Naylor gave the Guardians a commanding four-run lead with his seventh-inning no-doubter to right field against Twins reliever Brock Stewart. The 25-year-old backstop has homered in back-to-back games and is up to four round-trippers on the season.

Clase got the call to protect a three-run lead in the final frame after Cade Smith recorded the final two outs of the seventh and managed to hang on for his first save since April 19. He struck out Carlos Correa and Ty France in addition to giving up singles to Trevor Larnach and Ryan Jeffers, which put the tying run to the plate with two outs. He uncorked a wild pitch, which brought home a run, before striking out Kody Clemens on a 100.3-mph cutter to end it. It’s safe to say that Clase is definitely back in the closing mix for Cleveland until further notice.

Ortiz gave up just three hits, struck out five and only handed out a pair of free passes. He wasn’t exactly overpowering, generating just 10 swinging strikes. However, he managed to throw enough strikes with his five-pitch mix to keep the Twins off-balance, allowing just four hard-hit batted balls with exit velocities over 95 mph. He’ll bring a respectable 4.78 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 36/16 K/BB ratio across 32 innings (six starts) into a road tilt on Monday against the Nationals.

Williams indicated afterwards that he would have preferred to keep going. He didn’t have much luck on a few of the singles he gave up, and while the homer he allowed was hit 403 feet to center, it would have left only 10 ballparks. Williams has been alternating good starts and bad ones on his way to a 2-2 record and a 5.14 ERA, so that means he’ll be better next time out in Toronto, right?

Evan in a month where Contreras didn’t exactly live up to his lofty expectations, the approach never changed. With two free passes, he’s drawn two walks in back-to-back games, and his on-base percentage is a very healthy .376 over the first 30 games of 2025. He’s also hit a decent .260 in that timeframe, but fantasy managers are still waiting to see some pop from Contreras on a more consistent basis with just three five -base hits over 107 at-bats. The pop should start showing up, as he’s far too talented a hitter to be slugging just .365 for much longer.

Realmuto had not homered since April 15, but the 34-year-old backstop took Eduardo Salazar deep to extend the Phillies lead to 7-2. He also singled to improve his slash to a still-shaky .237/.308/.361 over the first 30 games of the 2025 campaign. If not for the positional value, Realmuto would be unplayable. Because he’s a catcher, you can probably do worse. Weird how that works.

MLB.com’s Kennedi Landry reports Higashioka may require a trip to the injured list, but that hasn’t happened yet. The Rangers are bringing veteran Tucker Barnhart up from the minors as emergency catching depth behind starter Jonah Heim.
