Astros Rout Athletics 11-0 as Morales, Bullpen Falter

WEST SACRAMENTO — The Athletics were back in action on Saturday afternoon for game two of a three-game series against the Houston Astros. The Athletics, who famously snubbed the city of Sacramento last season by not wearing the name on their uniforms, debuted a new “Sacramento” gold jersey on Saturday for their matinee affair with the Astros.

Poor pitching, poor defense and a lackluster offensive performance doomed the A’s as they fell to the Astros 11-0.

Luis Morales took the hill for the A’s in his second start of the 2026 campaign after a rough outing in Atlanta to open his season, where he gave up five runs and three home runs in four and a third innings of work.

On Saturday, Morales didn’t fare much better, going only 3+ innings while giving up five runs on eight hits and striking out none. However, it wasn’t just the Astros hitting Morales around. Luis did himself no favors, giving up six walks during his outing, where command was clearly an issue.

The rest of the A’s staff didn’t perform much better.

Elvis Alvarado came on to relieve Morales and struggled. Elvis gave up two runs on three hits while walking two and striking out none.

Hogan Harris was next out of the pen for the A’s as he pitched the sixth inning. Harris gave up three runs while allowing four hits and two walks in his one inning of work.

Luis Medina came on to pitch the seventh and eighth innings, in which he allowed one run on two hits while walking two and striking out four in his two innings of work.

Michael Kelly was last out of the bullpen for the A’s as he worked the ninth inning and surrendered no runs while giving up a walk and a hit.

The A’s committed some costly defensive miscues in the game, but none counted as errors. Max Muncy missed two ground balls at third base that Mark Kotsay described after the game as, “I thought there were plays at third base we could have made today.”

Tyler Soderstrom also lost a ball in the high sky and sun that ended up costing the A’s a run. “Obviously he did everything you could right up until the last second,” Kotsay said after the game. “Obviously day games, sun, tough situation, ended up costing us a run. Not lack of effort.”

On the offensive side of the ball, the A’s struggled all game as they managed only eight baserunners. The A’s tallied five hits and walked three times while failing to score any runs against the Astros staff.

Max Muncy managed two more hits to follow up his three-hit performance on Friday night.

The A’s will stay home to take on the Astros in the rubber game of the three-game series on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. PST. Jacob Lopez (0-1, 6.75 ERA) will go for the A’s, while the Astros will send Lance McCullers Jr. (1-0, 1.29 ERA) to the mound looking for the series win.

San Jose Sharks podcast Mary Lisa:

#1 Can the Sharks extend their momentum in the playoff race? San Jose enters this matchup on a winning streak and currently holds a wild-card position, making this a crucial game for maintaining momentum.

#2 Will Nashville’s recent surge continue on the road? The Predators are coming off a big shootout win and are tied in points with San Jose, highlighting how critical this head-to-head matchup is in the standings.

#3 Which team’s offense will break through defensively vulnerable opponents? Both teams allow over three goals per game on average, raising the question of whether this turns into a high-scoring contest.

#4 Can Nashville maintain its dominance in the head-to-head series? The Predators have already beaten the Sharks this season and have historically performed very well in recent matchups.

#5 How will goaltending impact a tightly matched game? With similar records and point totals, performances from key goalies like Juuse Saros could be the deciding factor.

March Western Conference Rookie of the Month Raynaud leads Kings to thrilling 117-113 comeback win with 28 points over Pelicans

Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California

New Orleans Pelicans 113 (25-53)

Sacramento Kings 117 (21-57)

By Stephen Ruderman

SACRAMENTO–In a season that has lacked thrilling moments, the Kings created some Friday night, as they came all the way back from a 17-point deficit in the second quarter, led by March Western Conference Rookie of the Month Maxime Raynaud, to a late 117-113 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Following a 123-115 win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, the Kings had a chance to do something they have only done four times all season, and that was win back-to-back games. The Kings would be up against another team that will be going home for the summer in less than 10 days, the New Orleans Pelicans.

Contrary to reporting by The Onion, the Kings won the opening tip, and we had a game here at Golden 1 Center Friday night. The Pelicans opened up an early 7-2 lead, as Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey led the early charge. Maxime Raynaud scored all of the Kings’ first eight points of the night, and helped close the deficit to 9-8.

DeMar DeRozan hit a jumper to give the Kings their first lead of the night, 10-9 with 7:31 left in the first quarter. However, after Trey Murphy the III slammed one down just 35 seconds later, New Orleans took control of the game.

The Pelicans led 30-21 at the end of the first quarter, and then had opened their lead to 55-38 with 4:25 left in the second quarter. This was looking to be an uneventful laugher. However, the Kings closed out the quarter with a 17-11 run to close the deficit to 66-55 at the half.

By the half, Jeremiah Fears, who had not started the game for the Pelicans, led both teams with 18 points. Raynaud led the Kings with 17 points in the first half, and it wasn’t even close. Daeqwon Plowden was second with nine points.

The Kings carried their momentum into the third quarter, as they went on a 9-3 run in just the first minute and 43 seconds. The Pelicans just as quickly regained the momentum, and opened their lead back to 81-71 with 6:54 to go. The Kings were able to tread along for the rest of the quarter, and trailed 92-85 at the end.

Nique Clifford and Precious Achiuwa came alive in the third quarter, scoring nine and eight points respectively in the quarter. Bey scored eight in the third quarter, doubling his overall point total for the night to 16.

DeRozan scored six points in the third quarter to get his total for the night to ten, and he opened the fourth quarter with a pair of jumpers to close it to just a three-point game at 92-89. Devon Carter, who had only scored three points on the night, then hit a three to tie the game at 92-92, and the 15,422 here at Golden 1 Center went berzerk.

The Pelicans immediately retook the lead on a dunk by Murphy. Fears then hit a layup after being fouled, and hit his shot from the line to open New Orelans’ lead back to seven at 105-98 with 6:10 to go.

Plowden hit a three to send a message that the Kings were still coming. Bey was fouled, and hit both from the line. Raynaud then hit a jumper and a layup, and it was back to a two-point game at 107-105 with 4:25 to go.

In what had seemed to be a lopsided affair between two teams completely out of contention, a real thriller was arising, as this one was going to go all the way down to the bitter end. Raynaud re-tied it with a jumper, and after Fears put the Pelicans back ahead with a jumper, Clifford hit one of his own.

It was now 109-109 with 3:23 left. Plowden took a flagrant foul from Derik Queen, and hit all three from the line. The Kings were now ahead for just the second time Friday night, and were two minutes and 37 seconds away from an improbable win.

The game stayed tight, but the Kings held their lead for the remainder of the game, and won it 117-113.

Maxime Raynaud has had an incredible couple of days. Thursday, he was named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for March. Friday night, he scored 28 points in an incredible come-from-behind win for the Kings. He also had nine rebounds, and four assists.

Raynaud was on hand courtside to light the beam, and most of the 15,422 here at Golden 1 Center Friday night went home happy.

Four games left for the Kings now, and they will welcome the Los Angeles Clippers to Sacramento for an evening game on Sunday. The Clippers are currently the ninth seed in the Western Conference, and are right now playing to determine which games they will play in in the play-in tournament.

Tipoff will be at 6 p.m.

A’s Power Past Astros 11-4 in Home Opener Behind Springs’ Strong Start

WEST SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Athletics played their home opener on Friday night at Sutter Health Park. The A’s came home to the friendly confines after a brutal 1-5 road trip to start the season that saw them make stops in Toronto and Atlanta. The A’s were swept in Toronto to open the year before losing 3-2 to the Braves in their second series of the season. The A’s bullpen and a myriad of other shortcomings were to blame for their slow start on the road, where the A’s would play three of their first four series of the year. However, the A’s traveled to Sacramento on Thursday in hopes of turning the tide of the early season at home.

On Friday, behind a terrific outing from Jeffrey Springs, an offensive outburst, and the energy of a sold-out crowd, the A’s defeated the Houston Astros 11-4 on a crisp 73-degree night.

Jeffrey Springs led the way and set the tempo for the A’s as he tossed six innings of two-hit, one-run baseball en route to the victory, his first win of the young season.

“I think working between outings, fastball, command at the top, moving it around. I felt like I did well in Toronto by getting to two strikes but not being able to put guys away. And today I feel like I did a better job of it,” Jeffrey Springs said after the game. “Obviously another really good lineup over there, but just game planning with Shay, I felt like we were on the same page. Just being able to make some moves, trying to keep ’em off balance as much as possible.”

It was an impressive outing from Springs, who lowered his season ERA to 2.38 with the win.

The rest of the A’s pitching staff struggled, but it proved to be a moot point as the A’s lead was large enough to withstand those struggles.

Michael Kelly came in following Springs to pitch the seventh inning for the A’s. Kelly wasn’t his sharpest self, as the right-hander gave up three walks, a hit, and one run while throwing 32 pitches in the inning.

In the eighth and ninth innings, Mark Kotsay gave the ball to J.T. Ginn to finish out the A’s win over the Astros. Ginn was not sharp as he surrendered a walk and three hits while giving up two runs in his two innings of work. Ginn was obviously laboring, but he managed to limit the damage and allowed Mark Kotsay to keep the rest of the bullpen rested.

The Athletics offense did the heavy lifting on Friday as they broke out for 11 runs on 13 hits while walking seven times.

The A’s production at the plate was highlighted by Lawrence Butler, who had three hits and four RBIs. Butler had two singles and a three-run homer on the day.

Max Muncy was close on Butler’s heels as he recorded a home run of his own while tallying three hits and three RBIs.

Tyler Soderstrom and Jacob Wilson also each recorded two hits, and Soderstrom drove in a pair of runs in the game.

Jacob Wilson was also responsible for an outstanding Jeter-esque jump throw from the hole to retire Jake Meyers in the top of the fifth inning. The play showed signs of Wilson’s improved speed and defense this season, which is a welcome sight for the A’s.

The A’s stay home to take on the Astros in game two of their three-game series in a matinee affair at 1:05 p.m. PST. Luis Morales (0-1, 10.38 ERA) is slated to go for the A’s, while the Astros will counter with Tatsuya Imai (0-0, 13.50 ERA).

Mets get Revenge on Giants, Tying the Series, Final Score: 10-3

By Michael Villanueva

SAN FRANCISCO – Following San Francisco’s first home win Friday, the team hoped to extend its winning streak to two on Good Friday and San Jose State Night. However, the New York Mets had other plans as it was their turn to make it a big hitting night here in Oracle Park. The Mets would bring in 15 hits Friday night and get the win. The final score would be 10-3.

The winning pitcher would be the New York Mets pitcher Nolan McLean, who almost got himself a perfect game through six innings. San Francisco Giants pitcher Tyler Mahle would take the loss in this game, as he gave up five runs and eight hits for the night.

Both of these teams had different direction performances. The Giants had a great hitting sequence yesterday, but struggled tonight and only got five hits. While on the other side, the Mets’ offense struggled yesterday but prospered overnight and came out swinging. The Mets would tally up 15 hits tonight.

The New York Mets strike first in the first inning with a couple of runs scored by Mets Francisco Lindor and Bo Bichette, making the score 2-0. Giants pitcher Tyler Mahle was having some early struggles, and the Giants’ defense was letting line drives in, getting players on the bases. Also, the Giants had a quick 1-2-3 batting order and weren’t able to respond to the Mets’ hot start.

However, the Mets would go down a man in this game as Juan Soto was removed from Friday night’s game with right calf tightness. Soto will be replaced by left outfielder Tyrone Taylor. Soto went 1-1 in just playing the 1st inning. Though that wasn’t slowing down the Met’s defense, especially thanks to their starting pitcher, Nolan McLean.

The Mets were feeling determined to bounce back after that Game 1 loss to the Giants yesterday. So starting McLean was their clear choice, espcially that Nolan McLean, through his first 9 MLB starts: 2.21 ERA, 65 Ks. The only other pitchers to reach those marks since ER became an official statistic in 1913: Paul Skenes (2024), Orel Hershiser (1984), Jose DeLeon (1983), and Fernando Valenzuela (1981). Elite company to be in for McLean. Just after the first two innings, he would make the Giants go back-to-back, on a 1-2-3 batting order.

Top of the fourth, the Mets would see some success on their offense. As Mets Marcus Semien would get himself a homer and an RBI. The score would now be 4-0. Then Mets Francisco Alvarez would join the party, as he would get himself a solo homerun, making the score 5-0. Finally, once the Giants got the bleeding stopped, it was their turn at bat. Nothing much has changed, though, as the Mets’ defense and Nolan McLean have been a problem all night for the Giants.

By the top of the sixth, the Giants called it a night for their pitcher, Tyler Mahle. Mahle went four strikeouts, two HR, five Runs, and five hits. San Francisco would bring in RHP JT Brubaker. With that, the Giants’ offense was still not scoring. After a great hitting sequence last night, the Giants were struggling to make some contact with the ball. McLean is still in the game, pitching; he has four strikeouts, and is at 78 pitches.

San Francisco would finally get a hit, and it was a big one. Coming from the Giants, Willy Adames, who would hit a ground-rule double to right-center field. He would bring in a run, with Patrick Bailey scoring and Harrison Bader on third base. A much-needed turnaround is needed for the Giants, but the Mets would make the call to end McLean’s night after that hit from them. Nolan McLean was so close to giving him a perfect game. The Mets would bring in LHP Brooks Raley with just one out in the bottom of the sixth.

Mets pitcher Brooks Raley’s fastball would get by his catcher, Francisco Alvarez, which would bring in a run for the Giants. The score would now be 5-2, but the Mets’ defense would kick in and end that stretch for the Giants. So, top of the seventh comes, and Mets Francisco Alvarez made up for his mistake on letting the fastball get by him, and got a run in for San Francisco. So Alvarez decided and wanted to get his second homer of the night at 401ft distance, pushing the Mets’ lead, 6-2.

Still in the top of the seventh, the Mets just kept coming at the Giants. They were able to get two hits, dropping them right in front of the outfielders. So with the Mets’ smart placement hitting, they would get a couple of runs, making the score 8-2. So San Francisco responded by pulling out JT Brubaker, ending him at two strikeouts, one HR, and three hits. The Giants would put in LHP Matt Gage with one out, but he goes to work and gets his first strikeout on his first batter and stops the inning.

After the eighth inning, and going into the final inning of the game. The Giants got a run in to be down just five runs; the score was 8-3. However, that wasn’t enough to start the ninth inning. Mets Brett Baty would get a double down leftfield and an RBI, making the score 9-3. The Giants made one last pitcher change, so the Mets decided to get one last run in as well. By the bottom of the ninth, it was 10-3. So with the Giants one last time at bat, nothing came out of it as the New York Mets would win and tie the series this season, 1-1.

Once more, for the third time this week, the San Francisco Giants will host the New York Mets Saturday night at 6:05 p.m. back in Oracle Park. The Mets will send out RHP Clay Holmes (1-0) as their starting pitcher. The Giants will counter with RHP Landen Roupp, also (1-0), as their starting pitcher. This game again will be broadcasted on NBCS BA.

Musty’s career night sparks Barracuda in 6-3 win over Eagles

by Marko Ukalovic

SAN JOSE — Quentin Musty scored two goals for the San Jose Barracuda as they defeated the Colorado Eagles 6-3 on Friday evening at Tech CU Arena.

San Jose snapped its four-game losing streak. Colorado had its three-game winning streak snapped.

San Jose (39-22-2-2-82 points) drew first blood early in the first period with an odd man rush. Jimmy Huntington led a two-on-one counterattack inside Colorado’s zone. Huntington sent a cross-ice pass over to Egor Afanasyev who blasted a one-timer past Eagles goalie Kyle Keyser for his 14th goal at the 2:07 mark.

Colorado (39-17-5-5-88 points) answered just over two minutes later back when Tristan Neilsen ripped a wrist shot over the shoulder of Cuda goalie Laurent Brossoit for his career best 25th goal of the season at the 4:11 mark. Gavin Bradley and Jacob MacDonald received assists on the play.

It didn’t take long for the Barracuda to regain the lead. Afanasyev returned the favor when he setup Musty who snapped home a wrist that beat Keyser to the glove side for his 18th goal of the season 52 seconds later. Noah Beck received the secondary assist.

Patrick Giles gave San Jose a 3-1 lead with a short-handed goal just past the halfway mark of the opening frame when he chased down a long pass from Jake Boltmann that caromed off the boards. Giles skates in all alone before beating Keyser with a point-blank shot for his ninth goal of the season at the 10:29 mark.

Filip Bystedt make a great individual move to give the Cuda its third unanswered goal of the period. Colin White fed Bystedt the puck in the slot. Bystedt fought around a Colorado defender for a backhander that was saved by Keyser. Bystedt followed up his own rebound diving to the ice to put the puck in the back of the net for his 20th goal of the season at the 11:53 mark.

The Eagles stopped the bleeding with its second goal of the opening 20 minutes. Matt DiMarsico’s slapshot was initially stopped by Brossoit but Maroš Jedlička poked home the rebound from inside the crease for his fifth goal of the season at the 15:03 mark.

Colorado made it a one-goal deficit when Ivan Ivan finished off a nice give and go down low from Nielsen for his 10th goal of the season with 1:38 left in a wild first period.

A surprisingly scoreless second period featured both goaltenders rebounding with steady play between the pipes. San Jose out shot Colorado 10-6 in the middle frame.

Musty scored his second goal of the game late in the third period while San Jose was on a four-minute power play when Alex Barre-Boulet went to the sin bin for a double minor for high sticking. White sent a back door pass down to Musty who tapped the puck into an open net for his 19th goal of the season at the 15:15 mark.

Musty finished with a career high four-point game with two goals and two assists.

Then White scored the team’s second power play goal of the game 55 seconds later. White centered a puck through the crease that deflected off of Sean Behrens and went underneath Keyser for his 17th goal of the season.

Brossoit (15-7-1) finished with 26 saves on 29 shots to earn his 15th win of the season. Keyser (9-4-1) made 29 saves on 35 shots in the losing effort

GAME NOTES: San Jose finished 2-for-4 on the power play. Colorado went 0-for-4.

Lucas Vanroboys played in his 100th AHL game.

The Three Stars of the Game: 1) Musty 2) Afanasyev 3) Bystedt.

UP NEXT: San Jose and Colorado conclude their two-game weekend series on Saturday at 3:00pm at Tech CU Arena.
