Cleveland finish series at Nationals, Logan Allen to start
Carlos Santana and Daniel Schneemann are providing quite the power surge for the Cleveland Guardians. The duo looks to remain hot this afternoon as the Guardians and host Washington Nationals play the rubber match of their three-game series. Advertisement Santana continues to pay dividends after signing a one-year, $12 million contract in December. The 39-year-old collected four hits during Tuesday's doubleheader and has two homers and six RBIs in his last five games overall. "I know my team needs me, so I try to have fun," Santana said, per "My approach has been one day at a time, thinking one day at a time, playing hard, preparing and trying to help the team win." He did precisely that in the second game of the doubleheader. May 6, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Cleveland Guardians first baseman Carlos Santana (41) celebrates hitting a three-run home run during the sixth inning against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. Santana belted a three-run homer and Schneemann went deep for the third time in four games in Cleveland's 9-1 romp on Tuesday. The Guardians, who dropped a 10-9 decision in the first game, are 6-2 in their last eight contests overall. Advertisement "Hitting the slider out, that's been one of the big things," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said of Schneemann. "We know (Schneemann) hits fastballs, but he's starting to really make good adjustments on off-speed." May 6, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Cleveland Guardians second baseman Daniel Schneemann (10) rounds the bases on a solo home run during the eighth inning against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. Austin Hedges also homered in the nightcap. "Hedgie leads the dugout, leads the team and he can hit," Vogt said. "He had two really good swings tonight. He's been swinging the bat, getting on base, doing his thing and it was really cool to get a homer, like a little baseball gods' little tip of the cap." May 6, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Cleveland Guardians catcher Austin Hedges (27) rounds the bases on a solo home run during the ninth inning against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. Nationals manager Dave Martinez wasn't going to let his team's lopsided loss get him down. The setback, after all, came on the heels of the team's three-game winning streak. Advertisement "This year, they believe that they can win. They can. You've seen it," Martinez said. "I'm not going to harp on them. It's been a couple long days, and we've got a chance to win another series tomorrow. We've been playing well." What time do the Guardians play today? First pitch is 12:05 p.m. ET on May 7. Guardians vs. Nationals pitching probables: Logan Allen vs. Michael Soroka Cleveland left-hander Logan Allen (1-2, 4.02 ERA) will take the mound this afternoon against Washington right-hander Michael Soroka (0-1, 7.20), who is expected to be activated off the 15-day injured list. Cleveland Guardians starting ptcher Logan Allen (26) throws a pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays on May 2, 2025, in Toronto, Ontario. Allen saw his winless stretch extend to three starts on May 2 despite allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits in 5 2/3 innings of a no-decision against the Toronto Blue Jays. Advertisement He's permitted two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five trips to the mound. Allen, 26, has yet to face the Nationals in his career. Soroka is returning to the mound for Washington for the first time since sustaining a strained right biceps on March 31. He fared well in his latest rehab assignment for Triple-A Rochester, allowing one run while striking out 11 batters. "I felt pretty good," Soroka said, per MASN. "Everything was coming out pretty good and I can't complain about that. Ultimately, we got to the full pitch count. Yeah, I felt really good." Soroka, 27, is 0-1 with a 5.27 ERA in three career starts against Cleveland.

MLB roundup: Kyle Stowers' walk-off slam lifts Marlins
May 4 - Kyle Stowers turned around a 102-mph fastball for a walk-off grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning as the Miami Marlins rallied to defeat the Athletics 9-6 on Saturday afternoon. Stowers' blast off A's All-Star closer Mason Miller (0-1) was a 396-foot, opposite-field shot to left center that snapped Miami's six-game losing streak. Stowers finished with two homers and six RBIs, belting a 422-foot, two-run drive in the third off A's starter Osvaldo Bido. Boosting his average to .324 and slugging percentage to .552, Stowers continued his hot week. He swatted two home runs and drove in four runs Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. JJ Bleday, Luis Urias and Brent Rooker all went deep for the Athletics, who got two hits and an RBI from Gio Urshela. Bleday, Miami's first-round pick in 2019, is 4-for-8 with five runs, two homers, one double, two RBIs and one walk in the series. Guardians 5, Blue Jays 3 Daniel Schneemann drove in all of Cleveland's runs with two homers, highlighted by a go-ahead, ninth-inning grand slam, as the visiting Guardians stunned the Toronto Blue Jays. Trailing 3-0, Schneemann -- who doubled his season home run total Saturday -- clubbed a solo shot well into the right field seats in the eighth off Chad Green. After Yimi Garcia (0-1) gave up Steven Kwan's single and two walks in the ninth, Schneemann stepped up with two outs and crushed a 1-1 fastball to give Cleveland the lead. The loss snapped Toronto's three-game winning streak and spoiled a stellar start from Kevin Gausman, who yielded only Kwan's third-inning bloop single, struck out nine, and walked only one batter over six sharp innings. Twins 4, Red Sox 3 Kody Clemens hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning, with his father, former Red Sox star Roger Clemens, in attendance, and visiting Minnesota held on for a win over Boston. Minnesota was outhit 12-10, with Byron Buxton, Ryan Jeffers and Harrison Bader each recording two. Boston left 10 on base -- including two in both the sixth and ninth innings -- and went 2-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Leadoff hitter Jarren Duran went 2-for-5 with a double, triple, RBI and two runs, while Rafael Devers (two RBIs) and Romy Gonzalez each had three hits. Giants 6, Rockies 3 Matt Chapman capped a five-run sixth inning with a grand slam and the bullpen threw four innings of shutout relief as San Francisco overcame visiting Colorado. Giants relievers Camilo Doval, Erik Miller and Ryan Walker retained the three-run margin to the end with an inning apiece of hitless ball. Randy Rodriguez (2-0), the pitcher of record at the time of the five-run uprising, was credited with the win while Walker notched his sixth save. Luis Matos also homered for San Francisco. Kyle Farmer collected two hits and an RBI for the Rockies, who have lost 10 of their last 12. Jake Bird (0-1) took the loss, allowing three runs in 1 1/3 innings of relief. Hunter Goodman and Ryan McMahon also had RBI hits. Rays 3, Yankees 2 Zack Littell tossed seven strong innings and earned the win as visiting Tampa Bay scored twice in the eighth inning and edged New York. Curtis Mead and Jose Caballero had the RBIs in the eighth for the Rays, who snapped a four-game losing streak in which they were outscored 17-3. New York's Ryan Yarbrough, who made the emergency start after Clarke Schmidt was scratched due to side soreness, allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out two over four innings. Astros 8, White Sox 3 Jake Meyers tied a franchise record with 13 total bases to lead visiting Houston to a win against Chicago. Meyers homered twice, tripled, doubled, and drove in a career-high seven runs while hitting in the No. 9 spot. Astros right-hander Hunter Brown (5-1) overcame a rough start to go six innings, allowing three runs and four hits with nine strikeouts and three walks. Andrew Vaughn had two hits and two RBIs for Chicago, which was aiming to win a season-high three in a row. Padres 2, Pirates 1 Fernando Tatis Jr. doubled to lead off the ninth, swiped third and scored on a wild pitch to lift San Diego to the comeback win over host Pittsburgh. Manny Machado started the rally with a solo homer in the seventh as the Padres earned their fourth straight win and eighth in a row over Pittsburgh. Randy Vasquez gave up one run on six hits over five innings, then the bullpen shut the door, with Robert Suarez earning his MLB-leading 13th save. Oneil Cruz walked four times and drove in Pittsburgh's only run with a second-inning single. Pirates starter Bailey Falter allowed one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out six. Cubs 6, Brewers 2 Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a three-run homer and Jameson Taillon threw six quality innings, propelling visiting Chicago to a victory over Milwaukee. Taillon (2-1) allowed two earned runs on three hits as the Cubs clinched the weekend series. They also won their fourth game in their last five tries. Dansby Swanson and Kyle Tucker also homered for Chicago. Jose Quintana (4-1) surrendered six runs on seven hits across five innings, absorbing his first loss as a member of the Brewers. Phillies 7, Diamondbacks 2 J.T. Realmuto hit a three-run homer and Aaron Nola earned his first win of the season as host Philadelphia topped Arizona. Max Kepler added a two-run home run for the Phillies, who improved to 6-1 in their last seven games.

The Mariners have won six straight and nine of their last 10 and clinched their eighth straight series win and second against Texas this season. Tellez's one-out RBI came off Chris Martin (0-4).
