Phillies outright Steward Berroa to Triple-A

Ohtani’s homers traveled a projected 452 and 428 feet at Coors Field. It’s his second two-homer game and his first with either four hits or four runs scored. He’s now up to ninth in the majors with 81 runs scored. He should easily get to 100 for the fifth time, but he’s going to fall well short of his major league-leading totals of 134 in 2024 and 146 last season.

It’s the same line he had in his return from the IL last week against the Royals. Snell got into trouble in the third, when he issued all three of his walks on the evening to consecutive batters. However, he escaped allowing just the one run, and he was great the rest of the night. He’ll likely face the Braves on next Tuesday, unless the Dodgers want to get a little aggressive and start him on four days’ rest Sunday against the Pirates.

The Rockies managed four hits off Díaz’s fastball, which has been a problem since his return. He still has mechanical work to do to regain some movement, but the Dodgers can afford to be fairly patient with him. It would, however, certainly be best if he doesn’t blow another save right away. Given that he threw 23 pitches tonight, he might be down on Tuesday, perhaps giving Tanner Scott a chance to close.

Sugano is 12-9 on the season, but with Shohei Ohtani getting the better of him, he’s now 0-3 with a 9.22 ERA against the Dodgers. He’ll likely make his next start at home against the Guardians on Sunday.

Tucker’s miscue Sunday was a little embarrassing, but he had a solid excuse while fighting the sun. Tonight’s drop was just bad, and it was paired with another poor offensive game, this one in Coors. As rough as Tucker’s year has been, he’s been just fine on the road; he came into tonight hitting .275/.371/.469 away from Dodger Stadium. Denver provided no immediate reprieve for him, however, as he turned in his seventh straight hitless game.

Pérez gave up nine hits, walked two and struck out three. He fell to 8-7 with the loss. This was a nightmare for Pérez. He allowed the first six batters in the first inning to reach and by that point it was 4-0 Twins before he settled in to get through five innings without further damage. He has a 3.15 ERA. Pérez is lined up to face the Brewers on the road this weekend.

Ober gave up six hits, walked one and struck out four. The 31-year-old right-hander hasn’t won a start or recorded more than four strikeouts in a start since July 17 against the Cubs, a span of five starts. Ober has a 4.62 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Padres on the road on Sunday.

The Royals activated Garcia ahead of Monday’s game after he missed nearly two months with hand injury. The 26-year old third baseman didn’t miss a beat with two hits, a run scored and an RBI in his first game back. He’s hitting .264 with a .695 OPS and 31 RBI.

White’s home run was his second of the season. He hit a solo shot off Michael Wacha in the fifth inning. White didn’t hit a home run in his first 25 big league games, but has since hit a home run in back-to-back games. It could be the start of a power-hitting hot streak, though White has mostly struggled overall at hitting for power in professional baseball.

Witt’s home run was his 15th of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Mason Barnett in the second inning. Witt has now homered in back-to-back games after he had previously not hit a home run since July 9 against the Mets, a span of 17 games. Witt’s stolen base was his 33rd of the season. He’s hitting .286 with an .820 OPS and 46 RBI.
