The New York Yankees (7-1) will try to complete a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins (5-3) on Sunday. The Yankees won the series’ second game 9-7 on Saturday. Max Fried is scheduled to start for the Yankees while Chris Paddack pitches for the Marlins.
Any MLB hitter would be happy with a three-homer game. Jo Adell did the defensive equivalent on Saturday.
The Los Angeles Angels outfielder pulled off a hat track of home run robberies against the Seattle Mariners, in a game the Angels won 1-0. That’s what we call making a defensive impact.
The first was at the expense of star Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who remains homerless in nine games this season after hitting 60 long balls in 2025.
Facing Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz, Raleigh clubbed a ball 104.7 mph and 370 feet to right field. It was a bona fide barrel … and landed just low enough for the 6-foot-2 Adell to snag it.
And then came the wildest catch in the ninth inning. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford hit what would have been a game-tying homer off Angels closer Jordan Romano, but Adell brought it back with a leaping grab into the right-field stands.
Because Adell fell into the crowd, the Mariners challenged to see if the play could still count as a homer, but the call was confirmed because Adell made the catch before falling out of play.
Oh, and he went 1-for-3 at the plate.
“Sometimes you’ve got to help on the other side of the ball. I’m glad I did my job tonight,” Adell said on the Angels broadcast before receiving his traditional Gatorade bath.
In attendance was former Angels outfielder Torii Hunter, who had his own track record of home run robberies during his playing days. The nine-time Gold Glover was impressed.
Nine-time Gold Glover Torii Hunter on Jo Adell robbing three homers in one game. “It was the greatest defensive game I’ve ever seen, especially that last one.”
“[Hunter] stopped by my locker before the game. Maybe a little bit rubbed off,” Adell said earlier with a laugh.
Adell is a former top 100 prospect who has been an up-and-down presence for the Angels in his seven-year career. Last season was his best as a hitter, hitting a career-high 37 homers as their starting center fielder. He’s off to a slow start this season on offense, but clearly has some reason for confidence in his abilities going forward.
When will Cal Raleigh get his first HR?
It’s also been a slow start to the season for Raleigh, who is slashing .121/.216/.152 after Saturday. He has so far registered only four hits while striking out 17 times in 37 plate appearances, tied for the most punchouts in MLB.
And that’s after going 0-for-14 at the plate for Team USA at the 2026 World Baseball Classic in March.
At least on Saturday he had the excuse of Adell, and praised the outfielder accordingly with MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer:
“You just tip the cap. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy rob two homers in a game, much less three. So it’s just one of those things where baseball can amaze you night in and night and night out. You can see something you’ve never seen before.”
Is that cause for panic? Well, food for thought, this time last year Raleigh was hitting 125/.250/.250 in seven games. He did have a homer by then, but the point is that disappointing numbers in early April are very easy to erase. Raleigh went on to finish second in AL MVP voting and become only the seventh player (or fourth, if you remove players with steroid allegations) in MLB history to reach 60 homers.
With the win, the Pistons clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They leave Saturday with a 57-21 record and four games remaining in the regular season. They’re 4.5 games ahead of the second-place Boston Celtics, who cannot catch them in the standings.
Saturday’s win was secured via a balanced offensive effort as seven different Pistons scored in double figures. Tobias Harris led the way with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals.
The Pistons limited a 76ers team playing without Joel Embiid to 44% shooting from the floor and 28% shooting from 3 while forcing 15 turnovers. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 23 points.
The No. 1 seed is the first for the Pistons since the 2006-07 season. They lost in the Eastern Conference finals that season to LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers.
Will Cade Cunningham be back for playoffs?
Detroit will be guaranteed home-court advantage as along as it advances through the Eastern Conference playoffs. Doing so won’t come easy as the status of All-Star and team leader Cade Cunningham remains unclear.
Cunningham has missed 10 straight games since being diagnosed with a collapsed lung in mid-March. The Pistons announced on Thursday that he’s making progress in his recovery, but a precise return timeline remains unclear.
Cunningham is scheduled to be re-evaluated next week. The playoffs are scheduled to start on April 18.
The Pistons have gone 8-2 in Cunningham’s absence and no longer have much to play for in the regular season. Surpassing the 61-16 Oklahoma City Thunder and the 59-19 San Antonio Spurs for guaranteed home-court advantage throughout the playoffs would be a long shot even with Cunningham in the lineup.
The Pistons can now shift their focus to the postseason and hope that Cunningham will be available for a first-round matchup.
New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is day-to-day with a strained right calf and the team will wait 48 to 72 hours before deciding whether or not he needs to go on the injured list.
Manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that the team will wait on Soto’s status until returning to Citi Field after Sunday’s game versus the San Francisco Giants. The Mets are off on Monday, then begin a six-game homestand on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Soto underwent an MRI exam on Saturday, which revealed a mild calf strain. That result was a surprise to Soto because he said he felt much better in the morning. Mendoza added that he didn’t expect Soto to be walking as well as he did when seeing him in the clubhouse.
Carlos Mendoza elaborates on Juan Soto’s recovery plan:
“Give it 48, 72 hours, see how he continues to progress. Again, I was surprised when I saw him today the way he was moving around, but they’re tricky. We’ll wait, we’ll continue to call it day-by-day until we have to make a… pic.twitter.com/dxGDFJz6qd
“Give it 48, 72 hours, see how he continues to progress,” Mendoza said, via SNY. “I was surprised when I saw him today the way he was moving around, but [calf injuries] are tricky. We’ll wait, we’ll continue to call it day-by-day until we have to make a decision.”
Soto sustained the injury while running the bases in the first inning Friday’s 10-3 win over the Giants.
On a single by Bo Bichette, Soto appeared to slow up as he rounded second base, though he got the stop sign from third base coach Tim Leiper. Soto left the game after the inning ended, replaced in left field by Tyrone Taylor.
“I’ve experienced calf tightness before,” Soto said, via MLB.com. “This is definitely not the worst I’ve felt. So I feel positive with that.”
Soto elaborated, explaining that the calf strain felt similar to an injury he suffered in 2022 with the Washington Nationals. He also left that game, but started the next day. He told reporters that playing on Sunday was a possibility, but Mendoza nixed that idea.
“We’re going to test it, definitely, with the trainers in the training room,” Soto said, via SNY. “I don’t think we’re going to run or anything like that, but we’re going to see how much strength I have and how much I can push off it.”
Soto has gotten off to a hot start, getting at least one hit in each of the Mets’ first eight games. He’s hitting .355/.412/.516 with two doubles, one home run and five RBI in 34 plate appearances.

The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA – a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the first of one players who wore the No. 99 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State point guard alum Yuri Collins. After ending his college career at St. Louis, Collins went unselected in the 2023 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2025.
The St. Louis, Missouri native played the only 2 games of his NBA career with the Dubs, leaving the league as a player afterward.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Collins wore only jersey No. 99 and put up 1.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – MARCH 29: Emerson Hancock #26 of the Seattle Mariners delivers a pitch during the second inning against the Cleveland Guardians at T-Mobile Park on March 29, 2026 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Jack Compton/Getty Images) | Getty Images
Here’s something I never thought I’d say: I am excited to watch Emerson Hancock pitch tonight.
The Mariners look to win their first series of the season Saturday against the Angels. They won Friday’s opener 4-0 in a long, frustrating, 10-inning game that didn’t really get going until the end. The bats did eventually come alive, just in time to ruin the Angels’ home opener.
Hancock will take the mound looking to make it two in a row for the Mariners and for himself. Hancock threw six no-hit innings last week against the Guardians, striking out nine in the process. He seemed to pick right up where he left off after switching to the bullpen at the end of last year, with improved velocity capable of generating a competitive number of whiffs.
One change he made in that first start was lowering his arm slot even further, continuing his trend from his brief days as a reliever. The improved Stuff+ numbers held in his first start of 2026. With three kinds of fastballs, a changeup, and a sweeper — all thrown from a low arm slot — Hancock now has all the makingss of a contemporary starter, even if “just OK” velocity limits him to a mid-rotation arm. There’s still a lot more to prove, of course, but the lack of depth in the Mariners’ rotation last year is what kept them from a more impressive win total. Hancock pitching anywhere above replacement level would be a crucial development early in 2026.
The Mariners will face Angels’ righty Jack Kochanowicz, who Jake Mailhot covered in our series preview. Brendan Donovan is out of the lineup after exiting Friday’s game with a leg injury after stepping awkwardly on first base while trying to leg out a grounder. Leo Rivas takes his place at third, and Luke Raley moves up to the leadoff spot.

It was only fitting that No. 12 Maryland men’s lacrosse’s game-winning goal against No. 9 Ohio State came from defender Riley Reese on Senior Day.
After three seasons on the bench — appearing in 10 games during that stretch — Reese was cast into the starting role following a gruesome injury to Will Schaller. All hope seemed lost for the Terps with their top defender likely out for the rest of the season.
But the senior has quickly settled into Maryland’s defensive trio, finding an instant connection with Eric Spanos. Reese’s first career point came during the Terps’ rout of Michigan, setting up Spanos for one of his career-high eight goals.
That duo linked up once more in Saturday’s first overtime period, but the roles were reversed. Spanos whipped a pass in transition to Reese standing unmarked just outside the crease. The senior defender buried it into the top corner and was instantly swarmed with hugs.
Reese’s first career goal — and shot on goal — propelled Maryland to an 8-7 victory over Ohio State for its first ranked win of the season.
Against the nation’s top defense, goals were always going to be hard to come by for the Terps’ attack. Maryland has scored single-digit goals three times this season and shown vulnerability to poor offensive showings.
However, the Terps could not have imagined a better start to Saturday’s game. After a 14-goal showing last week, Maryland strung together a strong opening six minutes. It was the best the offense has looked all season.
Quick ball movement allowed the Terps to find open attackers around the crease. They capitalized. Maryland scored on four of its first five shots on cage, each from a different goalscorer.
That balanced offense was fueled by Leo Johnson. The senior attacker has been at his best this season creating the Terps’ offense. His incredible vision and passing have opened up quality looks for teammates, making opposing defenses look silly at times.
In the first quarter, Johnson wreaked havoc. He contributed to three of Maryland’s first four goals, including a nifty one-on-one move on his defender.
After receiving a feed from Spanos at the top of the attacking zone, Johnson cut inside before spinning back to his strong hand. That space was all he needed. The Yale transfer roofed it into the top corner past Ohio State goalie Caleb Fyock.
With the Terps’ offense humming early on, last season’s All-American first-teamer could do nothing about it. Fyock managed just one stop early on, fueling Maryland’s second five-goal first quarter of the season.
But Maryland scored just two goals in the final 45 minutes of regulation — one of which came on a ridiculous pass from Johnson to Aiden Aitken for his career-high second goal of the game.
Fyock quickly settled in after his slow start, stopping 13 of the Terps’ final 17 shots on goal. He finished with an impressive 14 saves and 63.6% save percentage to fuel Ohio State’s comeback.
After trailing 4-0 six minutes into the game, the Buckeyes slowly chipped away at Maryland’s strong lead. A 14-minute scoring drought from the Terps late in the first and into the second quarter didn’t help either.
Ohio State scored twice in the final two minutes before halftime, adding to Brian Ruppel’s shaky outing. The senior netminder managed just four first-half stops and conceded a goal he’d like to have back, allowing a harmless shot to roll into the far post.
But with Maryland’s offense continuously stalling out — it had four turnovers in the third quarter — Ruppel made some critical stops in the second half. He ended with 10 saves for his seventh double-digit performance.
None were bigger than his last save of the night. With the game tied at seven and two seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Ruppel denied Garrett Haas at the near post on his close-range effort.
That stop pushed the game into overtime, setting up Reese’s heroics.
Three things to know
1. Maryland controls the X. In a matchup that featured two of the nation’s top-10 faceoff units, extra possessions were going to be pivotal in Saturday’s game. That rang true. Maryland corralled eight of the first 10 faceoffs to fuel its early start. But Ohio State’s rejuvenation at the X allowed it to climb back. Still, the Terps won 12 of the 18 faceoffs.
2. Eric Spanos held silent. After a career day in Maryland’s rout of Michigan, Spanos was a nonfactor in Saturday’s game. The senior attacker was held off the scoresheet in the first half and took a backseat approach as Johnson created the Terps’ offense. But his lone contribution came in the biggest moment of the game.
3. Offense sputters late. With its top scorers held in check during the second half, Maryland’s attack failed to generate many quality looks. The Terps often waited until late in the shot clock to get downhill, forcing them into some errant long-range efforts.
