Minnesota rolls into Baltimore riding an eight‑game heater that included last week’s sweep of the Orioles. Manager Rocco Baldelli cites rising confidence as timely hits, steady rotation work, and airtight defense fuel the push. The O’s have dropped six of eight and limp home at 8‑9 in Charm City, desperate for offensive life after scoring five runs just twice in 19 contests. Right‑hander Bailey Ober (4‑1, 3.50 ERA) seeks his fifth win in six starts after a no‑decision last Thursday when he held Baltimore scoreless through four frames. Dean Kremer (3‑4, 5.24 ERA) counters, fresh off a seven‑inning, two‑run effort against these Twins. Kremer stresses staying aggressive regardless of run support, determined to extend his May groove (14 IP, 2 ER). Rain gave both pens

St. Louis rides MLB’s longest 2025 win streak into a day‑night twin bill after Monday’s 3‑2 opener. The club’s “pretend we’re still negative” mantra, as rookie Masyn Winn phrased it, has fostered loose energy despite a modest .236 team average during the run. Tight defense (only four errors in nine games) and timely long balls from Winn, Ivan Herrera and Lars Nootbaar have offset light overall contact, enabling the Cardinals to win six one‑run contests since May 4. Erick Fedde (3‑3, 3.86 ERA) spun his first career shutout last Friday, dodging barrels with a cutter‑sinker mix. He’s fared poorly vs. Philadelphia (2‑7, 5.98 ERA) but enters with a 55 percent ground‑ball rate—key against Citizens Bank Park’s short porch. Lefty Jesús Luzardo (3‑0, 2.11 ERA) counters after

San Jose boasts a league‑best 26 goals, while Lionel Messi headlines Miami’s star‑studded attack. Wednesday’s clash promises fireworks as the red‑hot Earthquakes aim for a fourth straight win and the Herons fight to halt a skid that’s produced four defeats in five matches across competitions. Chicho Arango tops the MLS Golden Boot chart with eight strikes, Josef Martínez adds six, and Cristian Espinoza leads the league in assists (7). DeJuan Jones’ arrival has super‑charged Bruce Arena’s wing play, delivering one goal and two helpers in three outings. Their interchanging runs and high press will challenge Miami’s back line, which has conceded eight goals in its past three league matches. Messi has five league goals yet his supporting cast isn’t clicking. Miami’s careless turnovers and defensive lapses fueled

Arizona’s 10‑6 setback on Tuesday ended a three‑game winning streak, but the Diamondbacks can still escape San Francisco with a road series win. The Giants erupted for 10 runs—more than their previous four games combined—behind Christian Koss’ grand slam and home runs from Willy Adames and Jung Hoo Lee. Whoever captures the matinee gains momentum before inter‑division play resumes this weekend. Once‑in‑“every‑five‑years” talent Jordan Lawlar debuted Tuesday, going 0‑for‑3 with a walk but flashing the speed and quick glove that define his ceiling. The 22‑year‑old slashed .336/.417/.614 with Reno and is expected to rotate across the infield three to four times each week. A first extra‑base hit—or stolen base—could jump‑start an Arizona lineup already powered by Corbin Carroll’s three homers in this series. Eduardo Rodríguez (1‑3, 6.86 ERA) hasn’t won
