Freddy Peralta, Brewers end Twins 13-game winning streak
Freddy Peralta allowed one run over five solid innings as the Milwaukee Brewers avoided a sweep with a 5-2 victory over visiting Minnesota on Sunday, snapping the Twins 13-game winning streak.
Peralta (5-3) needed 90 pitches to navigate those innings, allowing one run. a solo homer, on three hits. He struck out five, walked two and hit two batters. Trevor Megill finished with a perfect ninth for his sixth save in seven opportunities.
Zebby Mathews (0-1), called up from Triple-A St. Paul, allowed four runs on five hits in three innings in his season debut. Minnesota had not lost since a 6-1 defeat at Boston on May 2.
Milwaukee capitalized on Matthews' lack of command for three runs in the third to go in front 4-0. After striking out the first two hitters, Matthews issued three consecutive walks to load the bases. Alex Collins followed with a two-run single and Sal Frelick singled in a run.
Royce Lewis got Minnesota on the board in the fourth with his first homer, a one-out solo shot to left. The Twins loaded the bases with two outs on with a pair of walks around an error, but Peralta got Trevor Larnach on an inning-ending fly to right.
The Twins cut the lead to 4-2 in the seventh when Larnach doubled with one out, advanced on a fly out, and scored on Brooks Lee's single.
Jackson Chourio preserved the lead in the eighth inning with a leaping grab of Lewis' potential game-tying drive above the center field wall with a runner on second.
Milwaukee added a run in the eighth when William Contreras walked, advanced to third on a wild pitch and ground out, and scored on a sacrifice fly.
The Brewers snapped Minnesota's team-record streak of 34 consecutive scoreless innings with a run in the second. Christian Yelich and Rhys Hoskins opened with consecutive singles and both advanced on a sacrifice bunt. Frelick followed with an RBI single.
Carson McCusker, called up by the Twins earlier in the day from Triple-A St. Paul, pinch-hit in the eighth and bounced to the pitcher to end the inning in his first big league at-bat. The 6-8, 250-pound McCusker was hitting .350 with 10 homers and 36 RBI in 38 games at Triple-A.

Lynx stay unbeaten with second-half surge to down Valkyries
Natisha Hiedeman scored all eight of her points in two second-half runs, Napheesa Collier returned from a night off with a game-high 24 points and the Minnesota Lynx surged past the host Golden State Valkyries 86-75 on Sunday night in San Francisco. Returning from a sore knee, Collier completed her third consecutive double-double with a season-high-tying 11 rebounds, and Courtney Williams added 20 points for Minnesota, which remained unbeaten through seven games. Veronica Burton had a team-high 21 points and Kate Martin a career-high 14 for Golden State, which led by one at halftime and retained a 56-53 advantage after Kayla Thornton's interior hoop in the third minute of the third period. But the Lynx, who made the WNBA finals last season, took charge from there, starting with a 14-2 burst that featured 3-pointers from Hiedeman, Williams and Bridget Carleton. Attempting to avoid a third consecutive loss, the Valkyries hung within 68-60 through quarter's end, before Hiedeman had two hoops one that she turned into a three-point play and Collier added a basket in a 7-0 flurry to open the fourth period that broke the game open at 75-60. Williams also found time for five rebounds and a team-high five assists. Her three 3-pointers in seven attempts helped Minnesota outscore the hosts 33-27 from beyond the arc despite taking eight fewer attempts. Kayla McBride chipped in with 16 points and six rebounds, while Carleton had 12 points for the Lynx, who completed a two-game Western sweep after dispatching the Phoenix Mercury on Friday without Collier. The Lynx and Valkyries were meeting for the first time. Thornton finished with 11 points and a team-high seven rebounds for Golden State, which had played the defending-champion New York Liberty on the road in its two previous games. Julie Vanloo dished off a team-high four assists and swiped two steals for the Valkyries, an expansion team that has sold out all three of its home games at the spacious Chase Center, home of the Golden State Warriors.

Diamondbacks beat Nationals 3-1 but lose starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to injury
PHOENIX — Eugenio Suárez homered to cap Arizona's three-run first inning in a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals 3-1 on Sunday, but the Diamondbacks lost starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to an injury. Burnes, who had three of his six strikeouts in the first inning, left with two outs and CJ Abrams on base in the fifth after throwing his 70th pitch. He motioned to the dugout and appeared to mouth, 'My elbow,' to a teammate before walking off the field with a 3-0 lead. The Diamondbacks, who snapped a four-game skid despite not getting a hit after the first inning, staked Burnes to the lead when Ketel Marte hit a leadoff single against Mitchell Parker and took second on a flyout. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled to score Marte and Suárez followed with his 15th homer — a 466-foot shot to center. The blast tied Suárez with the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber for the fifth longest this season. The Angels' Mike Trout leads with a 484-footer against the Giants on April 19. It turned out it was Arizona's final hit. Jalen Beeks replaced Burnes in the fifth and gave up an RBI single to Nathaniel Lowe before striking out Luis García Jr. to end it. Cristian Mena was recalled from Triple-A Reno before the game and pitched two scoreless innings for his first win in his third career appearance. Justin Martinez pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save. The Nationals had their four-game win streak stopped — one short of their season high. Arizona will monitor the status of Burnes, who was signed to a six-year deal worth $210 million before the season to anchor the staff. Burnes didn't get his first win until his sixth start when he beat the Mets on April 30. But he went 2-1 in four May starts with a 1.67 ERA. RHP Trevor Williams starts Tuesday as the Nationals begin a six-game homestand with three against the Cubs, who will send out RHP Cade Horton for his fourth career start. The Diamondbacks will start RHP Zac Gallen on Tuesday against Braves, who will start RHP Spencer Strider .

Cole Young plates game-winner in MLB debut as Mariners walk off Twins
Cole Young drove in the winning run in the 11th inning of his major league debut as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Minnesota Twins 5-4 on Saturday. Cal Raleigh continued his home run barrage and J.P. Crawford also went deep as the Mariners snapped a three-game skid and moved back atop the American League West by a half-game over Houston. Collin Snider (2-1) pitched two scoreless innings of extra-inning relief to earn the victory. With Mitch Garver serving as the ghost runner at second base, Leody Taveras dropped down a sacrifice bunt off Cole Sands (3-2) to start the bottom of the 11th. Miles Mastrobuoni replaced Garver as the runner at third and beat the throw to the plate on Young's grounder to first baseman Ty France. The Twins challenged the call, but the result stood. With the Mariners having used closer Andres Munoz each of the past two nights, they brought in Carlos Vargas with a 4-3 lead in the ninth. After getting Ryan Jeffers to pop out, Byron Buxton hit a comebacker to the mound. Vargas fielded the ball but threw errantly down the first-base line, allowing Buxton to get to third. Trevor Larnach then grounded a single to right to score Buxton with the tying run. Twins reliever Griffin Jax got out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings. With one out, Young got his first major league hit, a line drive to right field. Crawford doubled to left an out later and after Raleigh was intentionally walked, Jax fanned Julio Rodriguez to end the frame. The Twins took a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Carlos Correa drew a leadoff walk off Bryce Miller and Matt Wallner, who was making his return after spending six-plus weeks on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain, followed with a homer to right. Willi Castro singled and stole second, took third on a groundout and scored on Buxton's two-out single to center. Ben Williamson led off Seattle's half of the third inning with a single and, an out later, Raleigh went deep to right, his 22nd homer of the season and his third in the past two games to tie the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani for the major league lead. It remained 3-2 until the seventh when Young drew a leadoff walk off Jorge Alcala. With one out, Crawford hit a blast off the facade of the second deck in right field at T-Mobile Park, giving Seattle its first lead. Twins starter Bailey Ober went four-plus innings and gave up two runs on six hits with one walk and four strikeouts. Seattle's Bryce Miller, fresh off the injured list due to right elbow inflammation, also went four innings. He allowed three runs on five hits, with one walk and two strikeouts.
