Rockies beat Marlins 6-4
Hunter Goodman homered twice, including a go-ahead two-run shot in the fifth inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Miami Marlins 6-4 on Monday night to snap their fourth eight-game losing streak of the season. It was the 10th win against 50 losses for the Rockies, who had already wrapped up the worst 60-game start in the modern era (since 1901). The 1904 Washington Senators and 1932 Boston Red Sox both opened 11-49. Goodman had a two-out single in the first off Max Meyer, and Thairo Estrada followed with an RBI double to give Colorado the lead. Goodman was charged with an error in the bottom half when he dropped a throw at home plate, allowing the tying run to score. Otto Lopez added an RBI single off Germán Márquez, and a sacrifice fly by Eric Wagaman gave Miami a 3-1 lead. Jesús Sánchez's run-scoring double made it 4-1 in the second. Goodman homered in the third, and Tyler Freeman's two-out RBI single in the fourth got the Rockies within a run. Ezequiel Tovar singled leading off the fifth and Goodman followed with his ninth homer for a 5-4 advantage. Keston Hiura doubled leading off the ninth for his first hit with Colorado, and Sam Hilliard's one-out double drove in an insurance run. Márquez (2-7) allowed four runs — three earned — and nine hits in five innings. Jake Bird, Tyler Kinley and Seth Halvorsen each pitched a scoreless inning before Zach Agnos worked the ninth for his fourth save. Meyer (3-5) gave up five runs — four earned — and 10 hits in five innings. Miami has lost three of four to begin a six-game homestand. Sánchez singled leading off the ninth for Miami (23-35) before he was forced out at second on a pop fly by Agustín Ramírez that dropped in front of Freeman in right field. Agnos got Kyle Stowers to hit into a game-ending double play two pitches later. Goodman, a third-year catcher, leads Colorado in home runs and RBIs (34). Marlins RHP Sandy Alcantara (2-7, 8.47 ERA) starts the middle game of the series Tuesday. The Rockies hadn't announced a scheduled starter.

Giants left with one more rookie to sign after Darius Alexander inks deal
And then there was one. Third-round pick Darius Alexander became the sixth member of the Giants' seven-man draft class to sign his rookie contract Monday, leaving only fourth-rounder Cam Skattebo unsigned. As the No. 65 pick, Alexander's contract is expected to be worth about $6.75 million over four years under the NFL rookie wage scale, according to Advertisement Giants defensive tackle Darius Alexander (91) signed his rookie contract on Monday. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Like all Giants draft picks, Alexander competed in rookie minicamp and has participated in OTAs without signing because of a waiver protecting him against injury. Defensive tackle arguably is the most upgraded position on the roster, but Alexander is fighting for a starting spot alongside Dexter Lawrence. Advertisement Free agents Roy Robertson-Harris and Jeremiah Ledbetter also were added to the position where Rakeem Nunez-Roches, D.J. Davidson and Jordon Riley are returning. Running back Cam Skattebo (44) when the Giants held Rookie Minicamp Saturday, May 10, 2025 Robert Sabo for NY Post 'Trusting my coaches and the veteran guys out there believing in them, taking coaching from them while they're helping me,' Alexander said after his first practice in the NFL. 'So next thing after that, it'd be just effort, just going out there running fast to the ball everywhere it goes. So, I'd say that's the key to success right there.' Advertisement Alexander, 24, spent six seasons at Toledo and was one of the stars of the Senior Bowl. The Giants refused to trade the No. 65 pick in the deal that allowed them to move from No. 34 to No. 25 to land quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Phillies Linked to Luis Robert Jr. to Replace Beloved Outfielder
Phillies Linked to Luis Robert Jr. to Replace Beloved Outfielder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies have been an NL powerhouse since 2022, reaching the World Series that season and winning the NL East by an impressive six games in 2024. Fresh off their first division title in 13 years, the Phillies are locked in a tight battle against the New York Mets, who hold a one-game lead in the East. Advertisement As a clear contender, whether they win the division or make it into the postseason via the wild card round, the Phillies will undoubtedly be buyers at the trade deadline. The Phillies' main pursuit will be in finding pitching help, however, one analyst recently speculated on who the Phillies might be interested in to boost their offense. In a piece from Bleacher Report, MLB writer Kerry Miller suggested the Phillies might want to take a gamble on Luis Robert Jr. 'After a mediocre 2024 season and an even worse first two months of the present season, though, we shall see if they can even manage to trade [Luis Robert Jr.] at all this summer,' Miller wrote when predicting the major trade chips on the market this year. Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. (88) at bat in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Peter Aiken-Imagn Images 'Robert has at least been healthy, though. So healthy, in fact, that he somehow leads the majors in stolen bases despite possessing one of the worst batting averages among qualified hitters. Moreover, center fielders worth anything close to a darn aren't exactly growing on trees and readily available at the trade deadline. The Phillies and Mets could both use one.' Advertisement Over his career, Robert has compiled some notable stats and achievements. Unfortunately, injuries have consistently derailed him. As of today, he has only eclipsed 100 games played in a single season once. The former Silver Slugger and Gold Glover has shown a remarkable talent for every aspect of the game. However, this year, the White Sox slugger owns a .180/.270/.291 slash line with five home runs and 21 steals. If the Phillies do trade for him, it would be for his explosive potential when compared to Brandon Marsh. Like Robert, Marsh has also scuffled, hitting .220/.319/.330 with two home runs. If Robert can find his old form, this buy-low opportunity could be a once-in-a-decade type deal for whoever lands him.
