San Francisco’s Wilmer Flores continues to hit those deep balls with teammates Luis Matos and LaMonte Wade Jr. chiming in Wednesday hitting a couple of their own as they beat the Houston Astros in a sweep, 6-3 in the finale at Daikin Park in Houston.

The Giants finished the game with six hits and six runs and it doesn’t get any better than that. It has been a great start for San Francisco who now will head home to Oracle with a 5-1 record.

Game recap: San Francisco could not have asked for a better start in this game. They got started early and kept the pressure on the Astros from the get go. Wilmer Flores continued the great series he has been having hitting a home run in the first inning with Willy Adames on base taking a 2-0 lead.

There was no letdown for the Giants hitting their second home run of the game in the second inning off the bat of Luis Matos, a solo shot giving San Francisco a 3-0 lead. There was more from San Francisco in the same inning when Heliot Ramos doubled base runners Tyler Fitzgerald and Mike Yastrzemski home and the Giants had struck again taking a 5-0 lead.

The Astros got on the board in bottom of the second inning scoring one run. Zach Dezenzo singled Jeremy Pena home for their only run of the game so far still trailing significantly 5-1. Although early in the game the Giants were putting up a great offensive effort against Astro pitcher Framber Valdez which is not an easy task. Valdez did have five strikeouts but he did allow four hits and five earned going five innings.

Houston scored two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning cutting the Giants lead more than in half 5-3 giving the Astros new life. Yordan Alvarez singled base runners Jose Altuve and Chas McCormick home. Houston still had four innings left to do some more damage but needed their defense to keep the Giants off the board in the later innings.

The Giants had five scoreless innings but struck again in the eighth inning with a LaMonte Wade Jr. home run, San Francisco’s third deep ball of the game. Relief pitching kept the Astros off the board for the final four innings and the Giants had their first sweep of the season 6-3.

Even though the Astros had more hits in the game than San Francisco they did not capitalize on those hits and their season record fell to 2-4. San Francisco now has a 5-1 season record as they now head home for their home opener on Friday night. This will be an especially special game for fans as they not only celebrate their first home game of the season but also 25 years at Oracle Park.

San Francisco starting pitcher Landen Roupp had a good game with a lot confidence. He has a great curve ball although as the innings wore on that pitch at times became predictable thus allowing those runs from the Astros. He allowed four hits and three earned runs with eight strikeouts.

Game notes: Wednesday the Giants took on the Astros in game three of their series getting the sweep after winning games one and two. On the mound for the Giants was Landen Roupp who pitched effective baseball against the Astros. The Astros starter Framber Valdez pitched five innings giving up four hits and five runs. The Giants have had a great start on this young season and kept it going in this series.

Going home to Oracle for the home opener on Friday, the Giants will welcome the Seattle Mariners to San Francisco for a three game series. The festivities are slated to start at 1:35 PM in a day-game matchup with 40,000 plus fans on hand.

Seattle will start Bryce Miller 0-1 ERA 4.76. For San Francisco Justin Verlander 0-0 ERA 3.60 looking for a better start than he had against the Reds in the 3-2 loss last Saturday, not the debut he wanted.

SALT LAKE CITY–Goaltender Karel Vejmelka limited Calgary to one goal in his 18th consecutive start as Utah Hockey Club begins final regular season homestand with a win.

Nearly six months after kicking off their first season in Salt Lake City, the Utah Hockey Club hosted the Calgary Flames on Tuesday for the first of five games in the final regular season homestand of the year. Fans arrived to a Delta Center surrounded by trees popping with white blossoms heralding the arrival of Spring, even as the local mountains received a fresh blanket of April snow earlier in the day. Mathematically still engaged in the Wild Card hunt, Utah continues to treat every game as a playoff game. Tuesday night was no different as the Utah battled and defeated the visiting Flames 3-1.

Late in the first period, Utah forward Kevin Stenlund broke the scoreless tie with a snap shot past Calgary netminder Dustin Wolf, his 12th goal of the season, assisted by Alexander Kerfoot and Ian Cole. Karel Vejmelka, starting his 18th consecutive game in goal, turned away all 12 Flames shots in the frame.

At 2:25 of the second period, Barrett Hayton put Utah up 2-0 with a backhand shot, his 18th of the season, assisted by Sean Durzi and Nick Schmaltz. Later in the period, Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson cut the lead in half with an unassisted goal, his 11th of the season.

Karel Vejmelka stood tall in net, stopping 32 of 33 shots, and his teammates sacrificed their bodies to hold off Calgary’s attempt to send the game into overtime late in the third. With 18 seconds remaining, Utah captain Clayton Keller sealed the victory scoring into an empty net for his 25th of the season, assisted by Logal Cooley and Dylan Guenther who returned to the ice after receiving stitches for a puck to the face.

In the locker room, Forward Barrett Hayton was asked about the most important component of tonight’s game. “I think sticking with it. Obviously this is a playoff game for both teams.. you knew it was gonna be a war till the end. Their last seven games have been unreal… a lot of comeback wins in that so we knew we had to have that urgency the whole time and stick with it.” Talking about Vejmelka, Hayton remarked, “It’s just a lot of fun to play in front of him. He’s a competitor, he loves doing it. It’s a lot of confidence in a guy like that, and you see it every day. We know he kicks, but still, he makes some saves out there that are just crazy.”

Vejmelka also addressed the media. “It’s fun to play every night in front of our home crowd. They give us some special energy and it’s kind of cool to play, especially in those kinds of games where we are still in the hunt, so we need every point. It was fun.” How does he feel physically after starting 18 consecutive games? “Actually, pretty normal. I don’t really feel like I played that long. It’s fun to play and I’m playing better and better, which is great. It’s fun to play those kinds of games. I like to play under pressure, so it’s part of it, and I really enjoyed it.” When asked what he has learned about himself during that stretch, Veggie responded, “I don’t really think about it. I don’t really overthink because it doesn’t help you. I just try to focus on another game, another shift, and another shot. That’s kind of the mindset that I’ve had and we just need to keep going and keep rolling and play a style of hockey where we block shots. Being resilient is huge for us.”

Head coach André Tourigny began his post-game briefing by saying, “First, great game by Vej. I think he was elite with that key moment. I think the first two periods we were really stingy defensively, we had a lot of chances as well offensively. We could have closed the game, separated ourselves. We didn’t, but we stayed with it. In the third, I liked our mindset in terms of urgency defensively… I think we backed up a little bit too much, but other than that, I think we found a way, we had big kills as well, so that’s what I think.” Tourigny elaborated on the play of Vejmelka. “Vej in the past has been known for.. when he gets tired… he had kind of a difficult time, and that was important for us to go through them and learn to battle through. Like I said this morning, at some point, if we’re in a 15, 16, 20, 24 game run in the playoffs, he needs to be able to sustain, and it’s not easy, it’s tough. It’s tough mentally and physically, and what he’s going through now will help when that will happen because he will have been through it. He will have a situation and will say, okay, I’ve been through that and I learned from it, so I think it’s good for him to go through that. As a goalie, there’s a different vibe when, okay, I had a bad game, that’s over, now I need to be good tonight. And that’s exactly what happens when you’re in the playoffs.. you can lose eight nothing yesterday.. doesn’t matter next game. You need to be ready and move on, and so I think that stretch will make him go through it and learn from it, so I think it’s good for him.

With regard to the Wild Card race, Tourigny continued, “The point is, we’ll never quit. That’s what you want to raise, that’s what you want to be as a team… a team who will never quit. There’s no quitting in that room. There’s no quitting in those players. There’s only one thing we want to do, and we want to pursue our objective. We won’t quit until they pull the plug, and if they do, it is what it is… but we won’t give them any reason to do it. We have a bunch of players who are so competitive and they’re so proud to play in that season, the way we’ve been supported by the fans and we’re so fortunate, so I think we want to give it back.”

Utah remains 8 points back of the final Wild Card slot with 7 games to go. The Los Angeles Kings arrive on Thursday night for the second game of the homestand.

The Sacramento A’s returned to action for game two at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento on Tuesday night. After suffering an 18-3 blowout loss to the Chicago Cubs on Monday, the Athletics aimed for redemption in their new home ballpark. Luis Severino took the mound for the A’s, hoping to deliver the club’s first victory at Sutter Health Park. However, the offense couldn’t rally late, and the A’s ultimately fell 7-4 to the Cubs.

As they did on Monday, the Cubs quickly jumped ahead with three runs in the first inning courtesy of a Seiya Suzuki homer on a 94 MPH sinker down the middle from Severino. From that point on, the Cubs maintained the lead.

The A’s responded in the bottom of the second inning, as Brent Rooker blasted a two-run homer to left field, scoring Lawrence Butler. This narrowed the gap to 3-2, giving Sacramento momentum heading into the third inning.

After a scoreless second inning, Severino surrendered two more runs in the third on a Kyle Tucker home run and a Dansby Swanson RBI double. The A’s again battled back, with Shea Langeliers hitting a two-run shot in the bottom half of the inning, scoring Rooker, trimming the deficit to 5-4.

Despite the A’s resilience, their offense stalled from there. The Cubs added another run in the fourth when Ian Happ drove in Pete Crow-Armstrong with a sacrifice fly to center field, extending the lead to 6-4.

Severino concluded his night with scoreless fifth and sixth innings, ending with six innings pitched, allowing six hits, six runs (five earned), three walks, and six strikeouts. Although the final stat line may not reflect it, Severino delivered a solid outing overall.

Reliever T.J. McFarland allowed another run in the seventh inning on a Justin Turner RBI single, pushing the score to 7-4 Cubs. McFarland recorded just one out in his brief appearance. A’s relievers Ferguson and Sterner combined to pitch the final two and two-thirds innings without allowing any further runs.

The Athletics went quietly in the ninth, dropping the second game of the series 7-4. Cubs starter Justin Steele earned the win, pitching six and two-thirds innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out six. Severino was credited with the loss, and Ryan Pressly secured his second save of the year for Chicago.

The A’s will aim to avoid the sweep on Wednesday, facing the Cubs again at 12:35 PM at Sutter Health Park.

Giants Take Series Lead Beating Astros 3-1

San Francisco Giants starter Logan Webb delivers against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park in Houston on Tue Apr 1, 2025 (AP News photo)

The San Francisco Giants (4-1) won their third straight game in a row beating the Houston Astros (2-3) 3-1. The Giants only had four hits cashing in for three runs and Houston had seven hits in the game but only the one run. Heliot Ramos had the only home run of the game as San Francisco now has a 4-1 season record.

Game recap: Both pitchers breezed through the first and second innings. Logan Webb allowed one hit in the two innings and Hayden Wesneski had not allowed a single hit.

The Giants got something going in the third inning when Astro pitcher Wesneski walked two runners, Patrick Bailey and Christian Koss, in a row with no outs and the top of the lineup coming to bat. San Francisco was looking at a golden opportunity.

The top of the batting order LaMonte Wade Jr. struck out for the first out in the inning but Willy Adames hit a line drive to left field driving Bailey and Koss home and the Giants had a 2-0 lead. Jung Hoo Lee lined out and Matt Chapman struck out for the third out. The Astros had one hit in the third inning but a strikeout and a double play sent the game into the fourth inning.

The Giants extended their lead in the fourth inning when Heliot Ramos homered to left and San Francisco had a 3-0 advantage. The Astros got out of the inning but there was some action in the Houston bullpen as Taylor Scott warmed up indicating possible changes in the fifth inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning the Astros got on the board off the bat of the veteran Jose Altuve who homered to left and it was a 3-1 ball game.

The game headed into the fifth inning and Wesneski remained on the mound for Houston. Neither team scored and it was on to the sixth inning, in fact the fifth, sixth and seventh innings were quiet for both teams. Through seven innings the Giants had three hits cashing in on all of them and Houston had seven.

The Giants pitcher Tyler Rogers took over on the mound in the eighth inning giving up two hits but got out of the inning. The Giants continued to lead 3-1 going into the ninth inning. Other than a Houston pitcher error, Astro pitcher Bryan King struck out Wilmer Flores, Patrick Bailey and Casey Schmitt and Houston had one last chance in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was a three and out for Houston and that was the ball game with San Francisco winning their third game in a row 3-1.

Game notes: Tuesday evening the Giants faced the Astros in game two of their series. While it is early in the season, the Giants have already shown some encouraging improvement over last season. Since their season opener they have scored 21 runs some of which came on a two out count. They have been bringing base runners home and not leaving them stranded.

Saturday the Giants starter Logan Webb went to the mound and pitched five innings giving up seven hits and a run. The Astros righty Hayden Wesneski pitched five innings, giving up two hits and three runs.

Game three of this series is slated for a 1:10 PM PDT first pitch. Landen Roupp will take the mound for the Giants with a 3.58 ERA. The Astros will be looking to pitcher Framber Valdez to salvage at least one game in this series.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Reporters on Monday night covering the Sacramento A’s first home game at Sutter Health Field the minor league park for the triple A team Sacramento River Cats got the full treatment of what going back to covering minor league baseball is like. The park was cramped it was sold out, the reporters said their work space was reduced to a makeshift shed for a media room and it was cramped. This is going to be a complicated working environment for those covering A’s home games.

#2 St Louis Cardinal veteran right hand pitcher Lance Lynn 37 is hanging up the cleats for the last time. He has announced his retirement from baseball after 13 big league seasons. Upon retiring Lynn said, “Baseball season is upon us and I’m right here on the couch and that is where I’m gonna stay,” Lynn also said “Dymin in the Rough.” and “I am officially retiring from baseball right here, right now.”

#3 Right hand pitcher for the New York Yankees Adam Ottavino will be returning to the mound as he agreed to a one year contract. Ottavino 39 signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox on Feb 18 but wound up exercising his right to be released on March 23. Ottavina had a 10.80 ERA during spring training. Ottavino pitched for the New York Mets last season.

#3 Who needs steroids when you have the torpedo bat say some who observed the astronomical rise in hitting stats for players who use the hitting weapon. The Yankees the other day hit four home runs in the first inning and for the game nine home runs. Now Cincinnati Reds slugger Elly De La Cruz has got into the act hitting a single, double and two home runs on Monday night and has accumulated seven RBIs so far.

#4 A’s owner John Fisher was at Sutter Health ball park in Sacramento on Monday night and heard a smattering of “Let’s go Oakland”, “Sell the Team.” Some fans wore t shirts saying “I’d rather be at the Oakland Coliseum.” Despite the protests that was blended over with fans who were excited to see big league baseball being played in Sacramento.

#5 Carson Kelly became the first Chicago Cub in 32 years to hit for the cycle which he achieved on Monday night against the A’s in Sacramento. Kelly needed a triple to complete the cycle in his last at bat in the eighth inning as the Cubs stormed the A’s 18-3 in the Cubs first road game stateside of the season.

Cubs Spoil Sacramento Debut with 18-3 Blowout of Athletics

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

A Rickey Henderson tribute is played on the screen after the Athletics are introduced at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.

By Jeremiah Salmonson

WEST SACRAMENTO — Major League Baseball made its debut in the Sacramento region Monday night under chilly conditions that resembled a Bay Area evening, as the cool Delta breeze swept through Sutter Health Park. The stage was set for the Athletics, now calling Sacramento’s newly renovated ballpark home, to host the Chicago Cubs in the first of their 81 home games this season. An enthusiastic, sellout crowd of 12,192 fans packed the stands to witness history.

Unfortunately for the home crowd, the Cubs dominated, handing the Athletics an 18-3 blowout loss.

Coming off a promising start to their season in Seattle, where the A’s split a four-game series thanks to strong pitching performances, Oakland’s pitching staff collapsed entirely on Monday night. 

The Cubs quickly established momentum, jumping out to a four-run lead in the first inning against A’s starter Joey Estes. Estes struggled with command throughout his brief outing, lasting only four innings while surrendering nine hits, six earned runs, four walks, and three home runs.

The Athletics briefly showed signs of life in the third inning when Jacob Wilson hit a solo home run to cut the deficit to 4-1. However, the Cubs responded immediately in the top of the fourth with a solo homer by Carson Kelly, restoring their four-run advantage.

In the bottom of the fourth, the A’s offense showed resilience again. Max Muncy drove in a run with an RBI double, followed by an RBI groundout from Jacob Wilson, bringing the Athletics closer at 5-3. Unfortunately, this would mark the end of the scoring for the home team.

The Cubs’ offense relentlessly attacked the A’s bullpen, piling on five runs in the fifth inning, six more in the sixth, and adding runs in both the eighth and ninth innings. Oakland’s bullpen struggled significantly: Mitch Spence allowed four runs (two earned) in just two-thirds of an inning, Noah Murdock surrendered six earned runs, and TJ McFarland and Jhonny Pereda each contributed an earned run. Ultimately, no A’s pitcher had an answer for the relentless Cubs lineup.

The Cubs defeated the Athletics 18-3 as they spoiled the A’s home debut in their new home. 

The A’s will seek to bounce back in game two of the series on Tuesday, with Luis Severino scheduled to take the mound following a solid outing in Seattle last week. First pitch is set for 7:07 p.m.
