Twins' 13-game win streak ends in 2-5 loss to the Brewers
Jackson Chourio robbed Royce Lewis of a potential tying homer in the eighth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers ended the Minnesota Twins' 13-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory on Sunday.
Isaac Collins and Sal Frelick each drove in two runs to help the Brewers end the second-longest win streak in Twins history. The Twins won 15 straight in 1991, a season that ended with a World Series title.
Minnesota trailed 4-2 when Lewis, who already had hit his first homer of the season in the fourth inning, sent a long drive to left-center against Nick Mears with a runner on second. Chourio timed his jump perfectly and reached his gloved hand over the wall to make the catch.
Rhys Hoskins had a sacrifice fly in the bottom half, and Trevor Megill worked the ninth for his sixth save.
Frelick singled home Christian Yelich in the second. That snapped Minnesota's string of 34 straight shutout innings, a Twins record.
Milwaukee extended the lead to 4-0 in the third. Collins hit a bases-loaded, two-out single and Frelick added an RBI single.
Twins starter Zebby Matthews (0-1) came up from the minors and gave up four runs and five hits in three innings.
Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta (5-3) allowed one run over five innings.
After cutting Milwaukee's lead to 4-1 in the fourth, the Twins loaded the bases with two outs. Peralta ended the threat by retiring Ryan Jeffers on a fly to right.
The Brewers have never gone scoreless in a three-game series, though they've been shut out in the first two games of each of their last two. They won 9-5 at Cleveland after falling 5-0 and 2-0
The Twins start a three-game home series against Cleveland. Monday's scheduled starters are Twins right-hander Bailey Ober (4-1, 3.72 ERA) and Guardians lefty Logan Allen (2-2, 3.70).
The Brewers begin a three-game home series against Baltimore. Monday's pitchers are Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (1-2, 4.59) and Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer (3-5, 5.36).

Former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb reacts to Jalen Hurts skipping Trump White House visit
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts divided fans when he chose to skip the team's celebratory White House visit in April. Hurts was one of several Eagles players who chose not to go, alongside AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jalen Carter and Brandon Graham. But as the quarterback, Hurts' absence garnered particular scrutiny. Hurts told reporters on May 20 that he didn't go because he "wasn't available." Former Eagles star quarterback Donovan McNabb, who says he's mentored Hurts since coming to Philadelphia, gave his reaction to his protégé's absence in an interview with Fox News Digital. McNabb also suggested that Hurts' absence was based on a decision. "I don't have a problem with it at all. I agree, I totally agree with him and the decision that he made, it's a grown man decision, and he stuck with it," McNabb said. "And for him, his focus again is to get himself ready to possibly get back to another Super Bowl." McNabb added that he would have made the same decision as Hurts. Hurts also raised eyebrows again when he attended the Met Gala the following week after missing the White House. Still, the vast majority of the Eagles' roster and coaching staff did attend the White House and celebrated with Trump, as well as the president's daughter, Ivanka. Those players included star running back Saquon Barkley. "It's everybody's choice," McNabb said of the players who went. "You don't harp on anybody else's decision of what they made, it's a decision. It's a personal decision that he made, for both, for Jalen and for Saquon," McNabb said. "And again, after you do your visit or whatever it may be, you get right back to focusing on the task at hand and seeing if you can have that opportunity to be invited back to the White House." When the Eagles won the Super Bowl back in 2018, the team decided not to attend the White House. Trump rescinded the invitation to host the Eagles after several players said they would not participate in the visit because of his previous criticisms of national anthem protests. The Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House several weeks before the Eagles did, to commemorate their World Series title. Mookie Betts, who skipped a visit in 2019 with the Boston Red Sox, attended this year. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

What Time Is 2025 Belmont Stakes? How To Watch On Free TV And Streaming
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK - JUNE 08: the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race ... More Course on June 08, 2024 in Saratoga Springs, New York. (Photo by) Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winners Sovereignty and Journalism are facing off in the 2025 Belmont Stakes this weekend. What time does the event start and where can you watch it live on free TV, cable and streaming? Because Sovereignty sat out the Preakness Stakes last month, it precluded the potential for the horse to become the 14th Triple Crown winner in the event's history. Following the Kentucky Derby, Sovereignty's trainer Bill Mott told reporters that the first priority was the well-being of the horse. "Of course, you always think about a Triple Crown, and that's not something we're not going to think about," Mott said (via ESPN). As such, Journalism, which finished second in the Kentucky Derby, went on to win the 2025 Preakness Stakes, creating a showdown with Sovereignty when both horses take part in the Belmont Stakes among a field of eight horses. The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes is set for Saturday at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and post time is 7:04 p.m. ET/4:04 p.m. PT. The 2025 Belmont Stakes will be broadcast live on FOX on free TV and on cable on FS1. In addition, a livestream of the race will be available on the FOX Sports app. Coverage of the 2025 Belmont Stakes begins on broadcast, cable and streaming at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY - MAY 03: Sovereignty #18, ridden by jockey Junior Alvarado, pushes ahead of ... More Journalism #8 to win the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 03, 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky. (Photo by) Eight horses are vying to win the 2025 Belmont Stakes. Here's the list of the post positions for the race with current betting odds: Like the 2025 Kentucky Derby, rain could potentially be an issue, at least earlier in the day. According to CBS News, there's a 75% chance of rain on Saturday morning with a chance of thunderstorms and a high of 64 degrees. The chance of rain drops to 24% by post time, however, with partly cloudy skies and a high of 74. The 2025 Belmont Stakes is set to begin at 7:04 a.m. ET/4:04 p.m. PT and will broadcast live on FOX and FS1, and will stream live on the FOX Sports app.
