  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Launches another homer

    Bauers went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run homer in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to Toronto.

    Bauers was responsible for the first runs of Tuesday's game after belting a three-run homer off Kevin Gausman in the fourth inning. Bauers has gone long in three of his last four outings and is up to five homers on the season, which is tied for fifth most in the National League. He has gone 5-for-13 (.385) with seven RBI and three runs scored over his last four games.

  • Mason Miller RP | SD

    Padres' Mason Miller: Records fifth save

    Miller struck out one batter over a perfect inning to notch a save against the Mariners on Tuesday.

    It was a relatively stress-free save for Miller, who entered in the ninth inning with a three-run cushion. Regardless, the flamethrowing righty continued to dominate, retiring the side in order on 15 pitches. Miller is a perfect 5-for-5 in save chances on the campaign and has compiled 29.2 consecutive regular-season scoreless innings dating back to last year. He's been nearly impossible to make contact against this season, allowing just one base knock while posting a 20:1 K:BB through 8.1 frames.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Let down by bullpen

    Misiorowski did not factor into the decision in the Brewers' 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays. He allowed two runs on five hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Misiorowski allowed just two baserunners over the first four innings before giving up home runs to Andres Gimenez and Daulton Varsho in the fifth and sixth, respectively. Misiorowski was still in line for the win despite the two long balls, but he came away with the no-decision after the Brewers' bullpen gave up seven runs, including three in each of the ninth and 10th frames. The 24-year-old right-hander has yet to give up more than three earned runs in a start this season (four starts), and he leads the majors with 33 strikeouts (across 21.2 innings). Misiorowski is slated to start this weekend on the road against the Marlins.

  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Tagged for five runs in loss

    Keller (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Nationals, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks with three strikeouts across four innings.

    Keller had turned in three straight six-inning quality starts to begin the season, so Tuesday was his first hiccup of the 2026 campaign. The Nationals attacked Keller early and often in this one, as the first five batters of the game reached base to push across three runs. CJ Abrams then swatted a solo home run off Keller in the third frame. Keller generated just seven whiffs on 90 pitches and walked four batters for the second time in four starts. The right-hander now owns a 2.86 ERA and 14:9 K:BB across 22 innings. He's slated to face the Rays at home Sunday in his next start.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Posts quality start in no-decision

    Cantillo did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings.

    After opening the game with a strikeout, Cantillo gave up a solo homer to Ivan Herrera and JJ Wetherholt also took him deep in the third, but the left-hander settled in nicely from there. He finished his outing with three scoreless frames and gave Cleveland his first quality start of the season. Cantillo has quietly been one of the more consistent starters early this season, allowing two or fewer runs in all four of his outings while piling up 24 strikeouts across 20.2 innings. The 26-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start at home against a dangerous Baltimore lineup that ranks near the top of the league in several offensive categories.

  • Louie Varland SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Louis Varland: Notches first win of 2026

    Varland (1-1) earned the win against the Brewers on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on two hits while striking out two across 1.1 innings.

    Jeff Hoffman blew his save chance after giving up two runs in the ninth, and after loading the bases, Blue Jays manager John Schneider opted to turn things over to Varland, who promptly struck out Joey Ortiz in three pitches. Varland was brought back out for the 10th to protect the Jays' three-run lead, and he ended the game by punching out Gary Sanchez. Varland has yet to give up an earned run through 10.1 innings this season and is building off a strong 2025 campaign in which he posted a 2.97 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 23 holds and a 75:22 K:BB across 72.2 innings. The 28-year-old right-hander is clearly trusted to handle high-leverage situations, which makes him a candidate to see save opportunities if Hoffman is unable to snap out of his slow start to the season.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Double, RBI in win Tuesday

    House went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Pirates.

    After getting the night off Monday, House was back in the lineup Tuesday. House got the scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning and then hit his fourth double of the season in the seventh. House is slashing .267/.323/.433 with two home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a 5:19 BB:K across 65 plate appearances.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Notches victory with quality start

    King (2-1) earned the win over Seattle on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six innings.

    The only run King allowed came in the second inning. He didn't give up any extra-base hits and was able to overcome some wildness, as he threw a first-pitch strike to only 11 of the 25 batters he faced and notched just 49 strikes among his 85 total pitches. King has recorded a quality start and victory in each of his past two appearances, lowering his season ERA to 2.78 in the process. He's tentatively scheduled to next take the mound on the road against the Angels.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: No-decision vs. Milwaukee

    Gausman did not factor into Tuesday's extra-inning win against the Brewers. He allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five across five innings.

    All of the runs Gausman gave up came on a three-run homer from Jake Bauers in the third frame. However, the Blue Jays generated enough offense for Gausman to avoid the loss, with the veteran right-hander finishing his night with 15 whiffs while tallying 62 strikes on 97 pitches (63.9 percent). He is winless through four starts but has not yielded more than three earned runs in any of his outings this season, and his 31 strikeouts (across 22.1 innings) are tied with Jose Soriano for most in the American League this season. Gausman is slated to pitch this weekend on the road against the Diamondbacks.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Swats sixth homer Tuesday

    Abrams went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Pirates.

    Abrams fell a triple short of the cycle and continues to rake at the plate with a .356/.426/.695 slash line across 68 plate appearances to begin the 2026 campaign. He had an RBI single in the first before flipping an 80 mph sweeper from Mitch Keller into the right-field seats for a solo shot in the third. Abrams has hit safely in 14 of his 16 games this season and 11 of 12 this month. He's also hit all six of his home runs in April with 16 RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases over 50 trips to the plate.
