Seattle Mariners Fall Out Of AL West Lead After Big Loss
Seattle Mariners Fall Out Of AL West Lead After Big Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been a good run for the Seattle Mariners atop the American League West Division standings. But that's over now after Seattle suffered a big blow, losing to the Minnesota Twins 12-6 in extra innings on Friday, May 30. Advertisement Carlos Correa's two-run homer in the top of the 10th inning broke a tie, setting up the Twins for a huge six-run outburst. The Twins scored three runs in their half of the ninth inning, then silenced Mariners fans with their 10th-inning antics. Heading into Saturday's action, the Mariners now sit a half-game behind - who else? - the Houston Astros. Yanier Diaz's game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth carried the Astros over the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Friday. Cal Raleigh continued his smoking-hot home run pace for Mariners on Friday night Still, the Mariners had something to smile about despite the setback. Cal Raleigh, the "Big Dumper" himself, broke the record for most home runs by a catcher before the end of May. He slammed two homers at T-Mobile Park, giving him 21 total homers this season, reported. Advertisement Raleigh's three-run homer in the first inning put Seattle on top, then he added a two-run bomb in the eighth inning. He now has 11 homers in May alone, which puts him in second place among MLB homer leaders for the month behind Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. If Raleigh can connect on another dinger or two on Saturday, then his homer numbers will go up, of course. Still, Raleigh probably would have traded his homers for a victory at home on Friday night. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

Astros shutting down Yordan Alvarez in brutal injury swerve
Yordan Alvarez's nightmare season just hit another turn for the worse. The Astros are shutting down Alvarez again after an MRI exam showed a 'very small fracture' in his right hand that is only '60 percent healed,' general manager Dana Brown told reporters. Alvarez, who hit .210 with three home runs through his first 100 at-bats of the season, hasn't played since May 2. It was originally thought that the former American League Rookie of the Year and three-time All-Star was dealing with a muscle strain and that rest would cure the inflammation and fluid in his hand. Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez. Troy Taormina-Imagn Images Progress was made, and it appeared that he was days away from coming off the injured list before he took live batting practice on Friday. But that proved to be false hope. 'Even up until (Friday), he felt like, 'Wow, this feels really good,'' Brown said. 'We were trying to get him back for this weekend actually because he said he felt too good. Part of the reason why he felt so good was because a lot of the inflammation and fluid was gone.' Alvarez's batting practice 'looked pretty good,' but he 'still felt a little bit of discomfort,' afterward, Brown said. The Astros entered Saturday leading the AL West despite Alvarez's minimal contributions and extended absence. Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (44) works out prior to the game against the Seattle Mariners at Daikin Park on May 23. Erik Williams-Imagn Images He is going to have to get really hot whenever he returns to reach 30 home runs for the fifth consecutive season. No timetable for recovery was shared, but Alvarez said through an interpreter that he has played before with pain in his hand. 'He is going to be back in the near future,' Brown said. 'I think it could be soon because it's started to heal and he's actually feeling better. But with Yordan, and the force of the swings that he takes, he probably felt it a little bit, and that's why we got the extra imaging.'
