Bryan Reynolds' bases-loaded triple leads Pirates to season-high 4th straight win, 10-3 over Marlins
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bryan Reynolds hit a bases-loaded triple to cap a four-run third inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the skidding Miami Marlins 10-3 on Monday night for their season-high fourth straight win. Reynolds put the Pirates ahead 4-1 with a line drive to the gap in right-center field off Eury Perez (0-1), who was making his first major league start since Sept. 20, 2023, after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Reynolds' hit came after Andrew McCutchen had an RBI infield single. Advertisement All nine Pirates had hits, and McCutchen and Adam Frazier paced a 15-hit attack with three apiece. Brett Sullivan had two RBIs in his Pirates debut after being called up Saturday from Triple-A Indianapolis. Perez lasted just three innings and gave up four runs and four hits. He had five strikeouts and two walks while throwing 70 pitches as the Marlins lost for the eighth time in their last nine games. Despite missing so much time, Perez is still the youngest pitcher in the major leagues at 22 years, 55 days. The Pirates broke the game open with a four-run sixth that included two throwing errors by the Marlins on Ke'Bryan Hayes' bunt single. That put Pittsburgh ahead 8-2. Advertisement The Marlins' Otto Lopez hit a leadoff home run in the second inning, his sixth, to open the scoring. Miami lost for the eighth time in nine games. Pirates rookie starter Mike Burrows allowed two runs on four hits in 4 1/3 innings with six strikeouts and three walks. Caleb Ferguson (2-0) pitched two perfect innings. The start of the game was delayed 41 minutes because of the threat of inclement weather. Key moment Reynolds' triple gave the Pirates all the runs they would need. Key stat The Pirates are 20-8 against NL East teams at home since the start of last season. Up next Marlins RHP Sandy Alcantara (2-7, 7.89 ERA) faces Pirates RHP Mitch Keller (1-8, 4.13) on Tuesday night in the middle game of the series. ___ AP MLB: John Perrotto, The Associated Press

A's set date for breaking ground on $1.75 billion Las Vegas stadium
The Athletics' eventual move to the Sin City will take another step closer to reality later this month when they break ground on the $1.75 billion stadium in Las Vegas. The nomadic baseball team is planning on a groundbreaking ceremony on June 23 at 8 a.m., the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Monday night. Construction on the Athletics' future home began back in late April, and the ceremony later this month will serve as a celebration for the organization and local officials. Advertisement 3 The A's plan to move to Las Vegas in 2028. Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Among those expected to be at the event are team ownership, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, members of the state legislature and members of the Clark County Commission. The construction schedule for the stadium is slated to span 32 months to have the new ballpark ready for Opening Day 2028, according to the report.

AP The A's started eying Vegas as a potential landing spot for the franchise back in 2021 when MLB cleared the club to do so after it had attempted to — though the sincerity of the attempts has been brought into question — get a new stadium in Oakland. The Athletics are expecting a largely local turnout for games once the team moves to Las Vegas, the team told the Review-Journal.

AP 'We've always thought that baseball would likely have a strong local component,' A's vice chair Sandy Dean told the outlet in April. 'It's hard to compare to Allegiant [Stadium] entirely because Allegiant has eight or nine games whereas baseball is going to have 81 games.' The Raiders had seen, on average, 68 percent of the fans at home games come from out of town, according to data from the Las Vegas Stadium Authority.

Chicago Cubs miscues scrap a defensive gem in 4-3 extra-innings walk-off loss — and Craig Counsell gets ejected again
PHILADELPHIA — Matthew Boyd kept coming back to the error. Two innings earlier, the Chicago Cubs' lefty had caught Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner leaning the wrong way at first base to end the third for his National League-leading fifth pickoff of the season. Boyd was primed to repeat it with rookie Otto Kemp in the fifth inning, but he wildly misfired and his pickoff throw got past first baseman Michael Busch to allow Kemp to advance from first to third. Kemp scored on the next pitch as Boyd left a slider over the plate to Weston Wilson, whose single put the Phillies ahead. The Cubs came back to tie it in the eighth on Ian Happ's solo home run and took the lead in the top of the 11th. But the Phillies answered with two in the bottom half as Brandon Marsh's bases-loaded single against Daniel Palencia handed the Cubs a 4-3 walk-off loss Monday at Citizens Bank Park. 'The part that sticks out to me is the error, that's a difference in that game, that inning, that run, plays out differently, frankly if I pick that guy off, and more importantly, just make a good throw,' Boyd said. 'Even if he's not out, the inning plays out differently.' That the Cubs were even in the game late is a testament to their defense helping the pitching staff navigate 16 hits. The offense managed just five, two of which were solo home runs, on a night Phillies ace Zack Wheeler tallied his 1,000th career strikeout and held them to one run in six innings. Kyle Tucker's home run was the first Wheeler surrendered in the first inning this year (13 starts). 'Our defense is super important,' manager Craig Counsell said. 'You see tonight we had two strikeouts. That means the ball is going to be in play a lot, and so we've got to play good defense. That's a strength of this team. We did it tonight, I think we'll continue to do it, and it's going to continue to be very important.' The Cubs (40-26) turned three double plays and recorded two outfield assists on throws to second base by Tucker and Happ in the second and eighth innings, respectively. For a second consecutive day, Counsell watched the end of the game from the visiting manager's office following an ejection, this time getting tossed in the bottom of the ninth inning. Counsell explained postgame he became upset when home plate umpire Stu Scheurwater didn't deny Phillies' Kemp was outside the baseline and interfered with catcher Carson Kelly's throw to first base on a chopper in front of the plate. However, Scheurwater told Counsell he deemed Kemp's actions didn't affect the play because Busch caught the ball. Counsell disagreed and adamantly believed Kemp impacted the sequence, adding, 'it's a situation where if Michael doesn't catch the ball they call him out.' Fortunately for the Cubs, it didn't come back to cost them the game that inning with Brad Keller and Drew Pomeranz getting the next three outs without a runner advancing past first base. 'He cares about this group and he cares about the team, and when he goes out there, it's to help the players to protect that guy,' Happ said of Counsell. 'And he knows the rules, he knows the rules really well and I think if there's one thing that's going to frustrate him, it's going to be the rules.'
