Raleigh Hits One of Seattle's Four Homers as Mariners Romp Over Twins 11-2
Cal Raleigh hit his major league–leading 32nd home run on Monday, one of four by the Seattle Mariners in their 11–2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Raleigh hit a two-run shot to left in the ninth inning off reliever Joey Wentz.
Julio Rodríguez and Luke Raley homered as part of a six-run third inning for Seattle. Dominic Canzone, who homered twice on Sunday, went deep again for the Mariners, while Bryan Woo (7–4) gave up two runs and struck out nine to win his second straight start. Brooks Lee, Trevor Larnach, and Carlos Correa each had two hits. Larnach and Correa hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning for Minnesota, which has lost 14 of its last 17. Twins starter Bailey Ober (4–5) had just one bad inning, but it was rocky enough to be the difference in the game. He gave up six runs in the third, with a two-run homer by Rodríguez and Raley's three-run shot doing most of the damage. Ober allowed only two other baserunners and struck out seven in his seven-inning stint.
Rodríguez added a two-run double in the ninth inning before Raleigh's home run.
Key moment: Ober was one out away from getting out of the third inning with just three runs allowed. But he left a fastball over the middle to Raley, who drove it an estimated 436 feet to right-center for a three-run homer that gave Seattle a 6–0 lead.
Key stat: Since losing starters Pablo López and Zebby Matthews to shoulder injuries in early June, the Twins have allowed 133 runs in 17 games, an average of 7.8 per game.
Up next: The second game of the series features a matchup of veteran right-handers as Seattle's Luis Castillo (4–5, 3.38) faces Chris Paddack (3–6, 4.48) for the Twins.

Angels Score 4 in 8th for 9-5 Win Over Red Sox
Zach Neto hit a leadoff homer and rookie Christian Moore had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in a four-run eighth inning that sent the Los Angeles Angels past the Boston Red Sox 9–5 on Monday night. LaMonte Wade Jr. opened the eighth with a single off reliever Garret Whitlock (5–1). Wade stole second and went to third when catcher Connor Wong's throw bounced into center field for an error. Luis Rengifo walked and Moore hit a sacrifice fly for a 6–5 lead. A single by Neto, who had three hits and an intentional walk, to Mike Trout loaded the bases with two outs. Taylor Ward walked to force in a run and Travis d'Arnaud's two-run single made it 9–5. Angels left-hander Reid Detmers escaped a bases-loaded one-out jam in the seventh by striking out Roman Anthony and Trevor Story with 96 mph fastballs. Sam Bachman (1–0) retired the side in order in the eighth for the win. Angels closer Kenley Jansen left because of injury after four pitches in the ninth, and Hector Neris got the final three outs. Handed a 3–0 lead before he took the mound, Boston starter Walker Buehler walked four and hit two batters with pitches during a five-run first. The right-hander finished with a career-high seven walks in four innings. But the Red Sox took him off the hook when Story hit a solo homer off reliever Ryan Zeferjahn for a 5–5 tie in the sixth. Boston scored three runs on five hits, including Wilyer Abreu's two-run single off Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz in the first and later pulled to 5–4 on Wong's sacrifice fly in the fourth.

Wood Homers and Drives in 4 as the Nationals Beat the Padres
James Wood had a three-run homer among his three hits, drove in four, and scored three times for the Washington Nationals, who beat the San Diego Padres 10–6 on Monday night. Josh Bell also homered and finished with three RBIs. CJ Abrams had three hits and scored three times, twice on hits by Wood. Wood, Abrams, and Bell were involved in the blockbuster trade that sent Juan Soto from Washington to the Padres on August 2, 2022. Bell came over with Soto, while Abrams and Wood were among the six players the Padres sent to Washington. Abrams was a rookie, and Wood a prospect. The Padres traded Soto to the New York Yankees in December 2023. This was Wood's first game at Petco Park. Wood broke open the game with a three-run shot off the right-field foul pole against Yuki Matsui in the eighth inning. Abrams and Daylen Lile were aboard for Wood's 22nd homer. Bell's 10th homer sailed into the second deck in left in the ninth. Abrams reached on a two-base throwing error by starter Stephen Kolek (3–3) leading off the fourth and scored on Wood's single. Luis García Jr. doubled, Nathaniel Lowe hit an RBI single, Bell hit a sacrifice fly, and Brady House added an RBI single. Washington added two runs in the fifth with five straight one-out singles. Abrams' hit chased Kolek, and García and Bell hit RBI singles off Wandy Peralta. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a 435-foot three-run homer in the ninth for the Padres. Manny Machado homered leading off the fourth, and Jake Cronenworth connected leading off the seventh. It was Machado's 13th overall and seventh in June. It was Cronenworth's sixth and Tatis' 15th. Nationals starter Mitchell Parker (5–8) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. Key moment: Wood's big night no doubt had Padres fans wondering what would have been if he hadn't been involved in the Soto trade. Key stat: Machado has 1,990 career hits and 355 homers. He can become the 12th player to reach 350 homers and 2,000 hits at age 32 or younger. Up next: Nationals RHP Trevor Williams (3–8, 5.54 ERA), a San Diego native, and Padres RHP Ryan Bergert (1–0, 1.88) are scheduled to start Tuesday night.

Porto held an advantage in possession with 56.5 percent, but al-Ahly created more opportunities with a 22–14 advantage on shots.

Wessam consolidated his hat trick with a header that sent the ball into the center of the box. Key moment: Pepê converted the tying goal with his right foot from outside the box into the bottom left corner.
