The 41-year-old hurler took a while to make his decision to return for the 2025 and had a strong preference to pitch for a team that has its spring training in commuting distance of his family home in Bradenton, Florida, so the Orioles wound up being a perfect match. Morton registered an underwhelming 4.19 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 167/65 K/BB ratio over 165 1/3 innings in 30 starts during his final season with the Braves.

Kelly continues to swing a hot bat for the Cubs, and is now slashing .281/.324/.313 on the month. The veteran catcher drove in his first run of the night in the fourth inning when he singled home Ian Happy, and later drove in Alex Bregman from third on another RBI single in the seventh inning. In a four-run eighth inning for the Cubs, Kelly doubled with the bases loaded to drive home both Bregman and Seiya Suzuki, to put the finishing touches on one of his best nights at the dish. Kelly has had a decent month, but has yet to homer and has only one extra-base hit to show for his efforts over that span.

After retiring the White Sox in order in the first inning, Cabrera would be touched up for a 403-foot solo homer by Colson Montgomery in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1. He would bounce back to allow only one base runner over the next two innings, but in the fifth inning, Cabrera would walk the first two batters he faced, with both eventually coming around to score to cut the Cubs’ lead to 4-3. Cabrera would not escape the inning, as he was pulled following a two-out walk to Sam Antonacci to give him his shortest outing of the season. Cabrera has now allowed three earned runs or more in each of his last seven starts, and has slowly seen his ERA balloon to 4.06 after finishing April with a 3.06 ERA.

After retiring the first two batters he faced to start the game, Burke allowed back-to-back singles to Alex Bregman and Ian Happ, with Happ’s single driving home the Cubs’ first run of the night. Burke would pitch back-to-back scoreless innings in the second and third innings, but allowed three of the first four batters he faced in the fourth to reach base, with Carson Kelly driving in the Cubs’ second run of the night on a single to bring in Ian Happ. Burke would exit with one out in the fifth inning after allowing back-to-back hits to start the frame, with Michael Busch and Seiya Suzuki both doubling home runs. Burke has now struggled in back-to-back outings, allowing 10 earned runs over 8 2/3 innings pitched while letting a combined 17 runners reach base. Prior to his struggles, Burke had allowed four or more earned runs in just one of his seven starts. He’ll look to right the ship in his next outing, which is scheduled for Wednesday at the Mariners.

His first was a lined shot just over PNC’s right-field wall to put the Pirates up 4-0 early against Aaron Nola, then added a no-doubted to right-center off Tim Mayza that still hasn’t landed. (It went 422 feet.) Lowe had only garnered hits in two of his last six games entering this one, but he immediately brought his line back up to .250/.352/.591 on the season with 12 homers and 31 RBI. He’s certainly been a solid find for fantasy mangers picking outside of the top tier of second basemen.

Foscue laced a one-out single into left field in the eighth inning to break up Spencer Arrighetti’s no-hitter. His hit would be the only one of the night for the Rangers, who struggled to get anything going despite only striking out six times as a team. It was just the third hit of the season for Foscue, who was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock earlier this month.

Paredes broke a scoreless tie in the third inning when he blasted a solo shot off Jack Leiter to give the Astros a 1-0 lead. It was all the Astros would end up needing, as starter Spencer Arrighetti would pitch 7 1/3 innings of no-hit baseball before having the no-no broken up by Justin Foscue in the eighth inning. It was just the fourth homer of the season for Paredes, who has now hit safely in four of his last six games and is slashing .265/.368/.388 on the month.
