NEW YORK. — The Sacramento Athletics beat the New York Mets 1-0 at Citi Field on Sunday afternoon and swept them for the first time in franchise history.

With their fifth straight victory, the Athletics are in first place in the American League West a half game ahead of the second place Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels. The A’s came away 5-1 on their road trip against both New York teams, after giving up only the first game against the New York Yankees.

Nick Kurtz hit his first homer of the season, a fly ball to right field, in the third inning to put the A’s up 1-0. Kurtz laughed the shot off Freddy Peralta (1-1) after notching 36 home runs last season and the AL Rookie of the Year title.

In the sixth, Francisco Lindor singled on a sharp line drive to center fielder Denzel Clarke but the Mets failed to score a run.

A’s starting pitcher Aaron Civale set the tone early and never let up, working 5.2 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits. After surrendering a leadoff single in the first, Civale settled in and retired 13 consecutive batters at one point, keeping the Mets off balance all afternoon.

The bullpen continued the effort seamlessly. Hogan Harris, Scott Barlow, and Joel Kuhnel combined to finish the shutout, with Kuhnel locking down the ninth for his second save. It was a clinical performance from a staff that has quietly become a strength during this road trip.

After a slow start to the season, this road trip marks a turning point for the A’s.

The Athletics return home to West Sacramento and welcome the Texas Rangers (7-7) for a four-game series starting on Monday. A’s right-handed pitcher Luis Severino (0-1, 4.50 ERA) will face Rangers right-handed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (1-2, 7.98 ERA ) in the opener. First pitch is at 6:40 p.m. PT.

Giants Offense Sputters Losing Series to Baltimore in Game Three 6-2

It was not at all pretty as the San Francisco Giants (6-10) dropped their series with the Baltimore Orioles (8-7) losing 6-2 on Sunday. The Giants lost by scores of 6-2 Saturday and Sunday and picked up their only win on Friday 6-3.

The Giants struggled at the plate finishing with only seven hits getting a rough start going three and out in the first four innings from starting pitcher Adrian Houser who finished 4 2/3 innings giving up four runs and it was all down hill for the rest of the game. The one bright spot for the Giants were the three hits off the bat of Casey Schmitt, the third hit a solo home run in the ninth inning.

Game recap: Baltimore had a great start in this game taking a first inning lead. Samuel Basallo hit a two-run homerun with Pete Alonso on base for a 2-0 lead. San Francisco really struggled at the plate going three and out through the first four innings of the game, looking for their first hit going into the fifth inning. O’s pitcher Povich was doing a bang-up job in his first outing.

The Giants got their first hit of the game in the fifth inning off the bat of Schmitt. Schmitt scored when Daniel Susac got his third RBI hitting a single and San Francisco had cut the Baltimore lead in half.

In a little over an hour this game was going into the middle of the fifth inning. The impressive pitching of Povich had much to do with how quickly this game was moving. Going three and out through four innings moves a game along very efficiently.

Baltimore pushed their lead out in the bottom of the inning scoring two more runs with two outs. The Orioles Pete Alonso doubled driving Gunnar Henderson and Taylor Ward both home. Henderson and Ward had both singled scoring from first and third. That would be it for the Houser.

He finished 4.2 innings giving up five hits, four runs and a couple of walks. He was relieved by Matt Gage who took over with two Baltimore runners on base but he successfully got out of the inning. With the two runs scored in the fifth inning Povich and the Orioles took a 4-1 lead into the sixth inning.

Baltimore would add one more run in the bottom of the sixth inning taking a 5-1 lead. Coby Mayo singled and Leody Taveras scored from second base.

Through six innings Orioles pitcher Povich only had thrown 78 pitches finishing 6 2/3 innings. In the seventh inning he allowed a couple of hits, a Schmitt single and a Ramos double. He allowed five hits, one earned run, no walks and five strikeouts. He was relieved by Anthony Nunez to finish off the seventh inning.

With no outs Baltimore got a couple of hits in a row off right hand Giant pitchers. The Orioles Alonso and Ward and they were threatening again. There were more changes on the mound for San Francisco as Erik Miller relieved Ryan Walker who had pitched two thirds of the seventh inning.

With one out in the bottom of seventh, Miller was faced with a bases-loaded situation. Miller got out of the inning but he did give up another Baltimore run giving the Orioles a 6-1 lead. Ward had scored on an infield Colton Cowser hit.

This game went into the top of the ninth inning and the Giants were three outs away from losing the game and the series. San Francisco did score in the final inning when Schmitt had his third hit of the game and it was a dandy, a solo home run to left. That would be it for the Giants. San Francisco’s offense never really clicked in this game their season record dropping to 6-10.

Game notes: It was a beautiful day at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for game three between the Giants and the Orioles. After winning the first game of the series Friday 6-3, San Francisco dropped game two 6-2 and lost the series to the O’s dropping game three 6-2 Sunday. Giants starter Andrian Houser got touched up early in the game pitching 4.2 innings, five hits, four earned runs, two walks and three strikeouts. For O’s starter Cade Povich 6.2 innings, five hits, one earned run and five strike outs.

The Giants will now travel to Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati for a three-game series with the Reds. Probable pitchers for game one will be Robbie Ray who comes into this game with a 2-1 win/loss record and a 2.08 ERA. For the Reds Brady Singer will probably get the nod. He has a 0-1 win/loss record and a 7.71 ERA. First pitch for this game is scheduled for 3:40 PM PDT Tuesday evening.

Canucks take it to the limit in six shootout rounds 4-3 over the Sharks; Playoff hopes shrink

SAN JOSE, Calif–The San Jose Sharks continued their push in the Western Conference wild-card race Saturday night, hosting the Vancouver Canucks in their final home game of the season. Although mathematically the Sharks playoff contention is almost gone with a 4-3 loss in the six round shootout, San Jose looked to extend its momentum and deliver one last memorable performance for the home crowd on Fan Appreciation Night at the SAP Center.

The Sharks struck first midway through the opening period. Off a faceoff in the offensive zone, Macklin Celebrini helped generate possession before Igor Nyzhnyshov capitalized, slipping past the Canucks’ defense and beating the goaltender to give San Jose a 1-0 lead at 8:00 of the first.

The score remained unchanged through the rest of the period, with both teams trading chances but unable to break through. Vancouver found its equalizer in the second period thanks to a costly mistake. Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov mishandled a puck cleared from Vancouver’s defensive zone, leaving the net exposed and the defense scrambling. Marco Rossi took advantage of the miscue, scoring into the open net to tie the game 1-1.

San Jose responded quickly. Tyler Toffoli finished off a well-executed offensive sequence, with assists from Sam Dickinson and Michael Misa, restoring the Sharks’ lead at 2-1 midway through the second period.

Vancouver answered late in the frame on a power play. Filip Hronek unleashed a heavy slap shot that Askarov initially stopped, but the puck slipped through his grasp and landed in front of the crease, where Jake DeBrusk buried the rebound to even the score at 2-2.

Sharks answered again, and Celebrini recorded another point with an assist, and Igor Chernyshov scored another goal, to take the lead again. Vancouver wanted to make this game more complicated with another power-play goal just a second before the Sharks came back to full strength, and Canuck’s Teddy Blueger in front of the net scored the third of the night, taking this game to OT.

In OT, the Sharks took it to the limit in a fifth round of penalty shootout, but the Sharks were unable to seal the deal at home and ultimately, the Canucks took the win in the last game at home.

Despite this loss, the Sharks have not been officially eliminated from playoff contention. Mathematically, the Sharks still have a chance. However, their faith does not lie solely in the men in teal. With this 4-3 score, the team closed out their home schedule, rewarding their supporters with a hard-fought win and a glimpse of the team’s developing core heading into the future.

Now, the Sharks go on the road to close out the season vs. Nashville, Chicago, and Winnipeg.

SF Giants game wrap: A Strange Turn and a Quiet Finish as O’s defeat Giants 6-2 at Camden Yard

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

San Francisco Giants starter Logan Webb grimaces after the Baltimore Orioles went to work on him. Webb’s line six innings, five hits, four runs, three walks, and six strikeouts at Camden Yard in Baltimore on Sat Apr 11, 2026 (AP News photo)

By Mauricio Segura

The Giants did not get blown off the field, which may have made this one even more irritating. For a while, they looked steady, sharp, and very much in position to keep their good stretch rolling. Heliot Ramos drove in a run in the second inning with a two-out single, then brought home another with a groundout in the fourth. That gave San Francisco both of its runs, and it briefly felt like the club had enough control to push this game in its own direction.

Instead, the offense stalled, the rhythm slipped, and a contest that was still within reach turned into a 6-2 loss. Ramos finished with two hits and both RBI, but the Giants could not find the extra swing that might have changed the shape of the game. Their three-game winning streak ended, and what started as a manageable afternoon slowly turned into one that felt like sand slipping through their fingers.

Logan Webb was not terrible, but he was not sharp enough to survive Baltimore’s growing pressure. He worked six innings, gave up five hits, and allowed four runs. That line tells part of the story, but not all of it. Webb had moments where he looked like the pitcher the Giants trust to settle a game and keep a lead in place.

He also had stretches where Baltimore forced him to pitch from a less comfortable spot. Gunnar Henderson tied the score with a run-scoring groundout early, then pushed the Orioles ahead with a solo homer in the third. Webb kept battling after that, yet the game never quite settled back down for him. When an ace is even a little off, good teams keep poking until something opens. That is exactly what happened here. Webb was not shelled, but he spent too much of the game reacting instead of dictating, and that usually means trouble.

The fourth inning was where the whole thing got weird, and the weirdness mattered. Ramos had just tied the game at 2-2, which should have given the Giants a clean reset. Instead, Baltimore answered with a messy, maddening sequence that seemed to suck the air out of San Francisco’s dugout.

On a ground ball to second, runner Dylan Beavers tried to leap over Luis Arraez and kicked him in the hand. Beavers was ruled out for interference, but because the play was called dead immediately, the batter remained safe at first even though Arraez still completed the throw in time.

That is the sort of baseball rule that can make perfectly sane people want to yell at a wall. The inning continued, Leody Taveras later scored, and the Orioles added two runs in all. Arraez stayed in briefly, got a hit in the fifth, then exited with a right wrist contusion. X-rays were negative, but the moment itself felt like more than a fluke. It changed the tone of the game and left the Giants chasing it.

San Francisco had chances after that, which is what keeps this loss from being dismissed as one of those days when nothing was possible. Things were possible. The Giants simply did not cash in often enough. Chris Bassitt, who had struggled badly in his first two starts of the season, lasted only 4 2/3 innings, allowed seven hits, and threw 89 pitches.

That should have been an opening. Instead, Baltimore’s bullpen slammed the door. The Giants stranded men in scoring position in the fifth and eighth innings and finished 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position. That stat is the kind that tells the truth without needing any decoration.

Seven hits against a starter who was still trying to find himself should have created more damage than two runs. It did not. San Francisco got traffic, but not traffic with purpose. The lineup kept knocking, but nobody came through with the big swing or the sharp line drive that could flip the game back.

Baltimore, meanwhile, got exactly the kind of production the Giants could not match. Jeremiah Jackson was the loudest problem in the room. He finished a triple short of the cycle, doubled home a run in the fourth, and later homered to add breathing room.

Henderson’s solo shot set the tone, Colton Cowser chipped in two hits, and Coby Mayo drove in two runs, first on a forceout and then with a single in the eighth. None of it looked accidental. The Orioles kept stacking useful at-bats, even while dealing with roster trouble.

Adley Rutschman had gone on the injured list with left ankle inflammation before the game, and Ryan Mountcastle exited early with left foot pain, but Baltimore still found enough offense to control the second half of the contest. For the Giants, that part stings too. They were not beaten by a club running at full strength and firing on all cylinders. They were beaten by a team that adapted faster and finished cleaner.

The Giants were not hopeless. They were not lifeless. They just were not good enough in the moments that decide games between capable teams. Ramos did his job. Webb battled. Arraez kept playing through pain until he could not.

But the lineup let a shaky starter escape, the defense got dragged into a bizarre turning point, and the bullpen could not keep the margin frozen long enough for a comeback. Games like this are annoying because they tease you with possibility before shutting the door. The Giants can walk away saying they were in it, and that is true. They also have to admit they left too much unfinished.

Utah Mammoth game wrap: Hurricanes Blow Through Utah In 4-1 Win

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Mammoth forward Dylan Guenther lit the lamp for the 40th time this season, but the wind was at Carolina’s back in final contest against an Eastern Conference foe. (AP News photo)

by Tom Walker April 11, 2026

SALT LAKE CITY–The playoff bound Utah Mammoth (42-30-6) and Eastern Conference leading Carolina Hurricanes (51-22-6) squared off Saturday afternoon for a matinee matchup which gave Utah an opportunity to test their post-season readiness against an elite opponent. Unfortunately the Mammoth didn’t past the test with the Hurricane bowing to them in a three goal deficit 4-1 at the Delta Center.

Carolina enjoyed an early scoring opportunity when Mikhail Sergachev was whistled for holding against Seth Jarvis just 3:27 into the contest. Hurricane forward Andrei Svechnikov cashed it in a minute later on a backhand past Karel Vejmelka for his 31st goal of the season, assisted by Nikolaj Ehlers and Shayne Gostisbehere.

At 13:23, Jordan Staal made it 2-0 on a wrist shot for his 20th of the season, assisted by Ehlers and Jordan Martinook. Utah Captain Clayton Keller appeared to get one back for the Mammoth late in the frame, but the goal was nullified due to off sides. Frederik Andersen stopped all seven shot attempts in the period by Utah, while Vejmelka turned away 11 of 13.

The second period was extremely uneventful, unless defense is one’s favorite facet of the game, with neither squad able to muster much on offense. The respective netminders each shut out the other side, with Andersen blanking the Mammoth in seven attempts and Vejmelka stopping five.

Sebastian Aho opened the door for a Utah comeback early in the third, going to the sin bin two minutes into the frame for high sticking against Nate Schmidt. Dylan Guenther didn’t disappoint, netting his 40th goal of the season on a slap shot, assisted by Keller and Sergachev, to bring the Mammoth to within one.

Guenther is the first Mammoth player to reach the 40 goal mark, the 12th NHL player to do so this season, and it is the first time in his career that he has done so. On the power play goal, Utah established a new franchise record with power play goals in eight straight games.

Perhaps the loudest fan reaction of the evening came at 14:48 of the third, when rookie 6’4″ defenseman Dmitri Simashev dropped the gloves for the first time in his NHL career, tangling with Charles Alexis Legault. The Mammoth kept the game remarkably close despite the seeming mismatch on the ice for most of the game, but at 15:31 Aho tipped in the puck for his 27th of the year, assisted by Shayne Gostisbehere and Jaccob Slavin, to put the game virtually out of reach.

With Vejmelka pulled for the extra attacker, Utah continued to keep pressure on the Canes in the offensive zone but couldn’t solve Anderson in the Carolina net. With 23 seconds remaining in regulation, Sean Walker scored his ninth of the season into an empty net to send fans to the exits.

With the regulation loss, the Mammoth maintain their streak of being the only team in the NHL which has not participated in a shootout this season.

Defenseman Sean Durzi, who skated in his 300th career contest on Saturday, spoke to the media in the locker room about his team’s slow start. “I mean, that’s the Carolina Hurricanes. That’s what you’re getting with that team. We know that you have to be patient. Not much, not many plays there to be made, and I thought that’s what you saw. I think they always come out pretty hard, and we knew that, we knew what to expect. I thought we found our game in the second and then, yeah, that hockey game. It’s a couple bounces the other way, and pucks go in the net. But listen, that’s the Hurricanes. We’ve got to stay patient, and that’s the way the hockey game went.” Many of the post-game questions centered around being a test for the playoffs, and the importance of patience. “We say it all the time. Patience is so important in these games,” said Durzi. “Especially a team like us, a young, skilled, fast team. We want to make plays, and there are plays to be made, but at the same time, we can’t force it. Not to say that we did, and that we were trying to force plays. But again, that’s hockey where we stay patient, we stay on them, we put pucks in, and then let our skill take over from there. And you know what? That’s a good test for us today. And again, that’s a lot of what’s to come.” On Guenther’s 40th goal, Durzi added, “First off, as a guy, he’s unbelievable. I mean, we can talk about him forever, just you know how much he means to this team, as a person, and the energy he brings, the competitiveness, the fire, all that stuff. But as a hockey player, he’s special. I remember the first time that I met him, you see his release. And then if you compare it to now, it gets better every day. So he’s an awesome guy, awesome player. Couldn’t be more happy for him. I think a lot of the guys wanted him to hit that milestone, even though they wouldn’t say it. But we’re all rooting for him, trying to find him out there, and for him to get 40, it’s only a little bit of a teaser of what’s to come. He’s a great hockey player and a great person, couldn’t be happier.”

“Yeah, I mean, it feels good, definitely something that I was eyeing down the stretch, said Guenther of his milestone. “So really great play by those guys again [Keller & Sergachev], and it’s definitely nice to have.” Asked about what Utah learned in the game, Guenther said, “Yeah, I think just being ready, and I think we didn’t necessarily do all the right things right tonight. But when we do the right things, we’re one of the best teams in the league. And I thought that we outplayed them for bits and parts of the second. If we do that, I think we’ll be in a good spot.”

Utah Mammoth Head Coach André Tourigny was asked if having a 40-goal scorer gives his teammates more confidence. “I don’t know if the number is something that effects our confidence,” Bear said, “but having Gunner in our lineup, knowing how he can play, how he can shoot, his release, his shooting ability, all of that, that for sure helps our confidence, because you know what he can do. I think he’s a great weapon for us. The growth in his game, it’s clear. I think this year, like I said many times, we wanted him to become the player he is right now. Being able to contribute in different ways, score goals in different ways, contribute in a whole lot of different ways, from checking, to producing offensively, so on and so forth.” On his key takeaways from the game, Tourigny said, “There’s a few things like I said, the start, the intent you need to be able to match the intensity or take the momentum early on is one. There were some moments of frustration at some points where we needed to stay even keeled. I think the guys reacted really well after that was pretty good. They are a pretty tight checking team. I liked the way that we progressed in the game of playing against that style. If there’s space, we have the skill and we can make plays, but when there’s no space, you have to be able to generate different ways. Creating space behind the D and stuff like that. I like the way we generated in the second half of the game. Generate that way, and that was positive. So there’s a few takeaways.”

Utah (43-30-6) hits the road for one final away game on Sunday against the Calgary Flames before finishing out the season at home on Tuesday and Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues.

Sacramento A’s game wrap: A’s on fire win 4th in a row; Sac’s Soderstrom connects for two home runs in 11-6 win

By Jessica Kwong

NEW YORK. — The Sacramento Athletics beat the New York Mets, 11-6, to clinch the series victory at Citi Field on Saturday evening and notch their fourth straight win of the season.

Tyler Soderstrom hit two home runs and drove in five runs, and the A’s tagged Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga for a career-high seven runs over a career-low 2.1 innings. In the final stretch of their six-game road trip in the New York City area, the A’s have emerged a different team.

“Obviously we’re playing really good baseball against really good teams. We knew the first two weeks of our season were going to be a challenge with the teams that we were facing,” said A’s manager Mark Kotsay. “Right now we’ve got a chance to obviously sweep a series in New York, which, you know, it says a lot about the team and the confidence that they have.”

Bo Bichette singled on a line drive to center fielder Denzel Clarke and Luis Robert Jr. scored, putting the Mets up 1-0 in the first inning.

In the second, Clarke walked and Jacob Wilson scored, tying the game. Lawrence Butler grounded into a force out, fielded by second baseman Marcus Semien, and Jeff McNeil scored, giving the A’s a 2-1 lead.

Tyler Soderstrom hit a home run on a fly ball to right center field and Shea Langeliers scored.

“It’s good to get the first one out of the way and then just keep rolling,” said Soderstrom.

Then Carlos Cortes hit a home run on a fly ball to right center field and Jacob Wilson and McNeil scored, expanding the A’s lead to 7-1. It was his first homer of the season.

Cortes said the key to his success was “always preparing like I’m going to play, even if I know I’m not going to play.”

In the fifth inning, Bichette homered on a fly ball to right field and Francisco Lindor scored, cutting the Mets’ lead to 7-3.

The umpire reviewed a home run in the sixth inning and the call on the field was overturned, and Francisco Alvarez’s fly ball to center field put the Mets within three runs of the A’s. Bretty Baty hit a sacrifice fly to center fielder Clarke and Carson Benge scored, and the Mets trailed 7-5.

In the seventh inning, Jorge Polanco hit a home run on a fly ball to right field, putting the Mets within one.

Langeliers in the eighth singled on a ground ball to Benge and Clarke scored, putting the A’s up 8-6. Soderstrom homered on a fly ball to right center field and Nick Kurtz and Langeliers scored, putting the A’s on top 11-6.

“The guys swang the at-bats really well, I mean, what a day for both Sodi and Cortes. You know, big hit by Lang there in the eighth, keep the inning going,” Kotsay said. “So offensively we took some great at-bats against some good pitching today and the results were there.”

New York (7-8) dropped a season-high four consecutive games. The A’s have won five of their last six games at Citi Field.

In the series finale on Sunday, A’s right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale (1-0 ERA 2.70) will face Mets right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta (1-0 ERA 4.80). First pitch is at 10:40 a.m. PT at Citi Field.

US Women edge Japan Women 2-1 at Pay Pal Park

US Women’s Team’s Rose Lavelle (16) celebrates her goal against Team Japan at the ninth minute at Pay Pal Park in San Jose Sat Apr 11, 2026 (Getty photo)

By William Espy

SAN JOSE–The United States Women’s National Team was in San Jose on Saturday as they hosted the Japanese National Team at PayPal Park as part of their current series of friendly matches.

Rose Lavelle, who was making her 100th start with the National Team, opened the scoring in the ninth minute, giving the United States an early lead. After the goal, the Japan offense came to life, getting a couple of chances on American goalkeeper Claudia Dickey.

The United States nearly doubled their lead with a nice passing play in the 21st minute, but Alyssa Thompson’s shot went over the goal. The United States carried momentum after that point, getting quite a few chances late in the first half. The Americans would take their 1-0 lead into the half.

Japan made a pair of substitutions to start the second half, while the United States kept the same lineup.

The American captain, Lindsey Heaps, was able to break through the Japanese defense and get her foot on a perfectly placed pass by Lavelle to make it a 2-0 game.

Japan made wholesale changes in the 60th minute, swapping out four players in an attempt to get their offense going. Less than a minute later, Japan got their first goal of the night off a header by Riko Ueki. Sophia Wilson nearly restored the Americans’ two-goal lead in the 64th minute but was denied on a shot from inside the box.

In the 67th minute, the United States made their first substitutions of the night. Trinity Rodman exited for Michelle Cooper while Ally Sentnor took the field for Wilson.

Ueki nearly tied things up in the 79th minute but was denied by Dickey.

Bay FC’s Claire Hutton entered the match in the 84th minute, taking Heaps’ spot on the pitch. Emma Sears also entered the game at that point for Alyssa Thompson.

The United States hung on to their lead for the remainder of the half, picking up a 2-1 victory over Japan.
