Wil Myers ignited the scoring for the Padres on Wednesday night, helping to lead his team to a much-needed 14-6 win over the Mariners.

Apparently eager to put a rough road trip behind them, the Padres wasted no time pouncing on Mariners spot starter James Paxton in their return to Petco Park on Wednesday night. They put six runs on the board in the first, kicked the extra point in the second and finished with a 14-6 victory over their Pacific Northwest foes.

Left-hander Danny Duffy threw six strong innings and Lorenzo Cain had three hits and scored two runs as the red-hot Royals completed a sweep of the Rays with a 6-3 win on Wednesday night.

Jon Lester shrugged off a home run on his second pitch of the game to throw his first complete game of the season on Wednesday night, leading the Cubs to a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers at Wrigley Field.

George Springer hit a two-out home run in the 11th off Tyler Clippard, sending the Astros past the D-backs, 5-4, on Wednesday night for their fifth straight win, and eighth in the last nine games.

What lefty John Lamb figured out on Wednesday had less to do with what he did so well on the mound during his career-high seven innings for a 7-2 Reds victory over the Rockies. It’s was what Lamb did leading up to the start.

Joe Maddon did not want to take Jon Lester out of Wednesday’s game, and Lester gave him no reason to. Lester threw his first complete game of the season in a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers at Wrigley Field, striking out 10 for his 28th career double-digit-K game.

With two more homers in Wednesday’s 13-9 loss to the Orioles, Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts became the first player in baseball history to hit a homer in each of the first two innings in consecutive games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

For anyone else, it was a routine single through the middle, but speedy Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton doesn’t do routine singles.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts extended his career-high hitting streak to 25 games, blooping a single to center field in the sixth inning of Wednesday night’s 13-9 loss to the Orioles at Camden Yards.

It’s been an up-and-down ride to start the year, but the Blue Jays are finally playing the type of baseball they expected to in 2016 and are starting to resemble a team that will contend as the year continues.

There was nothing on the field Wednesday night hiding the fact that the Nationals’ 7-2 win over the Phillies was a matchup of one team’s veteran ace and the other’s youthful No. 5.

George Springer collected the walk-off home run in the 11th inning that gave the Astros a 5-4 win over the D-backs, but it was the Houston outfield that continually came up with big catches and key plays.

From 1965-2015, 100 high school hurlers have been taken in the top 10 picks, and 38 of those never reached, or have not yet reached the big leagues.

Given that he’s played 293 career games in the park, Arizona outfielder Michael Bourn might know the cavernous center-field regions of Minute Maid Park better than anyone. He proved it again in Wednesday’s 5-4 loss in 11 innings to the Astros, snagging Marwin Gonzalez’s 411-foot shot on a leaping catch into the wall just beside Tal’s Hill in the second inning.

Following a 13-9 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday night, the Red Sox optioned right-hander Joe Kelly to Triple-A Pawtucket and recalled right-hander Noe Ramirez from Triple-A.
