Cano (2-1) allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over 1.1 innings without walking a batter to earn the win over the Brewers on Sunday.

Cano gave up a seventh-inning solo shot to Blake Perkins that briefly put the Brewers ahead. The Orioles rallied for two runs in their half of the frame and held the lead from there to get Cano his second win in seven outings. The setup man has added a hold, a blown save and a loss, but he's generally been solid so far. He's also at a 6:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings this season. Craig Kimbrel remains the Orioles' closer, but Cano is very near the top of the leverage ladder for times when Kimbrel is unavailable.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Giants.

Paredes ended a three-game hitless streak with an RBI single in the third frame. Four innings later, he blasted a solo home run -- his fifth long ball of the campaign. Paredes has played in 14 of the Rays' 15 games this season and has hit cleanup on 12 occasions.

Butler went 3-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

After collecting three strikeouts Saturday, Butler rebounded by reaching base in all four plate appearances and collecting the first three-hit game of his career Sunday. Included amongst the three hits for Butler was his third double of the season. Butler's performance Sunday managed to raise his batting average from .163 to .211 with one homer, three RBI and three runs scored.

Bolton (illness) could be ready to return from the injured list when first eligible next Sunday, SeattleSports.com reports.

General manager Justin Hollander said Bolton, who is dealing with kidney stones, is feeling much better. The right-hander had gotten off to a solid start this season before coming down with the ailment, posting a 3.00 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across six innings over his first four appearances.

Clase is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma if Dominic Canzone is placed on the injured list due to the left AC joint sprain he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Cubs, MLB.com reports.

Clase has opened the minor-league season swinging a blistering bat -- he's compiled a .308/.404/.641 slash line with seven extra-base hits (three doubles, two triples, two home runs), 11 RBI, two stolen bases and eight runs across 47 plate appearances over 11 games. The speedy 21-year-old already has 55- and 61-steal tallies in two separate minor-league campaigns, and he's played both left field and center field for Tacoma thus far this season.

Miller struck out all three batters he faced as he tossed a perfect ninth inning to pick up his third save Sunday against the Nationals.

Miller needed just 13 pitches to strike out the Nationals in order and preserve the victory for Oakland. Miller has converted all three of his save opportunities, with each of those occurring over his last three outings. During that stretch, he's allowed zero baserunners and has struck out seven of the nine batters he has faced.

Wood did not factor into the decision, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks over 4.1 innings during Sunday's 7-6 win over the Nationals. He struck out four.

Wood needed 100 pitches to collect 13 outs, allowing 11 baserunners and four runs in the process. A Lane Thomas homer in the fifth left him on the hook for a three-run deficit, but the Oakland bats came to life in the sixth, providing six runs and rendering Wood with merely a no-decision. This is the fourth straight outing to start the season that Wood has failed to make it past five innings, and he now holds an 8.10 ERA and 2.10 WHIP over 16.2 innings through four starts. Those numbers are poor enough to label his hold on a spot in the starting rotation tenuous at best, even with a team like Oakland that could benefit from his veteran presence. His next start is tentatively scheduled to take place next weekend in Cleveland for a matchup with the Guardians.

Semien went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI during Sunday's loss to the Astros.

Semien's second homer of the season came with two on and two out in the ninth inning of a six-run game to cut the final deficit in half. It was the eighth multi-hit game of the season for Semien, who also added a run-scoring double on the day. The two-time All-Star now finds his batting average at .288 with 14 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs during Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Altuve touched up Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi for both of his blasts, leading off the bottom of the first with a shot to left, then adding a second blast in the third. The eight-time All-Star has been off to a scorching start for the Astros, raising his average to .382 with five homers, seven RBI, eight doubles and 14 runs scored through his first 68 at-bats.

Eovaldi (1-1) allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings to take the loss Sunday against the Astros. He struck out three.

Eovaldi had allowed just three runs over 18.2 innings over his first three starts, but the Astros lit him up for five over six innings Sunday. Eovaldi allowed a leadoff homer to Jose Altuve, then allowed a second solo shot to Altuve with one out in the third. The additional three runs were scored in the fourth as Eovaldi allowed five extra-base hits among his eight hits allowed. Despite the poor effort, Eovaldi's ERA remains solid at 2.92 as he heads into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road in a showdown against Atlanta.
