Overview

  • Max Muncy hit two homers, including a ninth-inning shot that forced extra innings, but Freddie Freeman’s 10th-inning double delivered a 6-5 Dodgers victory.
  • The Mets’ bullpen, taxed by Edwin Díaz’s heavy usage and the loss of Mark Vientos to a hamstring injury, was unable to hold late leads for a second straight night.
  • On Monday, Francisco Lindor’s leadoff home run and Francisco Alvarez’s run-scoring double in the 10th inning powered a 4-3 Mets win in the series opener.
  • Willi Castro belted two solo homers and Royce Lewis ended an 0-for-32 drought as the Twins routed the Athletics 10-3, extending Oakland’s skid to eight consecutive losses.
  • Twins starter Pablo López exited with right shoulder tightness after five innings, adding to Minnesota’s injury concerns following recent player setbacks.
