Willie Mays, the greatest Giant of all and one of the greatest baseball players ever, passed away on Tuesday, just days before the sport will be honoring his legacy at the Rickwood Field game.
Aaron Judge had to exit the Yankees’ 4-2 win over the Orioles in the fourth inning after he was hit by a pitch on the left hand. But X-rays and a CT scan on Judge’s hand taken after the game came back clean. No fracture.

Bryce Harper opened the ninth inning with a single off Padres closer Robert Suarez, setting the stage for Nick Castellanos’ walk-off double three batters later.
Carlos Santana’s pinch-hit, walk-off single in the ninth inning sent the Twins to a 7-6 victory over the Rays after the sides had earlier waited out a one-hour, 23-minute rain delay.
