Torres drove in a run on a groundout in the second, and two innings later, he singled home two to extend the Tigers’ lead to 6-0. Torres has now driven in just four runs on the season ,but he’s been able to hit .389/.476/.556 over his five games. That’s not sustainable, of course, but it’s nice to see some early results for the 28-year-old in his first year in the Motor City.

Yes, there were some defensive gaffes made in this game, but one of them was made by Alexander, so he can’t yell at his teammates when they’re playing video games later Monday night. The 30-year-old has not pitched well in his last two outings, and there’s very little reason to trust Alexander as a fantasy option. He’s scheduled to face the Athletics over the weekend. You can do better.

Skubal has now gone back-to-back starts without allowing a run, and the defending Cy Young winner lowered his ERA to 2.66 in the process. He generated 16 swings-and-misses on just 91 pitches, and looked like the 2024 version — again — after a couple of so-so outings to begin the year. Skubal is a must-start against anyone, and that includes the Royals over the weekend.

Holmes allowed two hits, walked two and struck out eight. He’s been too inefficient to pitch deep into games thus far, but he’s 2-1 with a 3.66 ERA and the Mets have won three of his four starts. He’ll face the Cardinals next.

Ryan had the same line as Clay Holmes — they even both had eight strikeouts and two walks — but he was left with a no-decision and Holmes got the win after the Mets took a lead in the top of the sixth. Ryan’s sweeper was ridiculously effective tonight, accounting for seven whiffs, 13 strikes and one ball the 14 times he threw it. He might need to mix that in more frequently against the Braves on Sunday.

The Mets kept quiet about any reason for sitting Winker while he was missing, but it turned out he was dealing with some sort of illness. He definitely had a rough game tonight, popping up twice and striking out in his other plate appearances, so it might be a few more days before he’s right.

Correa batted fifth tonight, which is the lowest he’s hit this season. He might be dropped further tomorrow. He does have five doubles, but he’s yet to homer in 16 games, and he’s driven in just three runs. The Twins’ offensive issues are hardly all his fault, but a .456 OPS just isn’t getting it done.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said late Monday that Siri underwent an MRI and CT scan that revealed the fracture. The 29-year-old center fielder suffered the injury during Saturday’s game against the Athletics when he fouled a ball hard off his left shin. He’s going to wind up missing several months, even in a best-case scenario. It’ll be Tyrone Taylor getting the bulk of the playing time in center field in his absence for now.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., Ben Rice and Austin Wells joined Grisham in taking Seth Lugo deep tonight. Grisham has cooled off some, and he was on the bench three of the previous four games before filling in for Cody Bellinger tonight. He’s still at an incredibly impressive .343/.410/.747 in 39 plate appearances for the season, and there is the chance that the Yankees could eventually give him Jasson Domínguez’s lineup spot, even if that’s certainly not how they hope it will work out.

Bobby Witt Jr.'s third-inning homer was the only hit surrendered by Carrasco. The 38-year-old righty struck out four and walked two in the 79-pitch outing. While Carrasco’s ERA stands at 5.94, the Marcus Stroman injury ensured that he would survive Clarke Schmidt’s return. He’ll face the Rays this weekend.

Pitching with a three-run lead, Williams did twice bring the tying run to the plate after allowing a single and a walk. He managed to escape from there, though, and work a scoreless inning for the third time in six appearances. He still hasn’t had a perfect frame while allowing seven hits and six walks in five innings.

All of the runs came in the second, and Walker made things a whole lot worse then by throwing a potential double-play ball into center field with one out and only one run in. Walker did well afterwards, allowing just one hit over his final three innings of work, but the damage was done. He’ll get the Marlins next.

Campbell’s third-inning blast against Rays emerging ace Shane Baz left his bat at 104.5 mph and cleared everything out beyond the left-field fence at George M. Steinbrenner Field. It was his third big fly of the year. The 22-year-old rookie was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal series opener as the Red Sox mustered just one run on five hits and lost for the sixth time in their last 10 games since April 6. Not good.

It’s difficult to describe how badly Houck is struggling right now. He was knocked around for a staggering 10 hits in this one, including home runs by veteran Yandy Díaz and rookie Kameron Misner, as he melted down in truly spectacular fashion on Monday night at George M. Steinbrenner Field. He notched only one strikeout, issued two walks and was pulled after just 61 pitches (36 strikes). The 28-year-old righty has recorded two strikeouts or fewer in three of his four starts to open the year and holds a calamitous 9.16 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 11/9 K/BB ratio across 18 2/3 innings. He’s clearly better than this, but taking some time to reset mentally might not be a bad idea.

Valdez was called up with Nick Gonzales got hurt, but he’s seen more time at first than second so far. The big effort from the cleanup spot tonight gives him a .207/.303/.379 line in 11 games. He’ll keep playing for now, but unless the Pirates are willing to cut Adam Frazier (fat chance), he might not have a role on the team after Spencer Horwitz comes off the IL.

There were three errors in the two-run sixth, one of which came on a pickoff attempt from Skenes (his second of those on the night). Fortunately, Skenes limited the damage from there. He managed a mere 10 whiffs in the 99-pitch outing, but he produced mostly soft contact; just three of the 16 balls in play against him were hit hard. He’ll take a 2-1 record and a 2.96 ERA into his start Sunday against the Guardians.

Hayes’ revamped swing, designed to take some pressure off his troublesome back, is producing quite a bit of hard contact; he has a 52% hard-hit rate and he’s doing a better job of getting the ball into the air than usual. That he’s also attempting some steals (3-for-3 so far) makes him of some interest in shallow leagues. There are certainly worse stopgaps out there.

Riley took Blue Jays lefty starter Easton Lucas deep in the third and fifth innings, respectively, for his seventh career multi-homer performance. The 28-year-old power-hitting third baseman hasn’t exactly gotten off to a torrid start, but he’s batting a robust .288 (19-for-66) with four homers and 11 RBI through 16 games. He eclipsed the 30-homer mark in three consecutive seasons prior to last year’s injury-marred campaign and seems like a strong bet to get back there, if he can avoid the injured list.

Murphy has been on an absolute tear, going deep four times in just six contests since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list. The 30-year-old backstop hasn’t really made any changes besides wearing glasses for the first time in his career. It seems to be paying off since he’s posted a sky-high 1.203 OPS since making the switch.

Holmes was staked to an eight-run lead by the fifth inning and carried a no-hit bid into the sixth before serving up a leadoff homer to light-hitting Myles Straw. He was charged with two additional runs before departing with two outs in the eighth. He struck out four and only issued two walks in the longest start of his career. It was an extremely impressive performance, which certainly helps further cement his spot in Atlanta’s crowded rotation. He’ll carry a strong 3.78 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 15/10 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings (three starts) into a home matchup on Sunday against the Twins.

Lucas kicked off a two-start week with an abysmal outing where he surrendered six hits, including three homers. It was Sean Murphy who tagged him for a two-run shot in the opening frame before Austin Riley connected for a pair of homers later on. He finished with three strikeouts and handed out four free passes. He’ll attempt to rebound on Sunday with a home outing against the Mariners.

It sounds like Giolito is going to need at least one additional start following Tuesday’s upcoming outing based on Red Sox manager Alex Cora’s remarks. The 30-year-old righty is making his way back from a hamstring strain and should join Boston’s rotation by the end of April.
