Paul Goldschmidt's Pinch Homer Snaps Yankees' 5-Game Skid
Major League Baseball Paul Goldschmidt's Pinch Homer Snaps Yankees' 5-Game Skid Published Aug. 6, 2025 7:54 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Paul Goldschmidt put the Yankees ahead with a pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh inning and New York ended its five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Goldschmidt went deep off lefty reliever Robert Garcia (1-7), who has now given up homers in his last three appearances. The Yankees (61-54) avoided being swept in Texas for the first time since 2010, and kept the Rangers from moving past them for the American League's third and final wild-card spot. ADVERTISEMENT Mark Leiter Jr. (5-6) got the win after coming on with a runner on in the sixth and getting a flyout before a double-play grounder to end the inning. That came after his cousin, Rangers rookie starter Jack Leiter, struck out three and walked four in 3 1/3 innings while allowing two runs (one earned). David Bednar struck out five while throwing 42 pitches over the final 1 2/3 innings for his 18th save. No. 9 batter Ezequiel Duran had three hits and scored both runs for Texas (60-56), which had an eight-game home winning streak after winning the first two games in the series. He scored on Sam Haggerty's single in the third and Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly in the fifth. New York went up 2-1 in the fourth. Anthony Volpe had an RBI single and the other run came home on catcher Kyle Higashioka's throwing error when the Yankees pulled off a double steal.

Phillies Manager Rob Thomson Gives Encouraging Update On Zack Wheeler
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies organization held its breath after Zack Wheeler reported shoulder soreness and needed to undergo an MRI after his 10-strikeout performance on Aug. 2. However, the organization and Phillies fans can breathe a sigh of relief after manager Rob Thomson gave an encouraging update after simply just bumping back his next start to Sunday, Aug. 10. "It's clean," Thomson told Matt Gelb of The Athletic." Thomson was also very brief when asked if there was any thought of skipping his start entirely or adding a sixth member of the rotation. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - AUGUST 02: Zack Wheeler #45 of the Philadelphia Phillies throws against the Detroit Tigers during the first inning at Citizens Bank Park on August 02, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - AUGUST 02: Zack Wheeler #45 of the Philadelphia Phillies throws against the Detroit Tigers during the first inning at Citizens Bank Park on August 02, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."No, because he's fine," Thomson told Gelb. It's a breath of fresh air for the Phillies and their fans as Wheeler has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. Wheeler also hasn't been his normal self since he pitched the complete game on July 6 against the Cincinnati Reds. The goal is, with two days of extra rest, to help the Phillies' ace get through a tough patch of the season. To say Thomson and the rest of the team rely on him is an understatement. Philadelphia needs him to stay healthy and get back to his old ways with the division race far from over. Wheeler declined to speak on Wednesday after he played catch with some teammates to test how his arm was feeling. Given that he is in an unusual position, it makes sense for him not to talk. But the words from his manager are what Phillies fans want to hear. More MLB: Red Sox Predicted To Cut Ties With Jarren Duran After Roman Anthony's Extension

David Bednar goes longer than expected for his 1st Yankees save to end their 5-game skid
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — David Bednar got his first save for the New York Yankees after going a little longer than expected, and ended their five-game losing streak before going home. Bednar got the final five outs, all on strikeouts, in their 3-2 win at Texas on Wednesday. The game-ending one came with two runners on base after manager Aaron Boone had gone to the mound with the intention of pulling the right-hander that New York acquired from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline last Thursday. 'I said, 'I'm going to take you here.' And he gave me a look like, no you're not,' Boone said. 'He absolutely wanted the ball and, you know, felt like his stuff was still there. ... What a great, gutsy effort." Bednar's 18th save overall this season came in his third appearance for the Yankees (61-54), who remained ahead of Texas for the American League's third and final wild-card spot. They have a day off before opening a three-game series against AL West-leading Houston at home on Friday night after Bednar's first two series with New York were on the road. Bednar had two strikeouts to end the eighth and two more to open the ninth before Corey Seager walked on six pitches and Marcus Semien grounded a 3-1 pitch through the right side of the infield for a single. Bednar, already at a season-high 36 pitches and with cleanup hitter Adolis García headed to the plate, initially didn't see his new manager walking toward him. 'I was just kind of getting my mind right to face García,' Bednar said. 'I told (Boone) I wanted him and, you know, he agreed. And I just wanted to bear down and get that last one.' Bednar struck out García, finishing with a season-high 42 pitches for his most since 43 in an eight-out save for the Pirates at St. Louis on June 15, 2022. It was the third time this season Bednar recorded five outs, and the second in his week with the Yankees. 'That was awesome, especially that last one,' said Paul Goldschmidt, whose pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh broke a 2-2 tie. 'To go out out there and make those pitches was huge.' ___
