Olson’s home run was the extent of the Braves’ offense here as they were completely stifled by Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He also drew a walk in the ninth inning, but was stranded at first base. While his .236 batting average has lagged a bit beneath his projections, he has a hit in 20 of his last 26 games since the calendar turned to April and will very likely wind up as one of the most productive run producers in the league when all is said and done this season.

Holmes certainly pitched well enough to win this game if he didn’t have to go up against the red-hot Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Alas, he came out of the gate ready to go against this tough Dodgers lineup. He struck out Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman consecutively to begin the game and retired the first 10 batters he faced overall in order. Then he fell victim to a mini-rally where the Dodgers got two hits on deflected grounders followed by a walk and sacrifice fly. Then, Betts took him deep in his third at-bat, but this was still an amazing start. His slider command was excellent and he buried tons of them on the back-foot of all the talented left-handed hitters in this order. Overall, it was great to seem him pitch well coming off a poor start against the Diamondbacks and he will look to keep the good times rolling in his next scheduled start against the Reds.

That’d be good enough for a win most days, but not with the Braves being limited to one run today. Sale dropped to 1-3 with a 5.84 ERA. The 10-strikeout game was his first in 2025 and 88th of his career. He’s slated to face the Reds next time out.

This appears to just be a day of rest for Verdugo. He’ll get a break against Colorado with Eddie Rosario starting in left field. Michael Harris II moves up to the leadoff spot in Verdugo’s absence.

Busch doubled the Cubs’ lead from 4-0 to 8-0 with a bases-loaded homer — better known as a grand slam — off Quinn Priester in the second inning. He went hitless for the rest of the game, but if you hit a grand slam, you had a good day. Busch has homered six times, driven in 22 runs and forged an OPS of .894 over the first fifth of the season.

Casas injured his left knee while running to first base during the second inning of Friday’s contest against the Twins and had to be carted off the field. It sounds like the 25-year-old slugger could be looking at an extended stay on the injured list. Expect the Red Sox to provide another update on his status, and probably make a couple of roster moves, prior to Saturday’s ballgame.

Santana got the Guardians on the board first in this one with his 345-foot (101.5 mph EV) solo shot off of Chris Bassitt in the second inning. The 39-year-old first baseman also delivered a run0-scoring single in the sixth inning. He’s off to a slow start at the dish this season, slashing just .229/.306/.330 to go with his three long balls and nine RBI. His days of fantasy relevancy are in the rearview mirror.
