Our top 3 Moments of the Day

Murakami is one of just four players ever to homer in each of their first three career games, putting him alongside Chase DeLauter in a ridiculous opening week.

Christian Yelich came off the bench and launched a 421-foot three-run shot in the eighth, fueling a six-run rally that erased a 7-2 deficit and sealed the sweep.

Caissie’s first homer with the club was a two-run walk-off, capping a comeback win and marking Miami’s first 3-0 start since 2009.

Top games from around the league

Mariners 8, Guardians 0 — Hancock dominates as Mariners cruise behind near no-hit effort

The Mariners controlled this one from start to finish, and it all started with Emerson Hancock. He held the Guardians hitless through six innings, striking out nine and allowing just a walk and a hit by pitch in a dominant outing.

Seattle gave him plenty of support early. Leo Rivas got the scoring started with an RBI single, then Brendan Donovan broke things open with a three run homer to put the Mariners firmly in control.

From there, the offense kept adding on while the pitching never let Cleveland get anything going. The bullpen finished it off cleanly, completing the shutout and sealing one of the most complete performances of the early season.

Pirates 4, Mets 3 — Pirates come through late to steal one in extras

The Pirates finally broke through in extras after another tight one with the Mets, and this time they made it count.

After struggling all series with runners in scoring position, Pittsburgh delivered in the 10th. Ryan O’Hearn came through with the go-ahead RBI single, then Henry Davis added a huge insurance run a few batters later to give them breathing room.

It got interesting in the bottom half when Juan Soto ripped an RBI double, but the game flipped on a huge relay from Oneil Cruz to Jared Triolo to Henry Davis, cutting down Francisco Lindor at the plate. That play ended up being the difference.

José Urquidy slammed the door from there, locking down the save and giving the Pirates their first win of the season.

Blue Jays 5, Athletics 2 — Okamoto gets first big league homer as Blue Jays finish sweep

The Blue Jays kept rolling and wrapped up the sweep with another strong all-around win. George Springer got them going right away with a leadoff homer, then Jesús Sánchez added a two run shot in the third to give Toronto some breathing room.

Then came the big moment for Kazuma Okamoto.

In the fourth inning, Okamoto launched his first Major League home run, a 420-foot shot to right-center that kept carrying and gave the Blue Jays another big swing in a weekend full of them. It was one more sign of how comfortable he already looks in this lineup.

On the mound, Eric Lauer gave Toronto exactly what it needed. He worked 5.1 innings, allowed just two runs, and struck out nine before the bullpen took over and finished things off cleanly.

The Athletics made things a little interesting when Max Muncy went deep in the fifth, but they never fully got back into it.
