MLB roundup: Nats’ Trevor Williams beats Braves to stay undefeated
Trevor Williams (32) extended the Washington Nationals’ run of impressive starting pitching by delivering 5 2/3 strong innings in a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. This win marked their third triumph in the four-game series between the National League East rivals.
Williams (5-0) allowed one run on four hits, walked two, and struck out four. Alongside Stephen Strasburg (8-0), he is one of the only two Nationals starters to remain unbeaten through their first 11 starts.
The Nationals scored all three of their runs in the third inning. Joey Meneses hit a two-out, two-run double to right field and then scored on a double by Jesse Winker.
Atlanta starter Ray Kerr (1-2) pitched 3 2/3 innings, conceding three runs on five hits, with two walks and seven strikeouts. Jarred Kelenic tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly from Michael Harris II. Marcel Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a double, extending his on-base streak to 23 games.
Yankees 8, Angels 3
Juan Soto’s three-run triple highlighted a five-run seventh inning, leading New York to an easy win over Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif.
Aaron Judge’s two-homer game gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead. Judge’s home run was his 24th extra-base hit of the month (12 homers, 12 doubles), tying Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for the Yankees record for extra-base hits in May.
The Yankees’ Carlos Rodon (7-2) allowed three runs on three hits in six innings. The Angels’ Patrick Sandoval (2-8) also gave up two runs on two hits in six innings. Logan O’Hoppe homered for Los Angeles.
Rays 6, Athletics 5 (12 innings)
Richie Palacios hit a walk-off single in the 12th inning, helping Tampa Bay secure its three-game series against Oakland in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Jose Siri hit two home runs and Isaac Paredes added another as the Rays ended their homestand 3-6. Siri’s homer in the ninth inning forced extras before each team scored a run in the 10th. Richard Lovelady (1-3) earned the win with a scoreless 12th.
The Athletics’ Shea Langeliers homered, doubled, and drove in two runs, while Abraham Toro and JJ Bleday each had three hits.
Brewers 6, Cubs 4
Gary Sanchez hit the go-ahead homer and drove in three runs as Milwaukee defeated visiting Chicago to take three of four in the series.
Sanchez hit a 3-2 sweeper from Cubs reliever Tyson Miller, sending it 422 feet into the seats beyond the center field wall, driving in Christian Yelich. Blake Perkins finished with two hits and an RBI for the Brewers.
The Cubs’ Seiya Suzuki hit a two-run homer off Brewers lefty Bryan Hudson (4-0) in the seventh to tie the game at 3. Christopher Morel tied it again at 4 in the eighth with a solo shot off Hudson, and Cody Bellinger also homered.
