McCutchen and Reynolds hit game-breaking doubles as Pirates pull away for 9-2 win over Mets
Jun 29, 2025 09:20 AM IST PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen and Bryan Reynolds hit consecutive two-run doubles during a six-run eighth inning Saturday as the Pittsburgh Pirates pulled away for a 9-2 victory over the New York Mets. HT Image The Pirates led 3-2 when Ke'Bryan Hayes singled in a run before McCutchen and Reynols broke open the game. Hayes also had an RBI single in a three-run second that put Pittsburgh ahead 3-1. The game was delayed for 89 minutes during the top of the second with the Mets leading 1-0. The Pirates lifted starter Bailey Falter after the wait. However, the Mets stuck with Paul Blackburn when play resumed and he gave up five straight singles to start the bottom of the second. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza removed Blackburn after the fifth hit. Mendoza didn't stick around much longer, as he was ejected in the fourth by plate umpire Roberto Ortiz for arguing balls and strikes. Braxton Ashcraft relieved Falter and allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings. The Pirates will try to sweep the three-game series Sunday. The Mets have lost 12 of their last 15 games. McCutchen, Hayes, Joey Bart and Nick Gonzales each had two hits for the Pirates. New York got two hits apiece from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo. The Mets struck quickly when Francisco Lindor led off the game with a double and scored on Juan Soto's single. They cut their deficit to 3-2 on Nimmo's RBI single in the fifth. The Mets put the leadoff man on base in the eighth, trailing 3-2, but Caleb Ferguson got Tyrone Taylor to hit into a double play and Brett Baty to ground out. McCutchen played in his 2,200th career game and is the active MLB leader. The series concludes Sunday with Mets RHP Frankie Montas making his second start of the season, facing RHP Mike Burrows .

Pasquantino's big day helps Royals beat Ohtani and Dodgers 9-5 to snap 11-game home skid
Jun 29, 2025 08:57 AM IST KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Vinnie Pasquantino homered, doubled and drove in a career high-tying five runs, and the Kansas City Royals beat Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-5 on Saturday to snap an 11-game home losing streak. HT Image Ohtani made his third start of the season and threw the fastest pitch of his career, a 101.7 mph fastball that induced an inning-ending double-play grounder by Pasquantino in the first. The Dodgers' two-way superstar threw 27 pitches in two scoreless innings. He is working as an opener as he eases back into pitching following Tommy John surgery in 2023. Ohtani went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as LA's leadoff batter. Pasquantino's 430-foot, three-run blast to right-center off Ben Casparius capped a four-run fifth inning for the Royals, who won at Kaufmann Stadium for the first time since May 31. They ended a six-game skid overall. Freddie Freeman went 3-for-3 with a homer for the Dodgers, whose five-game winning streak ended. Infielder Miguel Rojas pitched the eighth. Seth Lugo threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and five walks while striking out eight. Casparius relieved Ohtani in the third and quickly allowed three hits and a pair of runs on Maikel Garcia's two-out double off the left-field wall. Bobby Witt Jr. hit an RBI single in the fifth before Pasquantino went deep. Pasquantino added a two-run double in the seventh. Jonathan India and Witt each had four hits as the top four Royals batters finished with 11 hits and eight runs. LA scored four runs in the ninth. The Royals' four-run fifth was their biggest inning at home since they scored four in the eighth against the Chicago White Sox on May 8. The Royals' 15 home-field home runs are the fewest in the majors. The Dodgers plan to use an opener for Sunday's series finale against Royals LHP Kris Bubic .
