At Call to the Pen, we want to ensure every MLB team is getting coverage, and that you’re well-informed as the reader! As part of that, we will be including a daily piece into our collection with all of the night’s scores in the major leagues, the top performers in the minors, the minor league schedules, and a bit of history/birthdays at the very end.
Without further adieu, let’s begin!
MLB Scores
New York Yankees 7, Detroit Tigers 4 in Detroit, Game 1 – Luis Severino was strong in picking up his 9th win and the Yankees offense got a 6-run explosion in the 4th inning to ice the game in Game 1 Monday.
Detroit Tigers 4, New York Yankees 2 in Detroit, Game 2 – The Tigers offense jumped out on Domingo German in game 2 of the doubleheader, and Mike Fiers kept Yankees bats at bay for much of the game as the Tigers got the doubleheader split, in spite of a monstrous home run by Giancarlo Stanton after an early HBP from Fiers.
Los Angeles Angels 9, Kansas City Royals 6 in Los Angeles – The Royals came out hard on Angels pitching, but the Angels offense was able to take advantage of the Royals bullpen for 7 runs from the 5th inning on to take the win.
San Francisco Giants 10, Arizona Diamondbacks 3 in San Francisco – The Giants put up 7 runs on Arizona starter Zach Godley in the bottom of the 4th, and they coasted from there to a home win to bring them back to .500.
San Diego Padres 11, Atlanta Braves 4 in San Diego – Julio Teheran’s velocity was off on the night, and Padres hitters took advantage in a 7-run 5th inning to seal the win.
Monday Standouts
This really should be the “non-Mike Trout” division as he could be a good candidate here every day. On Monday, he went 3-4 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBI without even garnering an extra base hit. He also drew a walk.
Luis Severino picked up his 9th win with forte on Monday, going 8 innings, allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 4 hits and no walks, striking out 10 Tigers to give the Yankees the Game 1 win in their Monday doubleheader.
