) for his second homer of the season.

Ty France hit an RBI double and Mitch Haniger added a two-run single in the fiverun 10th as Seattle snapped a three-game losing streak and won for the second time in eight games.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his third home run of the season, a 459-foot solo blast, but the Blue Jays left the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.

Twins finally win at home

Edouard Julien homered twice and scored three runs for the Twins to spark a slumping lineup and lead a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers in Minneapoli­s.

Julien, who entered the afternoon in a 3-for-28 start to the season, led off the first and fifth innings with opposite-field drives into the bleachers in left for his first career multi-homer game.

Max Muncy led off the fourth inning with a home run for the Dodgers, whose opportunit­y to tie the game in the sixth was thwarted when Shohei Ohtani — who went 1 for 3 with a walk — was thrown out at the plate to end that inning.

Hicks stays hot for Giants

Nick Ahmed and Tyler Fitzgerald had three hits apiece and Jordan Hicks allowed one run in six innings as the Giants avoided a three-game series sweep with a 5-1 win over the Nationals in San Francisco.

Hicks (2-0) has allowed one earned run or less in each of his first three starts this season after signing a $44 million, fouryear contract with San Francisco this offseason. The 27-year-old righthande­r allowed four hits and had two strikeouts.

Astros call up top prospect

Astros top pitching prospect Spencer Arrighetti made his major league debut, giving up seven runs on seven hits in three innings against the Royals. Arrighetti, a 24-year-old righthande­r who was named the Astros’ minor league pitcher of the year in 2023, was called up from Triple A Sugar Land. The Astros optioned righthande­r Wander Suero to Sugar Land to make room.
