Murphy received 27 of 30 first-place votes, with Terry Francona and Rob Thomson collecting the remaining three to finish second and third, respectively. The Brewers’ skipper earns the honor for the second straight year after guiding Milwaukee to an impressive 97-win campaign. He’s gone 190-134 (.586) during his two seasons at the helm. He’s just the third manager to take home the honor in back-to-back seasons since 1983, joining Bobby Cox and Kevin Cash.

Talk about a tough break. On the night when Leiter had one of his best outings of the season, the righty was outshone by Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti, who took a no-hitter into the eighth inning. Leiter did everything he could to position the Rangers for a win in this one, but the solo homer he allowed to Isaac Paredes in the third inning proved to be too much to overcome in this one. Leiter has allowed just one earned run in his last two starts while pitching 11 2/3 innings and striking out 12. He’ll look to pick up his second win of the season on Wednesday at the Rockies.

Arrighetti took a no-hitter into the eighth inning but had it broken up by Justin Foscue with one out. Despite walking four batters, Arrighetti never walked more than one batter in any inning and successfully pitched his way out of danger while firing five strikeouts. With this latest outing, Arrighetti has now lowered his ERA to 1.50 on the season while picking up his fifth win. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday on the road against the Twins.

Rice’s first hit came in the third inning when he singled off former teammate Clay Holmes. He would come around to score two batters later via an RBI single by Cody Bellinger, and drove himself home in the ninth inning when he blasted a 415-foot solo homer to give the Yankees a 5-1 lead. It was the 14th homer of the season for Rice, who has now homered four times in May and is slashing .282/.349/.615 on the month.

Soto put the Mets on the board in the seventh inning when he blasted a 417-foot homer to center off of Cam Schlittler to end the shutout. It’s the sixth homer of the season for Soto, who was responsible for one of the Mets’ five hits on the evening. Soto has now hit safely in three of his last four games but is slashing a dismal .174/.250/.348 on the month.

That makes back-to-back games with multiple hits and a homer for McLain, who snuck one over the left field porch against Peyton Pallette in an eighth-inning add on that the Reds turned out to very much need. McLain has raised his season line from .205/.310/.311 to .223/.330/.369 in the last two games. He’s still not running as much as we’d like, but fantasy managers can feel free to hope this turns into a JJ Bleday-esque hot streak.

It was his first three-hit effort of the season, even if two of the hits were singles and he didn’t provide much juice with them. Ramírez fought hard to undo his ghastly 25 at-bats in March with a .250/.384/.500 April, but he’s hit just .216/.359/.255 in May and entered play today with a .207 average for the season. This effort raised it to .220. The underlying metrics continue to believe that Ramírez will pull out of this, as he has a .370 xwOBA against a .318 actual wOBA. It is worth noting that his strikeout rate has creeped up to 14.2 percent this year, but fantasy managers should expect him to come alive sooner rather than later.

Holmes held his former team scoreless through the first two innings but ran into some trouble in the third inning. After retiring the first two batters he faced in the frame, Holmes would allow back-to-back singles to Ben Rice and Aaron Judge, who were then driven home by back-to-back doubles from Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm. Holmes would retire Ryan McMahon on strikes to end the inning, but was charged with one more earned run in the fifth inning after being pulled for Austin Warren. Holmes took a 111.1 MPH liner off the leg from Spencer Jones with no outs in the fourth inning, but stayed in the game despite the scary situation. He struck out a season-high eight batters despite having his shortest and arguably his worst outing of the season. He draws another tough start in his next outing, which is scheduled for Wednesday on the road against the Nationals.

It was business as usual for Schlittler, who struck out a season-high nine batters while allowing just three to reach base. Schlittler took a one-hit shutout into the seventh inning, but lost it on a leadoff homer by Juan Soto to give the Mets their first run on the night. Schlittler continues to be one of the most dominant arms in baseball, now boasting a 1.35 ERA and 0.78 WHIP on the season. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Blue Jays.

Up 6-1 in the eighth inning, we weren’t really expecting to have a save chance to write about for the Reds today. But Graham Ashcraft went Graham Splat, loading the bases with walks and allowing an RBI single without recording an out before Brock Burke walked in two more in relief of him. Having already used Pierce Johnson and Tony Santillan, the Reds turned to Antone, who allowed a triple to Kyle Manzardo but got three other batters out between that. Does this mean the Reds have a new closer? No, it means this game was weird. But Antone has good stuff and certainly could factor into what has become a full-blown committee in Emilio Pagán’s absence.
