Chisholm's HR Ends Yanks' 30-Inning Scoreless Skid; Angels Beat New York on a Late Volpe Error
Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the second inning to end New York's 30-inning scoreless streak, but an error in the eighth inning gave Los Angeles a tiebreaking run and the Angels beat the Yankees 3–2 Wednesday night for their sixth straight loss. Mike Trout and Taylor Ward opened the eighth by drawing walks off Fernando Cruz (1–3) and Luis Rengifo walked on four pitches to load the bases. Jo Adell hit a 105.9-mph grounder to New York shortstop Anthony Volpe, who bobbled the ball and threw wide of second, allowing Trout to score. The Yankees lost for the eighth time in 18 games, and their losing streak is the longest since they lost nine straight from August 12–23, 2023. For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. Chisholm ended New York's longest run-scoring drought since a 33-inning skid September 22–25, 2016, when his drive down the right field line stayed inside the foul pole and tied the game at 1. Cody Bellinger homered to give the Yankees a 2–1 lead in the fourth before the Angels' Jo Adell hit a tying homer on the first pitch of the fifth off Ryan Yarbrough. Bellinger made the final out of the eighth by fouling out with two on. Aaron Judge went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts as his average dipped to .366. Nolan Schanuel homered three pitches into the game for the Angels, who won a fifth straight game at Yankee Stadium–the old or new version–for the first time in team history. Kochanowicz allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander finished with a career-high eight strikeouts and walked three. Kenley Jansen struck out Volpe to secure his 15th save. Giancarlo Stanton batted for Ben Rice in the seventh and flew out to left field against Hector Neris (3-1). In the sixth, Bellinger hit an infield single, but Trent Grisham was called out at second when his leg touched the ball. Paul Goldschmidt lined out on the next pitch. Stanton is 5 for 47 in his career as a pinch hitter.

Chris Sale dominates as Braves hand Mets 5th-straight loss 5-0
Chris Sale went 8 2/3 innings, just missing his first shutout since 2019. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson hit home runs, and the Atlanta Braves handed the New York Mets their season-high fifth straight loss, 5–0, on Wednesday night. Sale (5–4) allowed five hits and one walk. He struck out seven and did not allow a runner past second base. He threw 116 pitches before giving way to Raisel Iglesias, who got a groundout to end the game. Sale has given up four runs in his last 41 2/3 innings for a 0.86 ERA in his last six starts. For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. Olson hit his 15th home run of the season in the seventh inning. Ozzie Albies was 2 for 3 with a double and a triple. Albies was hit in the right knee with a pitch while swinging at a third strike and went down for a few moments in the sixth inning but stayed in the game. Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil was 1 for 3 and extended his on-base streak to 20 games, the longest in the majors. Paul Blackburn (0–1) gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits with two walks in 3 2/3 innings. Key moment: The Braves pushed their lead to 2–0 in the first on a catcher's interference call. Mets catcher Luis Torrens blocked a pitch with a runner on third, and when he went to corral the loose ball, he used his mask in his right hand to sweep it into his glove. The ruling was catcher's interference and an error, allowing the run to score. Key stat: Acuña's 419-foot homer to center in the first inning was the 36th leadoff home run of his career and second this season.

Bo Bichette homers again to help the Blue Jays beat the Diamondbacks, 8-1
Bo Bichette had a home run among his three hits, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached base five times and drove in three, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8–1 on Wednesday night. Addison Barger had three hits and a walk, and left-hander Eric Lauer (3–1) pitched five innings to help Toronto improve to 24–13 at home. Guerrero walked in his first three plate appearances, including an intentional pass in the third. He hit a two-run double in the sixth and singled home a run in the seventh. Arizona arrived in Toronto having won five of six but lost its third straight, its longest skid since losing three in a row in late May. Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (2–4) allowed two runs (one earned) and six hits in 4 2/3 innings, his first losing decision since April 29 against the Mets. Bichette, who hit a tying home run in the ninth inning Tuesday in a 5–4 victory, connected for the second straight at-bat when he lined Rodriguez's second pitch 418 feet to left. It was Bichette's third career leadoff home run, two of which have come this season. He has 10 home runs this season. Arizona's Corbin Carroll stayed in to run the bases after being hit on the hand by a pitch in the top of the eighth but exited in the bottom half. Alek Thomas took Carroll's spot in the lineup. Key moment: Barger and Guerrero hit back-to-back doubles off Tayler Scott in Toronto's three-run sixth. One run scored on Barger's hit, while Guerrero's scored two. Key stat: The Blue Jays are 27–2 when they score five or more runs. Up next: Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (5–5, 4.08 ERA) was scheduled to start against RHP Ryne Nelson (3–2, 4.14) on Thursday as Toronto goes for its sixth sweep of the season.
