Yankees 4, Rays 0
Max Fried took a no-hitter into the sixth while Trent Grisham, Cody Bellinger and Austin Wells each swatted a home run as New York beat host Tampa Bay at the Yankees’ spring training home in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Fried (4-0) initially carried his no-hitter into the eighth inning, but a sixth-inning Paul Goldschmidt error was changed to a Chandler Simpson infield single before Fried started the eighth. He finished with two hits, two walks and two strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings. Anthony Volpe added two hits for the Yankees.

Brewers 14, Athletics 1
Logan Henderson allowed one run in six innings in his big-league debut and Milwaukee set a franchise record with nine stolen bases in a win over the visiting Athletics that claimed the rubber match of the three-game series.
Henderson (1-0), called up Tuesday from Triple-A Nashville, gave up three hits, including a solo homer in the fifth to Seth Brown. The right-hander struck out nine, walked one and finished his outing by striking out the side in the sixth. Tyler Alexander tossed the final three innings for his first career save.
The Brewers stole six bases during a four-run first inning off A’s starter Jeffrey Springs (3-2), who left in the third with right hamstring soreness. Milwaukee had just two hits in the inning, but was aided by three walks, two errors and a run-scoring balk. The Brewers’ previous single-game record for stolen bases was eight, set on Aug. 29, 1992, at Toronto. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the six stolen bases in the first inning were the most by any MLB team in the expansion era (since 1961).

Sanoja blasted a 1-1 pitch over the left field fence to put the Marlins ahead 5-4 in the eighth. After Philadelphia scored on an infield single in the bottom half, Kyle Stowers’ 10th-inning sacrifice fly made it 6-5 and Sanoja’s grounder up the middle plated an insurance run.
Connor Norby added three hits for the Marlins while Dane Myers had two hits and scored twice. Bryce Harper recorded two hits and two RBIs for the Phillies, who had won their previous three games.

Glasnow surrendered three hits while striking out six before being lifted one pitch into the fifth due to lower leg cramps. Ben Casparius (2-0), the fourth of seven Dodgers pitchers, retired all five batters he faced in the sixth and seventh.
The Rangers, who were shut out for the third time this season, were led by Josh Smith’s three singles.
White Sox 8, Red Sox 4

The slumping Brandon Nimmo laced the tie-breaking two-out RBI single in the seventh inning for host New York, which completed a four-game sweep of St. Louis for the first since 1986.
Nimmo, mired in a 3-for-23 slump entering the contest, fell into a 1-2 hole against former teammate Phil Maton before he singled past diving shortstop Thomas Saggese to score Francisco Lindor from second. Soto finished with three RBIs, while Lindor was 3-for-5 with a leadoff homer.
The four-game losing streak ties a season high for the Cardinals, who were outscored 19-9 by New York in the series. Saggese had a two-run double for St. Louis.
Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 2 (11 innings)
Josh Naylor had three hits and two RBIs and drove in the tiebreaking run in the 11th inning as Arizona salvaged the finale of a three-game series against host Chicago.

Rookies Zac Veen and Braxton Fulford each hit their first major league home runs for the Rockies, who have dropped eight straight. Colorado (3-17) is off to the worst start in franchise history. Rockies starter Kyle Freeland (0-4) left the game after two innings due to a blister on the middle finger of his left (pitching) hand.
Angels 5, Giants 4
Jo Adell capped a four-run bottom of the ninth with a one-out, bases-clearing double, delivering Los Angeles a victory over San Francisco in Anaheim, Calif., and denying right-hander Justin Verlander his first win of the season.
After Verlander threw six sharp innings in pursuit of career win No. 263 and Sam Huff hit his first home run since 2023, the Giants took a 4-1 lead into the ninth on the verge of a sixth win on a 10-game trip.
But the Angels, staring at a sixth loss in their last seven games, rallied against Giants closer Ryan Walker (0-1), who walked Mike Trout and served up singles to Jorge Soler and Logan O’Hoppe to load the bases with one out. Zach Neto was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run, then Adell lined a two-strike double into the left field corner for three runs and the victory.
