TJ Rumfield blasts go-ahead homer in victory

Alonso hit a 407-foot homer off Brendan Beck in the third, extending a streak in which his last seven hits had been homers. He broke that up with a single in the fourth, but he went on to homer again in the seventh anyway. That one left the bat at 113 mph and was projected at 471 feet. If that holds up, it’d be tied for the second longest in his career, behind a 489-footer he hit as a rookie. Alonso is up to 43 homers, giving him two more than Yordan Alvarez and Junior Caminero for the AL lead. He’s tied Alec Burleson for first in the majors with 113 RBI, putting him 11 in front of Alvarez for the AL lead.

Rogers departed after just 55 pitches, costing him an easy win in a 7-1 game, but he had no complaints after the game. He’ll take a 10-11 record and a 4.03 ERA into free agency this winter. His final 20 starts produced a 2.90 ERA and a 119/21 K/BB in 121 innings.

It was Beavers’ first career slam and eighth homer in 108 games this year. His stock has taken a hit with his lack of success offensively and defensively this year, and he probably shouldn’t be penciled into Baltimore’s 2027 outfield at this point. He’s hitting .229/.308/.367 with two games to go.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old right-hander. Cornielle made 21 appearances across four minor league levels in 2026, registering a 3.39 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and an 89/48 K/BB ratio over 85 innings of work.

Beck was promoted prior to the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Orioles where he gave up seven runs on six hits over five innings of work in a losing effort. He’ll continue to function as extra pitching depth for the Yankees.

The 36-year-old hurler landed on the injured list in late August with right elbow discomfort and then diagnosed with a partially torn UCL. The expectation is that he’ll ultimately have Tommy John surgery, though that decision has not yet been made.

Edman had started in each of the Dodgers’ last five games, but he’ll get a breather in this one as we head into the final weekend of the regular season. Enrique Hernandez will draw a start at second base and will bat ninth against Giants’ right-hander Yunior Marte.

It looks to be just a routine breather for Raleigh as we head into the final weekend of the regular season. Jhonny Pereda will start in his place behind the dish and will bat seventh against Angels’ southpaw Reid Detmers. Expect to see Raleigh back behind the dish on Saturday.

It’s the second straight game that Williams has missed due to upper extremity soreness. He’s still considered day-to-day. Donovan Walton will start in his place at shortstop and will bat sixth for the A’s against Astros’ ace Hunter Brown on Friday evening in West Sacramento.

The 31-year-old righty was designated for assignment on Wednesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Guardians.
