Morton strikes out 10 in 5 innings, O'Hearn and Laureano go deep as Orioles beat Angels 2-0
BALTIMORE (AP) — Charlie Morton struck out a season-high 10 in five innings, Ryan O'Hearn and Ramón Laureano hit home runs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angeles 2-0 on Friday night in a game that was delayed by rain before the start and again in the fifth inning. Morton (3-7) surrendered two straight singles to begin the fourth, but he struck out LaMonte Wade Jr. on three pitches before two ground balls got him out of the jam. Morton fanned Zach Neto leading off the fifth. He left after rain forced the second delay. Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz (3-8) used three groundball outs to retire the side in order in the first, but O'Hearn hit his 10th home run on Kochanowicz's first pitch in the second for a 1-0 lead. Laureano led off the fifth with his eighth homer for the final run. The second delay followed after a one-out single by Ramón Urías. Yennier Cano, Gregory Soto and Bryan Baker each pitched a scoreless inning for Baltimore before Félix Bautista had the final two of 14 strikeouts by the Orioles in notching his 12th save in 13 chances. Kochanowicz gave up two runs and four hits in 4 1/3 innings and the Angels used four relievers to finish. The Orioles beat the Angels for the 20th time in the last 25 matchups. LA won 2 of 3 against Baltimore on May 9-11. Key moment Morton allowed the first two batters to reach in the first inning but came back to strike out Mike Trout and Jorge Soler looking and Logan O'Hoppe on a foul tip to set the game's tone. Key stat The Orioles began the day with a staff ERA of 5.00 — second-worst in the AL followed by the Angels at 4.76.

Twins' Royce Lewis suffers left hamstring strain late in another rout
As if the result weren't bad enough, Royce Lewis suffered an injury late in Friday's losing effort. Routed by their opponents for the fourth time in nine days, the Minnesota Twins suffered perhaps an even bigger loss when the young third baseman pulled up while running out a base hit late in a 10-3 defeat at the Houston Astros. After losses of 12 and 13 runs to the Texas Rangers earlier this week, the Twins dropped to 36-33. Advertisement Lewis exited Friday's game with a left hamstring strain after singling into the left-field corner in the ninth inning. He homered earlier and finished 2-for-4. 'We don't know a lot right now,' Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters in Houston. 'He does have a left hamstring strain of some kind. I can't tell you how severe at this time. He actually tested relatively well after the game upon examination in the training room. We're going to bring him in (Saturday) and check him out, see how he comes in. A lot of times, you learn a lot just by how the guy shows up the next day, how he can move around, what he's capable of doing. That'll tell us a lot.' The occurrence is the latest in a series of leg injuries for Lewis, who has twice torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Lewis missed the first 35 games of this season after suffering a left hamstring strain March 16. He also missed 58 games of the 2024 season with a right quad strain suffered when running the bases on Opening Day. After his return, Lewis missed 16 games because of a right adductor strain. Despite missing the final 10 games of the 2023 season with a hamstring strain, Lewis returned and starred in the playoffs, hitting four home runs in 22 at-bats, including two off Kevin Gausman in Game 1 of an American League wild-card victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. After a lengthy absence to start the 2025 season, Lewis struggled at the plate. But Friday's appearance was yet another sign Lewis was getting back on track. Since he was given a day off to work in the cage on June 2, Lewis was 11-for-28 with five doubles and a homer. He went hitless in his first 15 at-bats after returning on May 6. He also snapped an 0-for-32 stretch with a run-scoring double in a June 3 victory at the Athletics.

Red Sox ace Crochet says he was happy to 'live and die with my best pitch' vs Judge

(AP Photo/Jim Davis) BOSTON (AP) — The Red Sox have had a chance in games whenever Garrett Crochet has been on the mound this season. And with the exception of one pitch in Friday's 2-1, extra-inning win over the Yankees, he again proved to be the antidote to Yankees slugger Aaron Judge. Advertisement Crochet held New York scoreless over a career-high 8 1/3 innings, striking out the Yankees slugger three times while holding the rest of New York's lineup to four hits with seven total Ks. But with Boston clinging to a 1-0 lead and Crochet back on the hill to try to finish the game in the ninth, his fourth time facing Judge proved costly. Crochet took him to a full count, but let his 99 mph fastball dip down in the strike zone — Judge's sweet spot. He jumped on it, blasting it 443 feet over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park to tie the game. 'I'm going to live and die with my best pitch,' Crochet said afterward. "Whether it be pitch selection or execution, tough way to end it. But overall, I felt really good tonight.' It helped that Crochet's partner throughout the night — catcher and former Yankee Carlos Narváez — helped put a happy face on the night, when he ended the game with a walk-off single in the 10th. Crochet didn't get the victory, but Narváez said it didn't diminish his masterful night on the mound. Advertisement For the season, Judge is just 1 for 7 with six strikeouts against Crochet. 'Crochet was awesome,' Narváez said. 'He made a mistake a little bit. But that was a 100 mph fastball. That was impressive. ... Probably the best pitcher now against the best hitter in baseball.' Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he has no regrets leaving Crochet in the game. 'That wasn't fun. But our guy was throwing great," Cora said. "He was efficient toward the end. We gave him a shot. It didn't work out. That's why (Judge) is who he is. One of the best in world, and he got one pitch down and he hit it out of the ballpark. You tip your hat.' Advertisement Though he acknowledged he'd probably lose sleep over Judge's last at-bat, Crochet was proud of his overall outing. 'It was a special feeling jogging back out there. Standing (ovation). I could tell the fans wanted me out there,' Crochet said. "I already wanted to be out there pretty bad. But it made it mean a little bit more. It made me grab a little bit more in that inning. I wish I could have finished it out. ... If my night had to end there from a home run I'm at least glad that it was on a fastball.' ___ AP MLB:
