Dodgers score twice in 10th inning, hold off Padres
June 10 - Andy Pages' RBI double snapped a 10th-inning tie and lifted the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-7 win over the San Diego Padres on Monday.
Pages laced a 1-1 pitch from Wandy Peralta (3-1) to the left field wall, scoring Max Muncy, the automatic runner to start the inning. Tommy Edman added a run-scoring single off second base to provide a cushion.
Kirby Yates (4-2) worked around a two-out walk in the ninth to earn the win, and Tanner Scott picked up his 12th save despite yielding a one-out RBI double to Jackson Merrill in the 10th. Scott got a popup from Gavin Sheets and a flyout from Xander Bogaerts to end it.
Freddie Freeman finished with three of the Dodgers' 12 hits, while Pages and Edman each added two. Manny Machado was the only San Diego batter with two hits, while teammate Tyler Wade hit a three-run triple.
Neither starter was involved in the decision. Los Angeles' Dustin May lasted five innings, permitting six hits and six runs, five earned, with four walks and a strikeout. San Diego's Nick Pivetta pitched four innings and yielded five runs, four earned, off eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts.
Each team scored twice in the first. The Dodgers got their runs on Freeman's RBI double and Will Smith's sacrifice fly, while the Padres countered via Machado's run-scoring double and Merrill's sacrifice fly.
San Diego took a 3-2 lead in the second when Jake Cronenworth scored from third on Smith's throwing error with two outs as the catcher tried to nab Fernando Tatis Jr. stealing second.
That was followed by a wild third inning that saw each team plate three runs.
The Dodgers tied it on Teoscar Hernandez's sacrifice fly and gained a 5-3 lead on Smith's sixth homer, a two-run blast to left that traveled an estimated 378 feet. But the Padres erased that deficit and went up 6-5 on Wade's bases-clearing triple, just past the sliding Hernandez in right-center.
Los Angeles equalized in the fifth on a two-out RBI double into the right field corner by Hyeseong Kim.
The Dodgers have won two games in a row while the Padres have dropped four of their past six.

Giants place 3B Matt Chapman (hand) on IL
June 11 - San Francisco Giants standout third baseman Matt Chapman was placed on the 10-day injured list due to right hand inflammation prior to Tuesday's game against the host Colorado Rockies. Chapman injured the hand while being picked off during Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. He jammed it while diving back to first base in the bottom of the eighth inning and immediately displayed he was in pain. Chapman, 32, finished out the game and underwent X-rays, which came back negative. Still, the inflammation remained the following day and then a move was made on Tuesday. The five-time Gold Glove winner is batting .243 with 12 homers and 30 RBIs in 65 games this season. He is in his second season with the Giants. Casey Schmitt will likely receive the most duty at third base while Chapman is sidelined. Schmitt is playing third Tuesday night and batting seventh. The Giants recalled infielder Christian Koss from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old batted .219 with one homer and eight RBIs in 29 games with San Francisco earlier this season. --Field Level Media

Orioles activate 3B Jordan Westburg, OF Cedric Mullins from IL
June 10 - The Baltimore Orioles activated third baseman Jordan Westburg and outfielder Cedric Mullins from the 10-day injured list before Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Baltimore also demoted top prospect Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk and designated infielder Emmanuel Rivera for assignment. Westburg was batting sixth and playing third base on Tuesday while Mullins was serving as the designated hitter and batting ninth. Westburg, 26, last played for the Orioles on April 26 due to a left hamstring strain. He was batting .217 with four homers and six RBIs in 23 games. He was an All-Star last season and batted .264 with 18 homers and 63 RBIs. "I was itching to play some baseball again, so happy to be here," Westburg said before Tuesday's game. "Early on, I felt like I was kind of starting all over again. But toward the end of the week there, started to feel a lot better, and like I'm in a good spot, physically, to jump right back in." Mullins, 30, injured his right hamstring on May 28. He was hitting .232 with 10 homers and 31 RBIs in 50 games this season. He was a 2021 All-Star when he slugged a career-best 30 homers. He has 96 homers, 133 steals and a .251 career average. Kjerstad, 26, was the No. 2 overall selection in the 2020 draft but has been unable to produce at the major league level. Kjerstad was batting .192 with four homers and 19 RBIs in 54 games this season. In 106 games over three seasons, he has a .218 average with 10 homers, 36 RBIs and 88 strikeouts. Rivera, 28, was batting .232 with no homers and three RBIs in 25 games. He has a .243 career average and 22 homers in 365 games with four teams over five seasons. --Field Level Media

Angels put Chris Taylor (fractured hand) on IL
June 10 - The Los Angeles Angels placed outfielder/infielder Chris Taylor on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a fractured left hand. Taylor was hit on the hand by a pitch from the Athletics' Tyler Ferguson in the bottom of the eighth inning of Los Angeles' 7-4 win on Monday night. Taylor finished out the game in right field and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Taylor, 34, joined the Angels late last month after being released by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is 6-for-30 (.200) with one homer and three RBIs in 10 games with the club. During his nine-plus seasons with the Dodgers, Taylor had 108 homers and 423 RBIs in 1,007 games with the team. The Angels filled the roster opening by activating first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr., who they acquired from the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. A .238 career batter, Wade was hitting just .167 in 50 games with a homer and 15 RBIs this season. He was in his fifth season with the Giants, batting .240 with 52 HRs and 178 RBIs in 488 games with the team. Overall, he has 54 home runs and 182 RBIs with the Minnesota Twins (2019-20) and Giants. Manager Ron Washington said Monday that the Angels will primarily use the left-handed-hitting Wade as a corner outfielder. Wade is not in Tuesday's starting lineup. "We certainly needed a left-handed bat," manager Ron Washington said. "We got some very good reviews from people we know, and he can play both corner outfield spots. And he gives us a quality baseball player and quality person, period." --Field Level Media
