There is always baseball happening almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Tampa Bay Rays have owned the Toronto Blue Jays this season, and with a two-run lead going into the bottom of the 10th inning, it appeared to be more of the same. Then, the improbable happened. After a pop-out to open the inning, Toronto drew back-to-back walks, loading the bases for center fielder Daulton Varsho, who smacked a line drive to the opposite field and over the left-field wall for a walk-off grand slam. The long ball was just Toronto's sixth hit of the game and gave the Blue Jays their first win over the American League East-rival Rays this season (Toronto is 1-5 against Tampa Bay), that being a 5-3 victory. Varsho, a 2024 Gold Glover, has totaled five home runs, 13 RBIs, 1 win above replacement and two defensive runs saved in center field through 41 games, while owning a .250/.321/.403 slash line. Toronto's other run came off a sacrifice fly from third baseman Kazuma Okamoto in the eighth, while starter Dylan Cease gave up just one run over seven innings. Speaking of slams, enter the "Big Amish." Trailing the St. Louis Cardinals 1-0 with one out in the bottom of the fifth, Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz came to the plate with the bases loaded and delivered, knocking a Matthew Liberatore slider just over the center-field wall. The A's would never look back, with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly from center fielder Henry Bolte who was making his MLB debut and an eighth-inning solo home run from third baseman Zack Gelof adding to their lead, while starter J.T. Ginn, who sports a 3.12 ERA and 1.5 wins above replacement over seven starts/10 appearances, gave up no earned runs over six innings in an eventual 6-2 win. Both teams had 13 hits. After a slow start to the 2026 season, the "Big Amish" has been raking over the last month, with Kurtz recording five home runs, 22 RBIs and a .319/.451/.571 slash line over his last 24 games. Last season, Kurtz totaled 36 home runs, 86 RBIs, a 165 OPS+ and 5.4 wins above replacement over 117 games, while posting a .290/.383/.619 slash line, helping him earn 2025 AL Rookie of the Year honors. The Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs are on polar opposite runs. In defeating the Cubs, 4-1, the Braves have won four consecutive games, giving them the best record in MLB at 30-13, while the Cubs who previously won 10 consecutive games have now lost four in a row. As for the Wednesday night matchup, catcher Drake Baldwin drew first blood for the Braves with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the fourth, his 11th long ball of the year. Granted, Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner leveled the score at 1-all with an RBI single in the top of the fifth. That said, Atlanta took the lead for good in the eighth when outfielder Mike Yastrzemski drove in a run on a double. Then, after shortstop Ha-Seong Kim was thrown out trying to score a second run on the aforementioned Yastrzemski double, left fielder Mauricio Dubn gave the Braves more breathing room, launching a two-run home run to left field. Raisel Iglesias proceeded to shut the door on a 4-1 victory for the Braves in the ninth; the right-handed reliever hasn't surrendered a run over 12 innings pitched this season. The San Diego Padres were on the verge of losing their fourth game in six tries. Then, Gavin Sheets happened. Down 1-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego failed to get either of the first two batters on the basepath in the top of the ninth. Then, designated hitter Miguel Andjar singled and shortstop Xander Bogaerts walked. What followed? Sheets hit a go-ahead, three-run home run to right field off Brewers reliever Abner Uribe. The home run was one of Sheets' two hits on the night and his sixth homer of the season. Sheets and Fernando Tats Jr. accounted for two-thirds of San Diego's hits in what was a 3-1 win (the Padres had six hits), while Mason Miller got the save in the bottom of the ninth. The only other run that was scored came on a fifth-inning RBI force-out by Brewers second baseman Brice Turang off Padres' starter Michael King, who pitched 5 innings. For Milwaukee, it wasted a spectacular outing from young right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, who recorded 10 strikeouts and gave up no runs and just four baserunners (four hits) over seven innings. The Padres have a half-game lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the National League West at 25-17. That happened. It's not a typo. Coming off a 6-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, the New York Yankees logged just one hit and were shutout by their AL East rival on Wednesday, 7-0, dropping a three-game series and recording their fifth loss in six games. For Baltimore, right-hander Kyle Bradish pitched six shutout innings, logging seven strikeouts and giving up just four baserunners (three walks and one hit), with Keegan Akin, Dietrich Enns and Yennier Cano each pitching a scoreless inning, thereafter. As for the bats, the Orioles got an RBI double from designated hitter Coby Mayo in the bottom of the second, a sacrifice fly from catcher Adley Rutschman who later hit a two-run home run in the fifth and an RBI single from first baseman Pete Alonso in the third and a two-run single from second baseman Blaze Alexander in the sixth. Rutschman, a two-time All-Star, has logged six home runs, 24 RBIs, a 151 OPS+ and a .291/.339/.553 slash line through 28 games. The Yankees are averaging just 2.3 runs per game over their last six contests. To make matters worse for New York, star left-hander Max Fried left the game after three innings on Wednesday due to left elbow posterior soreness. Losers of four straight games, the Dodgers turned to Shohei Ohtani to end their slide, and he delivered. The electric right-hander tossed seven shutout innings against the San Francisco Giants, recording eight strikeouts and giving up just six baserunners (four hits and two walks). Tanner Scott and Kyle Hurt each pitched a scoreless inning after Ohtani was relieved, sealing a 4-0 Dodgers' win. As for the offense, Los Angeles got back-to-back solo home runs to lead off the bottom of the third from infielders Santiago Espinal and Mookie Betts. Then, in the fourth, designated hitter Teoscar Hernndez singled in a run and left fielder Alex Call brought home a run on a sacrifice fly. Ohtani, who didn't hit on Wednesday, has pitched through seven innings in back-to-back starts and pitched through at least six innings in each of his seven starts this season. Ohtani owns an NL-best 0.82 ERA and 486 ERA+, an 0.82 WHIP and recorded 50 strikeouts and 1.9 wins above replacement over 44.0 innings pitched. Meanwhile, as a hitter, the four-time MVP has totaled seven home runs, 17 RBIs and five stolen bases, while owning a .240/.370/.427 slash line. New York Mets outfielder A.J. Ewing shined on Tuesday night in what was his first big-league game. On Wednesday, outfielder Carson Benge was the Mets' rookie to shine brightest. With one out in the bottom of the 10th, Benge hit a walk-off single up the middle, giving the Mets a 3-2 victory and a series win over the Detroit Tigers. Benge, whom New York selected with the No. 19 pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, finished the night with a team-high three hits. He has totaled three home runs, 13 RBIs and seven stolen bases across 126 at-bats this season, possessing a .230/.292/.341 slash line. Benge has started at least eight games at all three outfield positions for the Mets. New York's other two runs came on an RBI force-out from left fielder Tyrone Taylor in the second and an RBI single from shortstop Bo Bichette in the seventh. The Mets used five pitchers to get through 10 innings, highlighted by 2 perfect innings of relief from right-hander Huascar Brazobn, who boasts a 2.14 ERA and a 187 ERA+. It had been a while since we had one of these. The Washington Nationals led the Cincinnati Reds 8-6 going into the bottom of the 10th after designated hitter Daylen Lile hit a two-run home run in the top half of the inning, which was his third homer in the last two games. Then, the thing happened. With one out in the bottom of the 10th, Reds first baseman Spencer Steer laced a ball to left field that looked like it had a chance to clear the wall for a game-tying, two-run home run. Well, one Reds fan made sure of that, as he reached over the wall to catch the ball and bring it into the seats. After review, it was determined that it was indeed fan interference, and Steer was given a double, which drove in a run. The Reds would ultimately strand both the tying and go-ahead runs, with the Nationals holding on to win 8-7 and taking the three-game series. Cincinnati actually began the game with a five-run first inning, highlighted by a grand slam from catcher Tyler Stephenson, but Washington responded with a four-run second inning, which included a two-run home run from catcher Keibert Ruiz. The Nationals tied the game at 5-all in the third on a Joey Wiemer walk, with both teams later scoring a sixth run. Washington is now in second place in the NL East at 21-22. The losing streak to the Seattle Mariners ends at nine for the Houston Astros. Yes, in fact, Houston entered Wednesday 0-6 against Seattle this season and having lost nine straight games to its AL West foe dating back to last season. Ironically, it took 10 innings for the Astros to stop their losing streak to the Mariners from reaching 10 games, with outfielder Zach Cole who had a game-high three hits hitting a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th. The 4-3 win snapped a four-game losing streak for Houston, which got its other three runs on a solo home run from Christian Walker which was his 10th of the year and an RBI single from second baseman Jose Altuve in the sixth and a sacrifice fly from Altuve in the eighth. As for the hero of the game, Cole has only appeared in eight games for the Astros this season, but he's batting .304 with two home runs and six RBIs over the 24 plate appearances that he has received. Hang with us here. The Texas Rangers took a 3-2 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks into the top of the ninth and sent Jacob Latz to the mound to close out the game. That did not go as planned. The first four batters all reached base, with right fielder Corbin Carroll doubling, shortstop Geraldo Perdomo drawing a walk, third baseman Nolan Arenado hitting a game-tying, RBI double and first baseman Ildemaro Vargas bringing in two runs on a single. Cal Quantrill relieved Latz, who didn't get an out, and got the Rangers through the inning without giving up another run after the D-backs scored three. But wait, there's more. Two of the first three batters failed to reach base in the bottom of the ninth for the Rangers, but then their bats came to life. Second baseman Ezequiel Durn hit an RBI double, which left fielder Alejandro Osuna followed with a walk. First baseman Jake Burger then hit a game-tying, RBI single, which was followed by catcher Danny Jansen hitting a walk-off double down the left-field line, giving Texas a dramatic, 6-5 win. MLB's 15-game Wednesday slate saw four games go to extra innings and four games end with a walk off.

Despite just seven wins in two seasons, the Florida State coach remains optimistic amid a return to playcalling as the Seminoles look to get back on track

The Preakness Stakes will be run for the 151st time on Saturday, but never in its modern history will it seem less like a part of horse racings Triple Crown.Golden Tempo, the Kentucky Derby winner, is bypassing the race. Despite its $2 million purse, the 14-horse field appears to be one of the weakest in recent memory. And for the first time ever, its at a racetrack that may be gone soon Laurel Park, just north of Washington, D.C. with attendance capped at 4,800.Its still obviously a very historic race, said trainer Chad Brown, who has won the Preakness twice. The race still carries a lot of significance in the overall Thoroughbred industry and the breed.In the sports ideal world, the Preakness would make its triumphant return to Baltimore next year at a sparkling, rebuilt Pimlico that serves as an anchor point for the rebirth of Maryland racing.But in horse racings current reality, where dysfunction and decline have become the norm in all but a handful of places, there is instead deep concern and uncertainty about what the future of the Preakness looks like particularly in a world where the racetrack is being rebuilt and operated by the state of Maryland.Ill be floored if theyre up and running at a new Pimlico next year, one industry source told Yahoo Sports.The future of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course is in question due to a multitude of issues.Rob Carr via Getty ImagesA quick internet search makes it easy to understand the concern. Despite promises that running the Preakness at Laurel this year is a one-off, with a state-funded rebuild of Pimlico on the way, aerial photos from late April posted by the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemens Association show little more than a large hole in the ground where the grandstand should be, the beginning of construction on a tunnel to the infield and steel framing of two backstretch barns.Appearances can be deceiving in the middle of a construction project, but having the site ready to host a world-class sporting event even in a limited form would seem an ambitious goal in a relatively short 12-month window.But beyond the state of Pimlicos reconstruction lies a deeper problem for the second jewel of the Triple Crown: Can Maryland racing even survive under a government-run regime that several Thoroughbred industry insiders view as a boondoggle full of red flags, always at the mercy of the states ever-shifting political winds?I get the history of horse racing, but at some point, you know, we have to get to it sink or swim, Maryland state treasurer Dereck Davis said at a recent Board of Public Works meeting seeking approval for a $3.9 million equipment expense related to Pimlico. Can it survive? We cant keep pouring massive amounts of dollars into this industry just for the third weekend in May.Messy politics, plumbing and payment problemsUnderstanding the Preakness current predicament requires going back at least a couple decades. While the race regularly drew 100,000 fans to the same historic facility where all the greats once ran, including Seabiscuit and War Admiral in a famous 1938 match race that Hollywood recreated for a 2003 motion picture, Pimlico had become a sadder and more obsolete site with each passing year.As far back as 2016 a full 10 years ago Pimlico was only open for 28 days, with the vast majority of Maryland racing taking place at Laurel, a facility that had been renovated multiple times in the 2000s with more room for horses to be trained and housed year-round. In essence, the company that owned both tracks kept Pimlico open almost exclusively to run the Preakness.That company the Stronach Group, more commonly known as 1/ST understandably did not want to invest tens of millions of dollars to maintain a facility that was only open for a few weeks a year and mostly just for one day. The lack of maintenance led to some notable disasters, including a section of the grandstand being condemned and a massive plumbing breakdown on Preakness Day in 2019 with low water pressure and overflowing toilets.Speculation grew over the years that 1/ST might seek to eventually move the Preakness to one of its other tracks like Gulfstream Park near Miami or Santa Anita near Pasadena, California, or perhaps even make Laurel the permanent home. The political establishment in Maryland, however, was dead-set against Baltimore losing such a prestigious international sporting event.The grandstands are pictured before the 150th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 17, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. Emilee Chinn via Getty ImagesBut who was going to pay for Pimlico to be remade into a suitable venue? For years, a stalemate existed between the key stakeholders as the condition of the facility grew worse and worse. At some point, Pimlicos future would come to a head.It gets tougher every year to give the experience that the customer deserves for an event like this, 1/ST chief executive Tim Ritvo said in 2019.The big breakthrough came just before the Preakness two years ago when Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced that ownership of the track was being transferred to the state for $1. With a commitment to rebuild Pimlico and make it the year-round home of Maryland racing, along with other neighborhood improvement initiatives, 1/ST was essentially leaving the scene.For many who have been skeptical of 1/STs future intentions in horse racing the company has made political moves in Florida suggesting it wants to eventually close Gulfstream Park and redevelop the valuable land it sits on it was reason to celebrate.But having a state-run entity operate a racetrack and control one of horse racings most visible days may not be a picnic, either.Since it was originally proposed in 2020, the plan to renovate Pimlico has ballooned from $375 million to more than half a billion, according to the Baltimore Sun, due to cost overruns, tariffs on construction materials and other economic factors like rising yields on the bonds that were issued by the Maryland Stadium Authority to fund the project (i.e. inflation). As a result, some of the plans for Pimlico have been scaled back.Also last year, Marylands stewardship of the project came under question after it bought a $4.5 million farm with the intention of turning it into a new training center.Only after that expensive process, which of course included millions more spent on consultants and attorneys, was the state forced to give up on it due to an environmental issue discovered last fall: The brown trout population of a nearby stream would be threatened by the rising temperature of water runoff. Fixing it would require the $110 million earmarked for the training facility to become more than $200 million.That misstep has raised some alarm bells in the state legislature around its plan to purchase Laurel from 1/ST for $48.5 million and repurpose it as the permanent training facility. Last week, a legislative panel hit pause on that announced transaction to take a closer look at the proposed costs and the practicality of horses constantly making a 28-mile journey between the venues on the main interstate that connects Baltimore and Washington D.C.And because this is horse racing a sport that has experienced broad declines in gambling dollars, attendance and foal population it is rightly raising questions among both political parties about whether Maryland is throwing good money after bad during sensitive economic times.Bill Ferguson, a Democrat who leads the Maryland Senate majority, told Maryland Matters that every dollar has to be scrutinized even further and acknowledged generalized concerns about the long-term stability of the industry.Steve Hershey, the Republican minority leader in the state Senate, told the Baltimore Sun the legislature should be honest about the fact that its success is not guaranteed and be prepared to reassess if the expected benefits do not materialize.Construction crews work at Pimlico Race Course, home of the Preakness Stakes, on May 1.Baltimore Sun via Getty ImagesChurchill Downs Preakness rights purchaseGiven the growing political noise around the Pimlico project and the fact that very little has actually been constructed on site, many Thoroughbred industry executives were heartened by the news last month that Churchill Downs, Inc., had agreed to purchase the Preakness intellectual property rights from 1/ST for $85 million.Though unclear exactly what that entailed, the broad view was that Churchill would be able to operate the Preakness like an external management company, using its expertise putting on the Kentucky Derby to optimize revenue and create an appropriate fan experience for a world-class sporting event.Meanwhile, it seems the move is being interpreted in Maryland as a threat. Citing five sources, the Sun reported Wednesday that the state is considering whether to exercise its contractual right to match the $85 million intellectual property deal Churchill signed, the key to which are lease payments of roughly $5 million to run the race at Pimlico. If the state ever defaulted on those payments, the race could be under threat of moving elsewhere, according to the Sun.Those concerns may not be misplaced. Though Churchill Downs chief executive Bill Carstanjen has framed it as helping the Triple Crowns second jewel return to its former glory, with the state of Maryland in control of the destiny of the Preakness, it seems like an inflection point is coming down the pike.Some sources have speculated that Churchill could just take over Maryland racing, allowing the state to offload an expensive and politically problematic project. Or, in an alternate scenario where horse racing just dies in Maryland, Churchill is waiting in the wings to revive the Preakness at one of its other properties like Colonial Downs outside of Richmond, Virginia.Or maybe, despite all the cost overruns and bureaucratic issues, theres a happy ending where Maryland completes its long-awaited Pimlico renovation and assures the races future in Baltimore for decades to come.Either way, as the 151st Preakness takes place under some of the most unusual circumstances in the history of the Triple Crown, it seems like this long journey to the finish line is in many ways just beginning.
