The Baseball Buffet for 5/30/2026

TOR 6, BAL 5 - The Blue Jays went with a bullpen day strategy, but Austin Voth struggled in the middle innings, giving up three HR to Jackson Holliday, Pete Alonso, and Samuel Basallo. BAL SP Trevor Rogers was doing well through six frames, but then in the seventh gave up 2-run HRs to both Kazuma Okamoto and Charles McAdoo. For McAdoo, he was making his MLB debut so this was his first career major league HR. The Blue Jays scored two more in the eighth off Orioles reliever Yennier Cano to take a 6-5 lead, and then Braydon Fisher eventually threw a scoreless ninth to earn his first save of the year.

MIN 5, PIT 6 - Both teams did most of their scoring early, starting with the Twins' Kody Clemens who hit a solo HR in the top of the first. Coming back from injury and making his first major appearance since late 2024, PIT SP Jared Jones had 6 K in 4.1 IP, but also allowed 7 H, 2 BB, and 5 ER, including a 2-run HR by Trevor Larnach in the third. MIN SP Taj Bradley similarly had 6 K in 4 IP, but also gave up 5 H, 2 BB, and 4 ER, including a HR by Oneil Cruz, his 12th of the year. Both bullpens quieted things down for several innings, including Pittsburgh's Gregory Soto throwing a scoreless top of the ninth. Taylor Rogers came in for the bottom of the ninth with Minnesota ahead 5-4, but ended up allowing a walk-off 2-run HR to Bryan Reynolds.

MIA 7, NYM 9 (10) - MIA SP Max Meyer had been having a good season, but the Mets scored four against him in the first inning. He stayed in and went six innings (6 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 6 K), giving up a solo HR to Mark Vientos in the third. NYM SP Freddy Peralta allowed a lot of baserunners (4.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K), and the Marlins later tied the game 7-7 in the eighth inning with a 2-run HR by Owen Cassie. The game went into extras, and Mets reliever Austin Warren pitched a scoreless top of the tenth. The Rays brought in Pete Fairbanks, but after getting Juan Soto to fly out, he allowed a 2-run walk-off HR to MJ Melendez.

DET 3, CWS 4 (10) - Dillon Dingler hit a 2-run HR in the third inning, and DET SP Troy Melton pitched another good game (7 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K). But the White Sox scored in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game 2-2 and force extras. A sacrifice bunt advanced the Tigers automatic runner to third, and then a sacrifice fly drove him in. Drew Anderson came in for Detroit and got two outs, but then Miguel Vargas hit a 2-run, walk-off HR.

SFG 6, COL 8 - SFG SP Logan Webb did well in his first start back from the IL (4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K), and the Giants were up 4-1 going into the bottom of the eighth. Ezequiel Tovar hit a 2-run HR to bring the Rockies within one, but then San Francisco scored two in the top of the ninth to go up 6-3. They brought in reliever Caleb Killian, but he gave up two singles and then a 3-run HR to Hunter Goodman which tied the game. The Giants stuck with him, and after a two-out single by Willi Castro, Tovar hit his second HR of the game, a walk-off two-run HR for the win.
