The Baseball Buffet for 6/6/2026

SFG 18, CHC 3 - SFG SP Robbie Ray pitched five scoreless innings (5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 5 BB, 4 K), and while the Cubs scored three later, including Seiya Suzuki hitting his 9th HR of the year, it really didn't matter. That's because the Giants went off CHC SP Edward Cabrera (3.2 IP, 8 H, 8 ER, 1 BB, 6 K), Chicago's bullpen also, tallying 19 hits and 18 runs in all. They had seven HRs in total, with Willy Adames going 2-2 with 2 walks, 2 HR, 4 runs, and 4 RBI, and Matt Chapman going 2-3 with 2 HR and 8 RBI (one HR was a grand slam). Casey Schmitt went 4-6 with 2 HR, 3 runs, and 3 RBI; Jonah Cox went 3-3 with a HR; and Luis Arraez and Rafael Devers were both 2-5 with a double.

MIL 9, COL 7 (10) - The Rockies scored a run in each of the first three innings off MIL SP Brandon Sproat (5 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K), including Hunter Goodman hitting his 16th of the year in the third inning. Meanwhile, COL SP Ryan Feltner pitched very well (6 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) and the Rockies had a 3-1 lead through eight innings. But then Milwaukee collected a series of hits off Antonio Senzatela and scored four in the top of the ninth to go up 5-3. Trevor Megill came in for the Brewers, but he allowed three singles, a walk, and then a sacrifice fly by Goodman drove in Braxton Fulford, tying the game 5-5 and forcing extras. The Rockies brought in Juan Mejia, but he allowed two walks, a 2-run double to Jake Bauers, and then two singles which gave the Brewers a four-run lead. Aaron Ashby loaded the bases in the bottom of the tenth and Sterlin Thompson singled to drive in two, but then Ashby induced a double play from Brett Sullivan and struck out Jake McCarthy to close it out.

LAA 0, LAD 1 - This one was a pitcher's duel, with both starting pitchers doing very well: LAA SP Reid Detmers (6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K) and LAD SP Roki Sasaki (7 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 10 K). Each team could only manage three hits in the game, but the one that mattered was Freddie Freeman's walk-off HR in the bottom of the ninth off former teammate Kirby Yates.

ATH Kade Morris vs. HOU Tatsuya Imai - The 23-year-old Morris is set to make his major league debut

BOS Ranger Suarez vs. NYY Will Warren - Here is another rivalry game in the Bronx featuring two pitchers having decent seasons so far.

PIT Braxton Ashcraft vs. ATL Spencer Strider - Ashcraft is having a good season with a 2.77 ERA so far, but will be tested by the tough Braves lineup. Meanwhile, Strider is getting strikeouts but also having mixed results overall (3.77 ERA).

MIL Jacob Misiorowski vs. COL TBD Pitcher - given how dominant he has been lately, it almost seems unfair for Misiorowski to go up against the Rockies (who are not a good club, and in particular fifth in MLB in total strikeouts). But then again, the game is in Colorado so that can sometimes throw some pitchers off.
