Just 15 games into his career, and he already has a career game. Along with top prospect BOS 3B Roman Anthony — the Red Sox might have their future. Tampa Bay kept pace, tying the game in the fifth with a two-run homer from Yandy Díaz followed by a solo shot from Abraham Toro, briefly erasing Boston’s lead. But the Sox reclaimed control just moments later when Toro answered right back with a go-ahead homer of his own. After that, Boston’s bullpen clamped down, holding the Rays scoreless over the final four innings. It was a game defined by momentum swings and clutch swings, with Mayer’s breakout performance stealing the spotlight. Boston is now 34-36 and sits in 4thplace in the AL Tampa Bay is now 36-32 and sits in 3rdplace in the NL Guardians Destroy Reds Despite 2 HRs a Team The Guardians poured it on early and never let up in an 11–2 rout of the Reds on June Cleveland opened the scoring in the first with a 3B José Ramírez RBI double, but the big blow came in the third inning when 1B Carlos Santana crushed a grand slam to right-center, capping off a five-run frame. CIN SS Elly De La Cruz tried to spark the Reds with a towering 441-foot solo homer in the fourth, but the Guardians answered right back with two more runs off a CLE 1B Kyle Manzardo double.

A soft infield single by CLE 2B Angel Martínez extended the lead, and CLE Will Brennan’s pinch hitter, OF Lane Thomas, punctuated the game with a three-run homer to make it 11–2. Cleveland’s offense was sharp from top to bottom, capitalizing on nearly every scoring opportunity, while the Reds’ pitching unraveled early and never recovered. Cleveland is now 35-32 and sits in 3rdplace in the AL Cincinnati is now 35-34 and sits in 4thplace in the NL Mets Get Trio of HRs The Mets controlled this one from start to finish, shutting out the Nationals 5–0 behind a steady offensive performance and strong NYM 1B Pete Alonso started the scoring early with an RBI double in the first, and the Mets never looked back. NYM OF Juan Soto launched a two-run homer in the third, his 408-foot blast giving New York a comfortable cushion. NYM OF Brandon Nimmo provided...Morehttps://www.pcf.org/homerunchallenge/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hrc_social-share_2024sg_01.jpg1200630
