5/2 7:29 PM Aaron Judge (OF/DH-NYY) Aaron Judge knows it’s ‘time to get going’ as Aaron Boone addresses slugger’s place in Yankees’ lineup. BALTIMORE — Neither Aaron Judge nor the Yankees had a successful series against the Orioles, as the slugger’s hit total matched the club’s win total over four games. Judge went just 1 for 13 with four strikeouts in Baltimore, with his only hit, a single, coming in Monday’s shutout loss. Judge isn’t the only reason the Yankees won just one game while scoring six runs against their division ...

5/2 6:31 PM Pete Crow-Armstrong (OF-CHC) Mets-Cubs series finale came with yet another umpire controversy. Another day, another questionable call in the Mets-Cubs series. A little over 12 hours after a game-ending call controversy involving a slide at home plate, umpires in Thursday's matinee game at Citi Field seemingly missed another call after a slide, this time at second base. In the sixth inning, Pete Crow-Armstrong laced a double into right field but overshot the base, using his helmet to hold onto the bag as he was tagged by Mets shortstop Joey Wendle. Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (52) beats a tag by New York Mets second baseman Joey Wendle (13) after hitting a RBI double during the sixth inning at Citi Field.

Author: Brad Wakai May 03, 2024 In this story: Chicago Cubs MLB Jake Wong The Chicago Cubs are coming out of what had to be the whackiest series of the year so far as they split their four-game slate against the New York Mets following an extra-innings loss on Thursday. With that dropped contest, they are now 19-13 on the season and sit one game back of the Milwaukee Brewers , the team they are welcoming in for a huge three-game series starting Friday.

5/2 5:58 PM Jeff McNeil (2B/OF-NYM) Mets' task ahead is figuring out a way to rise out of mediocrity. The Mets' matinee Thursday served as a primer on their topsy-turvy, are they good/are they bad season to date. They didn't play very well in any phase. There were five more steals against (so that is 41 out of 42 successes on the year) and Jeff McNeil tripped over second base trying to cover on one. Joey Wendle, starting at shortstop for Francisco Lindor, had another poor judgment play on defense. McNeil and Starling Marte did not catch a pop-up between them. DJ Stewart was doubled off first not sliding back into the bag. Pete Alonso dropped a pop-up and went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts to drop to 1-for-his-last-26. Reed Garrett botched a grounder. Adrian Houser again could not find the strike

5/2 5:39 PM Nick Pivetta (P-BOS) How Red Sox Pitcher Nick Pivetta Fared In First Rehab Outing. The Boston Red Sox starting rotation isn't being held together by much with three pitchers from the staff currently on the injured list. Nick Pivetta, who was placed on the IL on April 9 due to a right elbow flexor strain, took a step toward rejoining the Red Sox on Thursday night with his first rehab outing with Triple-A Worcester. The veteran right-hander wasn't at his sharpest with Worcester, which felt somewhat inevitable since Pivetta hadn't pitched in a game since April 3. After allowing the first five batters he faced reach base, Pivetta settled in and retired nine straight.
