MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 2, New York Mets 0 Washington Nationals 4, Chicago Cubs 3 Minnesota Twins 7, Chicago White Sox 3 – 12 Innings Tigers 2, Mets 0 – Justin Verlander gives up 2 HRs in Tigers’ 2-0 win over Mets Justin Verlander gave up back-to-back home runs in his New York Mets debut and Eduardo Rodriguez threw eight scoreless innings and the Detroit Tigers completed a three-game sweep with a 2-0 win. Riley Greene and Javier Baez hit solo homers off Verlander in the first inning and that was enough offense for Detroit. Rodriguez gave up just two hits and one walk while striking out nine. Alex Lange pitched the ninth for his fifth save. Verlander settled in after his rough start, showing signs of the form that made him one of the game’s all-time greats. Nationals 4, Cubs 3 – Call’s walk-off homer gives Nationals 4-3 win over Cubs Alex Call hit a game-ending homer leading off the ninth inning, and the Washington Nationals recovered after blowing a 3-0 lead to beat Chicago 4-3 and take three of four from the skidding Cubs. Call lofted the only pitch from Brad Boxberger just inside the left-field foul pole and was greeted at the plate by exuberant teammates, who dumped a bucket of blue Gatorade on his head. Washington led 3-0 after seven near-flawless innings by starter Patrick Corbin, but the Cubs tied it in the 8th against Hunter Harvey. Kyle Finnegan pitched out of a jam in the 9th for the win. Twins 7, White Sox 3 – F/12 – Correa, Buxton lift Twins over White Sox in 12 innings Carlos Correa drove in a run during Minnesota’s five-run 12th inning, and he and Byron Buxton homered to lift the Twins over the Chicago White Sox 7-3 Thursday and avoid a three-game sweep. The AL Central-leading Twins had lost three of four. Correa spurred Minnesota to victory hours after downplaying remarks from Chicago reliever Keynan Middleton, who called Correa “a cheater.” Eloy Jiménez homered for the White Sox, who ended a three-game winning streak.

Haase had five RBIs in the first game, including a go-ahead single in the eighth inning of a 6-5 comeback win, and then added one of Detroit’s two homers off Scherzer in the nightcap. The slumping Mets have lost eight of 10. They were playing their second consecutive doubleheader in three days after getting rained out three times since Saturday. New York had gone 25 doubleheaders without getting swept, since Washington took both games from the visiting Mets on Sept. 26, 2020. That was the second-longest such streak of the expansion era. Nationals 2, Cubs 1 – Abrams, Nats squeeze past Cubs for 2nd straight night, 2-1 CJ Abrams had a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning for the second consecutive game, and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on a damp and unseasonably chilly Wednesday night. After Marcus Stroman pitched six crisp innings for the Cubs, the Nationals went ahead on four pitches by Adbert Alzolay. Lane Thomas tripled down the left-field line, the first extra-base hit of the game, and Abrams lined the next pitch to center. Jake Irvin held the Cubs to two hits over 4 1/3 innings in his major league debut, and five Nationals pitchers limited Chicago to six singles. White Sox 6, Twins 4 – Keynan Middleton, Eloy Jiménez help White Sox beat Twins 6-4 Eloy Jiménez hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4 for their third straight victory. Luis Robert Jr. homered as Chicago secured its first series win of the season. Tim Anderson and Yasmani Grandal each had three hits and Keynan Middleton worked the ninth for his first save of the season. The White Sox will try for a three-game series sweep on Thursday afternoon. They dropped 10 in a row before their win streak.

But the Stars lost 5-4 to Seattle in Game 1 of their second-round series on Tuesday night. Stars coach Pete DeBoer says he’s ashamed that the team wasted such an epic performance.

Kraken 5, Stars 4 – OT – Epic return by Pavelski goes to waste as Stars lose Game 1 Joe Pavelski became the oldest player ever with a four-goal game in the NHL playoffs, and did it in his return two weeks after going into concussion protocol. That still wasn’t enough for the Dallas Stars. The 38-year-old Pavelski scored all four of their goals, including two in the third period to force overtime. But the Stars lost 5-4 to Seattle in Game 1 of their second-round series on Tuesday night. Stars coach Pete DeBoer says he’s ashamed that the team wasted such an epic performance.

Luna is a 3 year old female dog who just joined Paws of Hope last Sunday. She owes her unique looks to her Chihuahua lineage and a mystery mix that we suspect might include Dachshund and maybe some type of terrier such as Rat Terrier. Luna only weighs 12 pounds. We have learned that Luna enjoys going for walks, sitting by a window where she can observe nature and the neighbors, and gets along well with the cats in her foster home. We suspect that Luna will do well with most dogs, although we haven’t yet introduced to other dogs. So far, Luna has been a very quiet girl and seems to prefer to be near her foster mom, either on her lap or beside her. Luna has mild “cherry eyes” but doesn’t rub her eyes or have discharge. She was just spayed on Wednesday, is microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccinations. Please reach out to Paws of Hope at [email protected] to learn more about our lovely Luna.
