Taylor Walls ejected, has to be restrained in heated argument during Rays' 1-0 loss to Houston
HOUSTON (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays infielder Taylor Walls was ejected Sunday in the ninth inning of a 1-0 loss to Houston and had to be restrained during a prolonged argument. Walls appeared to tap his helmet after taking a called strike, which is a signal for challenging a call when the Automated Ball-Strike System is used. The ABS is not, however, being used in regular-season big league games yet, and plate umpire Nic Lentz seemed to take issue with the gesture. The clash escalated from there, with Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash coming out to talk to Lentz and try to keep Walls away from him. Walls was walked back toward the dugout before breaking free and charging at a couple umpires who were in the home plate area. He was quickly grabbed from behind by first base coach Michael Johns, and this time Rays outfielder Josh Lowe walked him back to dugout. Christopher Morel replaced Walls at the plate and went down swinging for the second out of the ninth. ___ AP MLB:

Matos' 3-run homer powers San Francisco Giants to 4-2 win over Miami Marlins
Luis Matos hit a three-run home run and the San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Sunday. After Wilmer Flores knocked in a run with a groundout in the second inning, Matos connected on a 2-0 changeup from Ryan Weathers (1-1) in the third that traveled 390 feet to left-center and gave the Giants a 4-0 lead. San Francisco did not score after that, marking the 14th straight games the Giants have failed to score more than four runs. San Francisco Giants' Heliot Ramos scores on a ground out hit by Wilmer Flores during the third inning of a baseball game against the Miami Marlins, Sunday, June 1, 2025, in Miami. Lynne Sladky / AP Hayden Birdsong (3-1) struck out five and allowed five hits and one run in his second start in San Francisco's rotation. He had limited Miami to two hits through five innings — both doubles by Xavier Edwards — before giving up three straight hits to start the sixth, which allowed Miami to make it 4-1 on Otto Lopez's RBI single. Camilo Doval got his second four-out save of the series, and his seventh save of the season. Edwards set a Marlins franchise record with five hits in his second game back from a left mid back strain. He made it 4-2 in the seventh when he drove in Eric Wagaman with an infield single. Heliot Ramos had two singles and a steal and scored San Francisco's first run in the third. Weathers struck out a season-high seven batters, walked four and allowed five hits over six innings. Key moment Doval worked out of the bases-loaded jam in the eighth after inheriting two runners with two outs. He walked pinch-hitter Dane Meyers before striking out Javier Sanoja. Key stat San Francisco's pitching limited Miami to three runs in the series. Up next Giants RHP Logan Webb (5-5, 2.82) starts the opener of a four-game home series against San Diego. Marlins RHP Max Meyer (3-4, 4.53) is on the mound for the first of three games against Colorado.
