Pirates 5, Tigers 3 – F/10 – Marte’s homer in 10th inning lifts Pirates over Tigers 5-3
Starling Marte hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night. Jung Ho Kang also went deep for Pittsburgh, which blew a 3-0 lead but recovered to win when Marte hit a two-out drive off Shane Greene (0-1). Detroit’s closer hadn’t allowed a run all season. Keone Kela (1-0) gave up a tying single by Jeimer Candelario in the ninth, but Nick Kingham was able to close out the Tigers in the 10th for his first career save. Pittsburgh starter Joe Musgrove permitted his first two earned runs of the season but was otherwise impressive. He yielded six hits and a walk while striking out six in seven innings. Tigers starter Matthew Boyd struck out the side in the first but eventually allowed three runs in seven innings.
White Sox 5, Royals 1 – Moncada, Garcia power White Sox past Royals 5-1
Yoan Moncada hit a pair of solo shots for his first multihomer game and Leury Garcia added a two-run drive to power the Chicago White Sox past the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Tuesday night. Yonder Alonso also homered and went 4 for 4 as the White Sox won for the fourth time in five games. Reynaldo Lopez (1-2) allowed one run and five hits in six innings to rebound from a poor start to his season. The 25-year-old right-hander had permitted 18 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings over his first three games and gave up eight runs on 10 hits in his last outing against Tampa Bay. Four relievers worked the final three innings for Chicago. Alex Colomé pitched the ninth in a non-save situation.
Cubs 4, Marlins 0 – Quintana goes 7 innings, Cubs beat Marlins 4-0
Jose Quintana gave up six hits in seven innings to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 4-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. Quintana (2-1) struck out seven and extended his scoreless innings streak to 14. The left-hander didn’t allow a runner to reach second until Austin Dean’s two-out double in the seventh. Javier Baez went 3 for 4 and hit his fifth homer, a solo shot to the opposite field off Adam Conley in the eighth. Baez has three hits in each of his last three games. Brandon Kintzler relieved Quintana and surrendered a two-out single to Brian Anderson and walked Starlin Castro. Jorge Alfaro drove Kintzler’s 1-1 fastball to the warning track in center before Albert Almora tracked it down for the third out. Chicago scored its fourth run on Ben Zobrist’s sacrifice fly in the ninth. Pedro Strop pitched a scoreless ninth for the Cubs, who have won five of six.

MLB – 2026 MLB All-Star Game will be in Philadelphia
Baseball’s 2026 All-Star Game will be played in Philadelphia to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Commissioner Rob Manfred made the announcement Tuesday at Independence Hall with a cast of All-Stars past and present behind him. This will be the first All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, which opened in 2004. The 1976 All-Star Game was played at Veterans Stadium to mark the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and the 1996 All-Star Game also was played at the Vet, which stood in the same sports complex in South
Philadelphia. The 1943 and 1952 games were at Shibe Park. This year’s All-Star Game is July 9 in Cleveland.

NBA – Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins has torn left quadriceps
DeMarcus Cousins has a torn left quadriceps muscle that will sideline the Golden State center indefinitely, a devastating injury that the Warriors feared was serious when he went down in the first quarter of their first-round playoff loss to the Clippers. An MRI exam on Cousins’ left leg revealed the tear. The two-time defending NBA champion Warriors said Cousins will begin rehabilitation immediately and updates will be “provided as appropriate.” Coach Steve Kerr said after the Warriors’ 135-131 Game 2 loss on Monday night that Cousins would be out for a significant period. It was just his second career postseason game after a nine-year stint.

NHL – Svechnikov in concussion protocol after fight with Ovechkin
Carolina Hurricanes rookie Andrei Svechnikov is in the concussion protocol after Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin (oh-VECH’-kin) punched him, sending his head crashing onto the ice. Coach Rod Brind’Amour (BRIHN’-dah-mohrz) says he assumes Svechnikov, who was wearing a helmet, will miss Game 4 of the best-of-seven series. The two Russians fought with 9:01 left in the first period of Carolina’s 5-0 victory in Game 3 Monday night. Ovechkin floored Svechnikov with a right hook that left the 19-year-old wobbly and in need of help getting to the dressing room.
NFL – Lions QB Stafford sits out workout as wife has brain tumor
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford did not join his teammates at voluntary workouts Tuesday. Stafford’s wife, Kelly, announced earlier this month she plans to have surgery to remove a brain tumor. She posted on Instagram two days later, thanking everyone for an outpouring of support. Center Graham Glasgow says he recently talked to Stafford, adding his family is doing well. Stafford has been at the team’s training facility this offseason. Matthew and Kelly Stafford have three children. They began dating at Georgia, where he was the star of the football team and she was a cheerleader. He was the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft and has spent his entire career with the Lions.
