Misiorowski’s 103.7 MPH Record Powers Brewers’ Win Over Rockies

Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski threw a record 103.7 mph fastball—the fastest since tracking began—in a 7-1 win over the Rockies. It was one of 52 pitches in triple digits; Misiorowski went seven innings, allowing one run on four hits with eight strikeouts. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said velocity helps but must be in the zone, and MLB’s X account even cheekily referenced WWE rivals Danhausen and The Miz in relation to the moment.

Ohtani homers, Dodgers ride six no-hit innings to sweep Rockies

Shohei Ohtani opened the game with a homer and worked six no-hit innings as the Dodgers defeated Colorado 4-1 to sweep the series.

Ohtani allowed one run in the frame but the rest of the outing was zeroes, helping Los Angeles move to 36-20 on the season (on a 104-win pace) as they prep for a three-game set with the Phillies; Teoscar Hernández left the game with a left hamstring strain.

Vientos Powers Mets to Road-Series Win as Weather Looms for Rockies

The Mets defeated the Angels 5-1 to grab their second road series, led by Mark Vientos’s two-run homers and a strong 6 2/3-inning outing from Clay Holmes. They head to Colorado where forecast rain and possible snow could delay Monday’s game, with an opener likely; Ronny Mauricio’s return is 6–8 weeks after a fractured left thumb, and the Mets’ shortstop duties are expected to be shuffled between Bo Bichette and Vidal Bruján depending on matchups.

Braves Ride Power at Coors to a Three-Game Sweep of the Rockies

Mauricio Dubón lined a bases-clearing triple in the opener, Michael Harris II delivered a clutch pinch-hit homer late, and Jonah Heim drove in five in the finale while Chris Sale spun seven strong innings in another win. Ronald Acuña Jr. left with a strained hamstring, but Atlanta still holds an historic 35-game start — the best since 1892 — as they head to Seattle for the next test.

Rocky Sweep at Citi Field Signals Mets Crisis in Early 2026

The New York Mets were swept at Citi Field by the Colorado Rockies in a three-game set, scoring only four runs and slipping to 9-19—the worst MLB record—on a pace to be shut out roughly 29 times and to score one run in about half their games. Frustration grows as Francisco Lindor deals a calf strain and other key players deal with injuries, while GM David Stearns’ roster moves are under scrutiny and an in-season reckoning seems likely rather than a patient rebuild.

Rockies Put Freeland on IL as Quintana Rejoins Rotation

Colorado placed left-hander Kyle Freeland on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation (retroactive to April 13); Jose Quintana is reinstated to start tonight, with a rotation that also includes Sugano, Feltner, Dollander and Lorenzen. Freeland’s absence could jeopardize his chances of triggering a $17 million vesting option for 2027, which requires 170 innings this season, a benchmark he has reached in only two of his past seasons. The Rockies are rebuilding after a rough 2025, and Quintana slides back into Freeland’s spot to begin the current rotation.
