Madison Bumgarner displayed his usual effectiveness on the mound in Tuesday’s 3-2 Giants victory, limiting the Brewers to both of their runs and four hits in eight innings. But he happened to be at the plate when Milwaukee reliever Will Smith flung a pair of wild pitches that helped San Francisco score the go-ahead run in the seventh inning.

Brewers pitcher Matt Garza’s mind was going so fast when he took the mound for the first time this season that he had to take a few moments to collect himself after retiring the first hitter he faced in Tuesday’s eventual 3-2 loss to the Giants. From that point on, the Milwaukee right-hander pitched as if he had been part of the Brewers’ rotation all along instead of someone whose 2016 debut had been postponed more than eight weeks because of a strained right lat muscle.

The A’s only have so many starting options these days, magnifying another disappointing outing from Eric Surkamp in a 10-6 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday night.

Trevor Story homered and drove in three runs and Carlos Gonzalez had four hits — including his 15th home run of the season — as the Rockies beat the Yankees, 13-10, at Coors Field on Tuesday to win for the seventh time in the last nine games.

Rockies righty Tyler Chatwood is 5-0 with a 0.65 ERA in six starts away from Coors Field, and opposing hitters are batting .168 against him. At home? Well, that’s a different story.

Ten years ago, the Mets’ future appeared to be as bright as ever, thanks to young rising stars David Wright and Jose Reyes. Now, with Wright’s injury troubles and Reyes designated for assignment by Colorado, the future has become a sad present.

Ryan Zimmerman has struggled at the plate all season, especially with men on base.

Rockies left fielder Gerardo Parra sprained his left ankle in a collision with shortstop Trevor Story during the third inning of Tuesday night’s 13-10 victory over the Yankees, and will be evaluated Wednesday, manager Walt Weiss said.

Joc Pederson started the Dodgers’ offense Tuesday night with a solo homer in the fifth inning. An inning later, he hit another solo shot. All in all, Los Angeles belted four home runs in a 7-4 win over the D-backs at Chase Field.

Phillies No. 19 prospect Rhys Hoskins was among the top prospect performers Tuesday in the Minors.

Yeah, he hit that one a long way.

Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton flashed his high-school pitching past Tuesday, rifling a throw from center field to nail Angels center fielder Mike Trout at the plate in the first inning.

Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda apparently escaped serious injury Tuesday night when he was drilled on the lower right leg by a Paul Goldschmidt line drive in sixth inning of the Dodgers’ 7-4 win over the D-backs. Maeda had to be helped off the field, but X-rays were negative and he was diagnosed with a bruise.

Returning to Busch Stadium for the first time since 2013, the Astros put a stop to the Cardinals’ five-game winning streak behind a quality start from Doug Fister and plentiful production from the bottom half of their order in a 5-2 win Tuesday night.

Albert Almora Jr.’s RBI double in the ninth inning proved to be the difference as the Cubs edged the Nationals, 4-3, at Nationals Park on Tuesday night.

Jameson Taillon has always bristled at the notion that he’d wasted two seasons of his baseball career. He said nothing could be further from the truth. He’d grown so much, learned so much.
