The Phillies outlasted the Brewers for a 9-8 win yesterday, moving Philadelphia to a 38-32 record. The two clubs combined for 29 hits, and every member of the Phillies’ starting lineup reached base at least once, with all but Bryce Harper recording a hit. Today’s contest figures to be more of a pitchers’ duel. Cristopher Sánchez, an early contender for the NL Cy Young Award, takes on Milwaukee’s Kyle Harrison, who’s in the midst of a breakout season with a 2.72 ERA in 12 starts.
1. Yamamoto’s perfect game bid
Yoshinobu Yamamoto dominated the White Sox in a 7-1 victory for the Dodgers yesterday. Yamamoto took a perfect game bid into the eighth inning, losing it on a fielding error by Mookie Betts with two outs. Yamamoto surrendered a lead-off home run to Tristan Peters in the ninth, ultimately exiting after 8 1/3 innings and just the one earned run. Adding in the final 22 batters he retired in his previous start against the Angels, Yamamoto set down 45 straight before losing the perfecto on Saturday. That fell just shy of the all-time record of 46 straight batters, set by Yusmeiro Petit in 2014.
2. Jordan’s first career big fly
In just his second big league game, Cardinals third baseman Blaze Jordan went yard for his first career home run. The three-run shot in the seventh gave St. Louis much-needed insurance runs in an eventual 9-6 victory over the Twins. Jordan also added a triple in the second inning, giving him four hits in eight total at-bats and leaving him only without a double so far. The Cardinals acquired Jordan, a third-round pick by the Red Sox in 2020, in exchange for Steven Matz at last year’s deadline.
3. Mize makes his return
Right-hander Casey Mize will start for the Tigers in today’s matchup against the Guardians. Reports on Thursday indicated that Detroit would activate Mize off the injured list for today’s game, though an official move is still pending. Mize will return after a two-week absence due to right adductor inflammation. He also went on the IL from April 29th through May 16th with a right adductor strain. In nine starts around those IL stints, Mize was at his best, posting a 2.27 ERA in 47 2/3 innings and running a 20.0% K-BB rate. His return, along with the recent return of Tarik Skubal, will be massive boons to Detroit’s rotation as they look to climb out of fourth place in the AL Central.
