NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees ended their 30-inning scoreless streak Wednesday night when Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the second inning against the Los Angeles Angels.
Trailing 1-0, the Yankees ended their run-scoring drought when Chisholm sent a 2-0 pitch from Los Angeles starter Jack Konchanowicz into the seats in right field. The ball stayed just inside the foul pole and Chisholm, and his 10th homer of the season, was celebrated in the dugout with his teammates.

The run was New York's first since Anthony Volpe hit an RBI groundout in the ninth inning of its 4-3 loss at Boston on Saturday.
It was the seventh-longest scoreless streak in team history and seven behind the team record set Sept 3-8, 1908 against Washington, when Walter Johnson pitched three straight complete games against the Yankees.
It was New York's longest scoreless streak since going 33 innings without a run Sept. 22-25, 2016. The Yankees ended that streak when Didi Gregorius homered in the seventh inning at Toronto.
The last team to get blanked in four straight games was the Kansas City Royals, who were scoreless for 45 innings Aug. 24-29, 2017. The major league scoreless record is 48 innings, held by the 1968 Chicago Cubs and 1906 Philadelphia Athletics.

New York's 4-0 loss on Tuesday marked the seventh time in team history it was blanked in three straight games, but only the third instance in the past 50 years.
New York began Wednesday with five straight losses and mustered only five runs in its past six games, including a 1-0 win last Thursday in Kansas City. The last time the Yankees scored five runs or fewer in a six-game span was August 1968.
Despite the recent struggles, the Yankees lead the AL with a plus-98 run differential. New York also entered Wednesday leading the AL with 109 homers and 373 runs.

Toglia, Beck hit HRs as Rockies win 3-1, extend Nationals' losing streak to 11 games
WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Toglia and Jordan Beck hit solo homers and Germán Márquez gave up six hits in 5 2/3 scoreless innings to help the Colorado Rockies beat Washington 3-1 on Wednesday night, extending the Nationals' losing streak to 11 games. The Rockies have won four straight games for the first time this season. Toglia's home run off starter Mitchell Parker (4-8) made it 1-0 in the sixth and Orlando Arcia led off the seventh with a triple and scored on a sacrifice bunt by Ryan Ritter to make it 2-0. CJ Abrams drew a two-out walk in the seventh and scored on James Wood's 19th double of the season. Seth Halvorsen pitched a 1-2-3 ninth with two strikeouts for his fifth save of the season. The start of the game was delayed nearly two hours because of inclement weather. Key moment Wood drew a two-out walk in the third before Luis García Jr. and Nathaniel Lowe hit back-to-back singles to load the bases, but Márquez got Brady House to line out to third — where Arcia made a sprawling catch that ended Washington's threat. Key stat Márquez (3-8) did not allow at least one earned run for the first time in 13 appearances. The 30-year-old gave up four hits in six scoreless innings in a 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay on opening day. Up next Chase Dollander (2-7, 6.57 ERA) takes the mound Thursday for the Rockies against Trevor Williams (3-8 5.71) to close a four-game series. ___ AP MLB:

Buss family agrees to sell controlling stake of Lakers to Mark Walter for $10B, AP source says
The Buss family has agreed to sell the controlling stake of the Los Angeles Lakers to TWG Global CEO Mark Walter, doing so with a franchise valuation of $10 billion — the most ever for a professional sports franchise, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Wednesday. As part of the deal, Jeanie Buss — whose family has had control of the Lakers since her father bought the team in 1979 — intends to remain as governor, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side immediately announced details. It is not clear how much of the Lakers that Walter is acquiring. He was part of a group that bought 27% of the Lakers in 2021. Walter is part of the ownership of many other franchises, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chelsea FC, the Los Angeles Sparks and several auto racing teams. ESPN first reported the agreement. ___ AP NBA: Tim Reynolds, The Associated Press Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
