SAN JOSE–The San Jose Earthquakes scored three goals after the 68th minute to defeat Minnesota United FC 4-2 in the Round of 16 of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday evening at PayPal Park.

San Jose advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament in back-to-back seasons. Minnesota United bowed out of the tournament after defeating the Sacramento Republic in the Round of 32. San Jose went know its next opponent until Thursday when the remaining eight teams will be drawn at random.

San Jose drew first blood in the 15th minute. Midfielder Beau Leroux received the ball inside the box. Leroux made a move to go around Owen Gene before blasting a right-footed shot past United goalkeeper Drake Callender into the far upper corner of the net for his first goal of the tournament and second overall in all competitions.

Minnesota United had a golden scoring chance to even the match just before the 20th minute when Anthony Markanich was alone inside from six feet, but his point-blank attempt was stoned away by Quakes goalkeeper Daniel.

Fernando Romero thought he even the score in the 31st when he tapped home a cross into the middle of the box all alone, but he was ruled offside by the sideline official.

Quakes superstar striker Timo Werner was subbed out of the match in the 35th minute by head coach Bruce Arena after apparently suffering a lower body injury and was replaced by Jack Skahan.

Minnesota United scored the equalizer in the 59th minute. Markanich centered a ball into the ball when Quakes captain Ronaldo Vieira knocked the ball into his own bet for an own goal.

Minnesota gained its first lead in the 63rd minute thanks to a brilliant individual effort by Tomás Chancalay. The United striker danced around a Quakes defender before depositing the ball past Daniel into the upper left corner of the net.

San Jose made it a tied game three minutes later on a counterattack. Skahan recovered the ball out of the air just outside the box. Skahan’s shot deflected off the foot of Devin Padelford and into the back of the net for his first goal of the tournament in the 68th minute.

The Earthquakes regained the lead in the 73rd minute. Skahan crossed the ball into the middle of the box where Leroux buried a one-timer past Callender to record his first ever brace in U.S. Open Cup play.

Niko Tsakiris made it 4-2 when he finished a two-on-zero odd man rush with Ousseni Bouda in the 76th minute. Bouda won the ball of off a battle with a United defender and then was able to get Callender to commit up front before sliding the ball over to Tsakiris for the easy tap into the empty net.

Daniel made three saves on five shots to earn the victory. Callender made one save on five shots on target in the losing effort.

GAME NOTES: San Jose finished with nine corner kicks. Minnesota United had eight.

Leroux was named The Man of The Match.

San Francisco — The San Francisco Giants took on the Miami Marlins in Game 1 of a three-game series at Oracle Park Friday night. Coming in off a series win over the Dodgers, the Giants looked to carry their momentum from their recent series into Friday night’s game over Miami. The Giants were down 8-0 until they scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning but just couldn’t catch up winding up with the loss 9-4 at Oracle Park.

Right away, the Marlins put starting pitcher Adrian Houser and the Giants to work. Opening up the hitting was leadoff hitter Jakob Marsee, who sent a scorching double over the head of Giants right fielder Jung Hoo Lee. Later on in the inning, Xavier Edwards matched Marsee’s energy by getting an RBI double to bring Marsee home and give the Marlins an early lead. The Marlins weren’t done after the Edwards double, catcher Liam Hicks sent a 2-2 pitch over the left center wall for the home run to move the score to 3-0 in the opening inning. 

In an attempt to respond in the bottom half of the first, the Giants threatened with Luiz Arraez on third after a bloop single from Matt Chapman moved him over. With Chapman on first and Arraez on third and one out, Rafael Devers grounded into a double play to end the inning.

Houser back out for the second looked for better fortune but was met again by the hot bats of the Marlins. A leadoff double from Owen Caissie and an RBI single from Graham Pauley expanded the Marlin lead to 4-0.

The Giants offense stayed silent in the second, allowing the slugging Marlins’ bats back out onto the field. In the top of the third, Miami added another run to their early lead after Hicks brought home Kyle Stowers on a sacrifice fly, moving the score to 5-0.

Another scoreless inning from the Giants allowed the Marlins to get back out for more offense in the top of the 4th. With the score already 5-0, the Marlins weren’t done yet as a three run home run from Connor Norby put the game further out of reach. By now, boos began to rain down from the fans at Oracle park. After the Marlins half of the fourth, the score now was 8-0.

A three up, three down Giants fourth moved the game to the fifth where the Giants would call in relief pitcher JT Brubaker. For the first time all night, the Marlins’ bats were shut down as Brubaker set them down 1-2-3. 

Motivated by the 1-2-3 top half, the Giants bats woke up. It started with a Heliot Ramos double down the third base line. Bringing home Ramos was Tyler Gilbert with a single, 8-1 was the score. Following Gilbert’s single, Eric Haase drove in Gilbert with an RBI double in his Oracle Park debut. 8-2. Bringing home Haas was Arraez who sent a single to left. The score had moved to a closer 8-3 by the end of the 5th.

The Marlins responded right back in the top of the sixth after Otto Lopez drove in Stowers who had doubled prior in the inning. 9-3. For the Marlins, that would be the lone run they scored that inning, after their offense showing no sign of slowing down.

The 6th and 7th innings remained quiet for both sides. A few pitching changes, yet no runs. 

The top of the eighth went down without any offense for the Marlins, but the Giants in the bottom half added a claw-back run from Jung Hoo Lee, a no doubt solo shot to right field. The Marlin lead was now 9-4.


Lee’s home run would be the final run score in a game with a combined 27 hits in a 9-4 final. The Giants couldn’t comeback after the smoking hot start from Miami. Houser, who has struggled early this season, took the loss after allowing eight earned runs in four innings of action. His ERA now sits at 7.36 with a win-loss record of 0-3. The Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara took home the win Friday night after going six innings with three earned runs. His ERA now sits at 3.05 with a win-loss record of 3-2.

The Giants and Marlins face-off again Saturday afternoon, first pitch 1:05 PM. Starting pitchers for Miami RHP Eury Perez (2-1 ERA 4.15) for San Francisco LHP Robbie Ray (2-3 ERA 2.86)

SAN JOSE–Preston Judd recorded his second brace of the season during a five-goal second half offensive explosion by the San Jose Earthquakes in a convincing 5-1 blowout victory over Austin FC on Wednesday evening at PayPal Park.

San Jose continued its best start in franchise history with its eighth win in nine games and went atop of the Western Conference standings with 24 points. Austin has lost two out of its past three matches.

Austin (1-4-4) drew first blood in the ninth minute. A giveaway by San Jose led to Joseph Rosales firing a shot off of Quakes goalkeeper Daniel and into the upper corner of the net for his first goal of the season.

San Jose (8-1-0) responded with scoring chances led by German superstar Timo Werner. Werner had two shots from the left side of the box in the 11th and 14th minutes only to have Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver stone away both chances.

Despite being down a goal in the opening 45 minutes, San Jose dominated the first half with seven scoring chances inside the box. They outshot Austin 13-4 and had a xG of 1.28 compared to 0.45 for Austin.

The Earthquakes carried the momentum they had in the first half at the start of the second half creating quality scoring chances including a header from Jack Jasinski that hit off the right post in the 57th minute.

San Jose finally hit paydirt a minute later off of a set piece. Werner’s corner kick sailed right into the middle of the box where an unmarked Jasinski headed the ball past Stuver for his first career MLS goal in the 58th minute.

Jamar Ricketts earned a penalty kick in the 76th minute when he was tripped up inside the box by Austin so and so. Werner cashed in the penalty kick two minutes later with a rifle of a shot to the left side of the net for his second goal of the season.

The Earthquakes iced the game in the 83rd minute when Preston Judd scored his first goal of the match after finishing off a cross into the box from Paul Marie with a one-timer past Stuver for his third goal of the season.

Ousseni Bouda scored his co-team leading fifth goal of the season after getting inside position on Jonanthan Bell inside the box to chase down a long ball. Bouda beat Stuver with a left-footed shot to the far corner of the net.

Judd completed his brace and co-team leading fifth goal of the season in the 89th minute after heading the ball into the back off the net after a perfectly timed cross into the box from Marie that sent the Quakes crowd into a frenzy.

Daniel finished the match stopping one of the two shots on target to earn his eighth victory of the season. Stuver, who was left hung out to dry for the majority of the match, made 11 saves on 16 shots in the losing effort.

GAME NOTES: San Jose finished with 13 corner kicks. Austin only had one.

UP NEXT: San Jose travels to the Midwest to take on St. Louis CITY on Saturday April 28 at 5:30pm at Energizer Park.

Giants take series opener against the Dodgers 3-1

SAN FRANCISCO — The Los Angeles Dodgers–the heavy favorites to win the NL West, coming into San Francisco at 16-6–they’re going to beat the lowly 9-13 San Francisco Giants, right?

Not so fast, as the Giants surrendered just one run and had just enough offense to beat the powerful Dodgers 3-1. The Dodgers had come into the game averaging six runs per game to start the season, but starting pitcher Landon Roupp and the bullpen held the Dodgers to just three hits in the game.

The Giants’ offense started hot right from the get-go. Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto surrendered three runs to the Giants in the very first inning. After Willy Adames started the game with a ground ball to the shortstop Hyeseong Kim, Kim airmailed the ball into the dugout, putting Adames at second with nobody out. Adames was given an infield hit on the play, advancing to second on the throwing error.

After the next batter Luis Arraez singled and then Matt Chapman walked, Rafael Devers poked a single into right-center field to give the Giants a 1-0 lead. Casey Schmitt followed with a sacrifice fly to shallow left-center field, where outfielders Alex Call and Teoscar Hernandez collided, allowing Arraez to score. Jung Hoo Lee then singled home Chapman, to give the Giants a 3-0 lead, which would prove to be more than enough to give the Giants the win.

Despite walking four batters in the fourth inning, Roupp pitched out of trouble when Alex Call hit into a 5-4-3 double pay with the bases loaded and one out. The only run the Dodgers scored in the game was a walk by Kim. Roupp ended the night going five innings, giving up just one run on one hit but escaped through five walks. He struck out seven batters.

The Giants bullpen took it from there pitching four scoreless innings. Reliever Ryan Walker, who blew a save against the Washington Nationals on Saturday, shut the door with a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Walker had two strikeouts.

Shohei Ohtani, who went 1-for-4 in the game with two strikeouts, was left on deck as the potential tying run. Ohtani has now reached base 53 straight games, tying him for the longest streak in Los Angeles Dodgers history. Former Dodger Shawn Green had the previous 53-game streak.

Unfortunately for the Giants, outfielder Jung Hoo Lee got injured in the sixth inning when he tried to score from first on a base hit by Heliot Ramos. Lee appeared to try to take advantage of a slow relay from the Dodgers defense, but he was thrown out by plenty at home. Jerar Encarnacion replaced Lee in right field in the top of the eighth inning. The Giants have not yet said what his injury was.

Up next, the Giants will try to win the series against the Dodgers on Wednesday night. Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani (2-0, 0.50 ERA) will oppose Tyler Mahle (0-3, 7.23 ERA) at 6:45 p.m. at Oracle Park.

The Giants are now 10-13, and a series win against their heated rival would do wonders for their confidence as they try to climb over .500.

SAN JOSE–The San Jose Earthquakes continued their winning ways.

Despite being a man down for the majority of the match, the Quakes beat the USL’s Phoenix Rising 2-0 in the Round of 32 of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday evening at PayPal Park.

Nick Fernandez, the Man of the Match, was able to jump start San Jose by scoring his first goal of the tournament and of his career in the third minute. Timo Werner, who was back in action after missing the past two matches with an injury, found Fernandez along the left wing. Fernandez dribbled back into the middle and rifled home a right footed shot beating Rising goalkeeper Darius Johnson from 20 yards out.

“It’s a moment I’ll never forget: Getting the first start of the year and scoring is a very special moment, and celebrating with my team,” Fernandez said.

Werner nearly doubled San Jose’s lead in the 16th minute when he received the ball at midfield and raced down the field on a breakaway. Werner made one move around one Rising defender before his shot attempt was saved by Johnson.

“Well, clearly scoring a goal in the first three minutes is huge, so I certainly liked that,” said Quakes head coach Bruce Arena on the team’s fast start. “The second goal was important, and then we had a couple of chances at a third. One of the positives on the night is we got minutes for players that haven’t played in a while.”

Fernandez retuned the favor in the 23rd minute when sent a long ball from the left sideline down to the right side of the pitch where wingback Jack Jasinski chased down the ball and one-timed it past Johnson for first his goal of the tournament and his career.

San Jose went down to 10 men in the 39th minute when midfielder Johnathan Gonzales was issued his second yellow card of the match with a bad foul. Gonzales, who picked up his first yellow card in the 13th, was ejected from the match after earning a red card with the two yellow cards.

The Quakes defense held down the fort in the second half as goalkeeper Earl Edwards Jr. only needed to make a big save late in the match as he earned a clean sheet for the match. He now has six career clean sheets across all competitions.

San Jose advances to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16, where they will host Minnesota United FC at PayPal Park on either April 28 or 29. The date and time to be determined at a later date.

GAME NOTES: Noel Buck and Max Floriani made their 2026 Earthquakes debuts, with the former logging 62 minutes at left winger and initiating the second goal sequence, while the latter played all 90 minutes at center back and helped seal the clean sheet.

Nonso Adimabua made his Quakes First Team debut after a breakout 2025 with San Jose’s MLS NEXT Pro side, setting a club single-season record with 13 goals and 19 total goal contributions. Adimabua started tonight’s match at center forward and played 62 minutes.

With Fernandez and Jasinski scoring their first goals of 2026, the Earthquakes now have had nine different goal scorers across all competitions. With Fernandez’s first assist of 2026, the Quakes now have had 10 different players record an assist or more across all competitions.

UP NEXT: San Jose returns to MLS league play on Sunday April 19 against LAFC at 4:00pm on Sunday Night Soccer on Apple TV at BMO Stadium.

Giants bullpen blows another late-inning lead in 6-4 loss to the Phillies

SAN FRANCISCO–For the second day in a row, the San Francisco Giants blew a late-inning lead as the Philadelphia Phillies rally from 4-0 down to win 6-4 at Oracle Park.

After starting pitcher Adrian Houser gave up back-to-back singles to start the seventh inning, Giants manager Tony Vitello brought in lefty Ryan Borucki to try and get through Phillies sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper. That did not go well, as Schwarber walked and Harper hit the game-tying single. The next batter Alec Bohm hit a ground-ball single that gave the Phillies a 5-4 lead, one they would not give back. The Phillies tacked on another run later in the inning on a sacrifice fly by Brandon Marsh.

Some may question Vitello’s decision to bring in Borucki in a leverage spot against two of the best hitters in the game. Borucki is a journeyman pitcher who had a 4.63 ERA in 35 innings with both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays. Fellow lefty Matt Gage, who has yet to give up an earned run this season, was not used in the high leverage spot and the Giants paid for it. Gage would go on to pitch a scoreless eighth inning, with the Giants down 6-4.

This latest bullpen blow up comes after Keaton Winn and Erik Miller gave up four runs combined in the eighth inning on Sunday against the New York Mets, giving the Mets a 5-2 come-from-behind victory. The Giants were up 2-1 at the start of the eighth inning on Sunday afternoon.

On Monday night, the Giants finally showed some offense in the third inning, where they scored three runs against Phillies starter Andrew Painter. Painter came into the year 1-0, with a 1.69 ERA. After Willy Adames starting the inning with a double, Luis Arraez followed with an RBI double of his own to give the Giants an early 1-0 lead. Giants third baseman Matt Chapman then tripled in another run. Two batters later, Giants left fielder Heliot Ramos singled in Chapman to give the Giants a 3-0 lead.

The Giants tacked on another run in the fourth inning on a Luis Arraez sacrifice fly. The Giants were up 4-0 and feeling good, but the Phillies got on the board in the fifth inning with two runs of their own. Two singles from the eighth and ninth spots in the batting order ended up scoring in that inning off of Houser.

The Giants did not score another run after the fourth inning. In fact, they only had 2 hits after the fourth inning–a single by Jung Hoo Lee in the eighth and a double by Adames in the ninth.

Houser ended up pitching well, better than his line score indicated. He ended up going six innings, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks. He struck out three batters.

The Giants are now 3-8 on the year, not the start that Vitello wanted to begin his Giants career. In 2000, the Giants did start the year 3-9 and ended up winning the National League West with 97 wins, but that team had Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent in the middle of their order and Felix Rodriguez and Robb Nen on the back end of the bullpen. The Giants will hope to turn things around quickly, or they can find themselves buried quite early in the season.

Up next, the Giants will try again on Tuesday to get right as they take on the Phillies again in Game 2 of the series. Robbie Ray (1-1, 3.38 ERA) will take the mound for the Giants against lefty Cristopher Sanchez (1-0, 0.79 ERA). Game time is at 6:45 p.m.

#5 Some of the moves talked about on some of the San Francisco radio station about Tony Vitello the San Francisco Giants manager that he’s over his head jumping from college right to The Show. The Giants were clobbered twice by the New York Mets in their four game series and lost that last game three to the San Diego Padres to close their series 7-1. Is more a concern about a pitching staff than Vitello’s managing?

Tsakiris’ brace powers Earthquakes over San Diego FC 3-0

SAN JOSE — Niko Tsakiris made franchise history by joining some select company.

The San Jose Earthquakes midfielder recorded his first career brace as the Quakes dominated from start to finish in a 3-0 rout of San Diego FC on Saturday evening at PayPal Park.

San Jose has won two games in a row and five of their first six matches for its best start in franchise history. San Diego suffered its first loss of its MLS campaign after starting the season undefeated with points in its first five matches.

San Jose (5-1-0) struck first early in the first half. Preston Judd intercepted a back pass and quickly found Tsakiris along the left wing. The 20-year-old fifth year player dribbled into the box before roofing a left footed shot into the back of the net as a San Diego defender closed in on him for his first goal of the season in the 13th minute.

San Diego’s (3-1-2) high scoring attack had limited possession throughout the match as the pitch was tilted inside their defensive zone thanks to San Jose’s high press attack that kept the ball from the feet of Anders Dyers and leading goal scorer Marcus Ingvartsen.

The match quickly went south for SDFC when fullback Manu Duah pushed down Judd from behind after he made a move to get around Duah inside the box in the 28th minute. Referee Fotis Bazakos awarded a penalty kick to San Jose. After a VAR review, it was determined that Duah never made a play for the ball resulting in a red card and automatic ejection. San Diego played a man down for the final 62 minutes of the match.

Tsakiris completed his brace when slammed home the penalty kick into the upper right corner of the net beating his fellow Under-23 U.S. Men’s National Team teammate SDFC goalkeeper Duran Ferree in the 34th minute.

Tsakiris became the second youngest player in franchise history to record a brace. The youngest just happens to be the greatest American born soccer player ever in Landon Donovan.

The Earthquakes made it 3-0 just before halftime when Beau Leroux centered the ball from down the left sideline into the middle of the box where Judd one-timed it into the right corner of the net for his team leading third goal of the season in the third minute of stoppage time.

In the second half, San Jose took advantage of being up a man as they continued to create chances and kept the ball out of danger as head coach Bruce Arena subbed out five of his starters for a more defensive oriented lineup.

Quakes goalkeeper Daniel needed to make just one save to record his fifth clean sheet of the season. To date, Daniel has only conceded one goal on the season. Ferree kept the match from being a bigger blowout as he made seven saves on 10 shots on target in the losing effort.

GAME NOTES: San Jose finished with seven corner kicks. SDFC had five.

UP NEXT: San Jose travels out to the Midwest as they take on Sporting Kansas City on Saturday April 11 at 5:30pm at Sporting Park.
