Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez went 1-for-2 with a mammoth two-run home run against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats at ARM & HAMMER Park on Wednesday night in the second game of his rehab stint with Double-A Trenton. Rodriguez is expected to be activated from the disabled list for the Yankees’ 4:05 p.m. ET series finale against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Russell Martin slugged his first two homers of the season, supporting Marco Estrada’s solid effort as the Blue Jays ended the Yankees’ six-game win streak with an 8-4 victory on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.

Steven Wright continued his strong start and Jackie Bradley Jr. ran his hitting streak to 29 games, leading the Red Sox to a 10-3 victory over the Rockies on Wednesday night at Fenway Park.

A day after showcasing their lineup’s full potential, the Pirates displayed their resilience. David Freese’s two-run homer punctuated a four-run fifth inning as the Bucs stormed back to beat the D-backs, 5-4, on Wednesday night at PNC Park.

At this time a year ago, Robinson Cano was mired in a miserable slump that lasted through the first half, spurring questions about whether he was entering a steep decline phase. These days, Cano is making those concerns seem silly.

Just a perfect face to make.

The Astros got big blasts from Luis Valbuena and Evan Gattis, and capitalized on four Orioles errors, to edge Baltimore, 4-3, on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park, securing a series win in the three-game set.

Russell Martin had been waiting a very, very long time for this. Forty-one games, to be exact. Martin’s homerless drought finally came to an end at 124 at-bats on Wednesday night when he went deep twice in Toronto’s 8-4 victory over the Yankees. It was the second-longest stretch without a home run to start a season in Martin’s career and one that he’ll want to put in his rearview mirror as quickly as possible.

The Red Sox lost both members of their double-play combination during Wednesday night’s 10-3 win over the Rockies. But manager John Farrell is confident second baseman Dustin Pedroia (right hamstring tightness) and shortstop Xander Bogaerts (sore right thumb) will both be back for Thursday’s series finale.

Mark Teixeira received a cortisone shot on Wednesday to calm the neck spasms that have been affecting his play this month, and though he could sit out a few more days, the Yankees say that they do not expect the first baseman to require a stint on the disabled list.

The San Francisco Giants, baseball’s hottest team with 13 wins in their past 14 games, maintained their dominance of the San Diego Padres as Brandon Crawford drilled a two-out, walk-off single to give the National League West leaders a 4-3 victory Wednesday and a sweep of the three-game series. The Giants have won all nine games between the two clubs this season, marking their first nine-game winning streak against the Padres in franchise history.

In the rich history of the Red Sox, there are only three players who have put together a longer hitting streak than Jackie Bradley Jr., who extended his impressive run to 29 games in Wednesday night’s 10-3 win over the Rockies.

He was smiling with his teammates, bouncing around the field and looked refreshed. Simply put, Carlos Gomez was being Carlos Gomez again. Prior to the second game of his Minor League rehab stint at Double-A Corpus Christi on Wednesday night, Gomez said the rib cage injury that put him on the disabled list might have come at a good time.

Alex Bregman doesn’t make many mistakes on the baseball field, so when he was picked off base in a game a few days ago in Midland, Double-A Corpus Christi manager Rodney Linares noticed Bregman sitting with his head down in the dugout.

Cole Gillespie’s RBI single in the eighth drove home the go-ahead run to lead the Marlins to a 4-3 win over the Rays on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field.

Suds everywhere!
