Yankees' Clarke Schmidt To Get MRI After Leaving Start Against Toronto Because Of Forearm Tightness
Schmidt allowed three runs and four hits – including a home run – in New York's 8–5 loss that left the Yankees a game behind the Blue Jays for the AL East lead. He walked two and struck out one. Schmidt said he's been dealing with soreness in his arm for the past three or four weeks. 'Earlier on in the game it felt OK,' Schmidt said. 'As the game progressed it sort of tightened up a little bit on me. I felt like the whole night I was kind of guarding it a little bit on the breaking balls, really not ripping them or trying to get a lot behind them.'
Schmidt threw 55 pitches – 31 strikes. Schmidt is 4–4 with a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts. He left a June 21 start against Baltimore after throwing a career-high 103 pitches in seven hitless innings, part of a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings. 'Any time you're getting an MRI on your forearm or whatever the body part is, you're not feeling happy about it,' Schmidt said. 'I'm praying everything is going to be clean and minor. We'll see what happens.'
Right-hander Clayton Beeter replaced Schmidt to begin the fourth. Beeter allowed three runs in 1 2/3 innings and took the loss.

Emotions run high, as 4 Angels batters are hit by pitches in 8-5 win over Rangers
ANAHEIM, Calif. – The benches cleared in the eighth inning of the Los Angeles Angels' 8-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, and even though no punches were thrown, emotions ran high after the game. Rangers reliever Shawn Armstrong hit Zach Neto and Mike Trout with consecutive pitches to load the bases, prompting Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery to walk toward the plate, wave his arms, and yell at Texas manager Bruce Bochy. 'I just heard the yelling, and that was enough,' Bochy said. '(Hitting guys intentionally) was the last thing (we were trying to do). I brought Armstrong in to keep them from scoring a run. But I guess we hit somebody and it's intentional, but when they hit (Rangers shortstop Corey) Seager it's not. I just thought that was enough.' Montgomery said his outburst was fueled in part by Neto being hit by Patrick Corbin in the first inning and Luis Rengifo being hit by Caleb Boushley in the seventh, but he did not accuse the Rangers of purposely throwing at the Angels. 'You hit our second baseman, our shortstop (twice), and then Mike (Trout) – the only thing I said was, 'How many times are you going to hit a guy?'' Montgomery said. 'I wasn't insinuating that they were intentionally doing it by any means. When that happens, everybody's angry in the moment. I was just frustrated that our guys were getting hit, and I wanted him to command the ball a little bit better.' The Angels appreciated the fight their manager showed. 'I think the boys loved it – he's sticking up for his guys,' Trout said. 'I've been saying it since day one. We have a tight group here; we play for each other.' The Angels trailed 4-3 in the sixth inning when they rallied for four two-out runs. Gustavo Campero hit an RBI double for a 4-all tie, Yoán Moncada lined a pinch-hit two-run single to right for a 6-4 lead, and Neto added an RBI double for a 7-4 lead. The Angels were outhit 14-6 but still found a way to win for the fourth time in five games, improve to 53-55, and move to within four games of an AL wild-card spot ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Texas (56-52) is one game out of the playoff picture. Veteran closer Kenley Jansen, the subject of trade rumors while the Angels determine whether they will add players or shed players before the deadline, threw a scoreless ninth for his 20th save, extending his consecutive scoreless streak to 17 games. 'I still believe in this team, man,' Jansen said of the Angels, who are trying to snap a 10-year playoff drought. 'It's up to the front office to determine what direction they go, but if they can figure out how we can improve, we have an offense that can win ballgames. I like this group of guys. I want to be a part of turning this franchise around.'

O'neill homers again as orioles rout blue jays 16-4 in the opener of a doubleheader
Tyler O'Neill homered for a fourth straight game, and the Baltimore Orioles tied a major league record with five sacrifice flies on Tuesday in a 16-4 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays in the opener of a doubleheader. Ramón Urías homered twice, and Gunnar Henderson also went deep for the last-place Orioles, who have outscored the AL East leaders 27-8 in the first two games of this series. Charlie Morton (7-8) allowed three runs in six innings for the Orioles, yielding a two-run homer by Addison Barger in the fourth. Baltimore loaded the bases with nobody out in the first and third against Blue Jays starter Easton Lucas (3-3). O'Neill and Cedric Mullins hit sacrifice flies in the first, and Urías and Mullins did so in the third. Toronto fought back to within a run before the Orioles scored six in the sixth. Henderson hit an RBI single, and O'Neill followed with a three-run shot. Then Urías hit a drive to center that made it 9-3. Henderson added a three-run shot, and Urías hit another solo homer in the seventh. Joey Loperfido hit a solo homer for Toronto in the eighth. Ali Sánchez, who caught the first seven innings, pitched the eighth for the Blue Jays. He struck out fellow catcher Alex Jackson swinging on a looping pitch clocked at 35 mph. Jackson Holliday hit Baltimore's fifth sacrifice fly later that inning. Key moment: With another game still to come, the Blue Jays left reliever Lazaro Estrada in to allow six runs in 3 1/3 innings. He hit two of the first three Baltimore batters in the sixth to start that big rally. Key stat: The sacrifice fly became official in 1954, and the Orioles are the fourth team to hit five in a game since then. The most recent had been Seattle in 2008.

Díaz's walk-off single lifts the Padres to a wild 7-6 win against the Mets
SAN DIEGO (AP) – Elías Díaz singled with two outs in the ninth inning to bring in Jose Iglesias with the winning run, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-6 in a wild game Monday night to end their seven-game winning streak. The Padres chased Díaz into shallow right field in celebration. Iglesias, who played for New York last year, reached on a bunt that new Mets reliever Gregory Soto (0-3) fielded and threw wide of shortstop Francisco Lindor, allowing Xander Bogaerts to take second. Iglesias advanced on Jake Cronenworth's bunt that forced Bogaerts at third and then scored on Díaz's single to left-center. Ronny Mauricio tied the game for the National League East-leading Mets with a one-out homer in the ninth off All-Star closer Robert Suarez (3-4), who was trying for his major league-leading 31st save. Padres starter Dylan Cease was hit in the back of the head by a one-hopper off Lindor's bat with one out in the third but remained in the game after being checked by trainers. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected one batter later by plate umpire Emil Jimenez after Juan Soto took a called third strike. The Mets took a 5-1 lead in the fifth when Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam, one inning after right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob him of a two-run homer. The Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning on seven hits and a walk, as well as a break when reliever Huascar Brazobán was late covering first on Cronenworth's two-out shot to first baseman Pete Alonso that went for an RBI single. The highlight was Luis Arraez's two-run homer high off the right-field foul pole, followed by an epic bat flip. Key moments include Tatis robbing Vientos and then making a sliding catch of Mauricio's sinking liner in the sixth. A key stat: It was the Padres fifth walk-off win this season. Up next, Mets Left-Handed Pitcher Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.19 ERA), who pitched for the Padres in 2022, is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn't announced a starter.
