The Nebraska baseball team is looking to bounce back after a difficult weekend at Ohio State, where the Huskers were swept in a three-game series. Nebraska entered that series ranked No. 16 nationally but has since dropped to No. 25 in the D1Baseball poll and No. 24 in the coaches poll. The shift in rankings carries postseason implications, as the top 16 teams in the country typically host an NCAA regional. While that goal remains within reach, the Huskers will likely need a strong finish to the regular season. Nebraska begins that push this weekend with its final home series at Haymarket Park against Iowa. “Kind of just flushing it and leaving it in Ohio,” Short Stop Dylan Carrey said. “There’s no reason to think about it when we’re at home and have an opportunity this next week.” The Huskers emphasized regrouping after the series, focusing on both corrections and positives. “It wasn’t how we wanted it to go,” Pitcher Jalen Worthley said. “It was pretty sloppy all around, but you learn from it. You don’t want to dwell on it too much, but you do want to acknowledge what you’re doing wrong.” Head coach Will Bolt said the team is working to regain its energy and consistency, including a key change to the pitching staff. Ty Horn is expected to move from the bullpen back into the starting rotation for the series against the Hawkeyes. Nebraska is aiming for a strong close to the season, with seven regular-season games remaining. First pitch for the Iowa series is set for Friday night at 6 PM CST at Haymarket Park. Saturday and Sunday games are scheduled for the first pitch at 2 PM CST. #nebraskabaseball #huskers #cornhuskers #huskersbaseball #bigtenbaseball

The San Diego Padres take the series in San Francisco with a HUGE 5-1 win over the Giants behind dominant pitching, a clutch Ty France two-run triple, and a MONSTER Xander Bogaerts home run down the left-field line! Matt Waldron was sensational tonight: 5 innings, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 7 strikeouts, and his FIRST WIN of the season. Then the bullpen slammed the door: Adrian Morejon struck out FOUR in two shutout innings, and Mason Miller closed it with pure gas. The turning point came in the 7th inning when Ty France ripped a two-run triple after the Padres manufactured offense during a tense 1-1 game. The Padres pitching staff retired 11 straight hitters and 14 of 15 during one stretch tonight while holding the Giants to just THREE hits. And after offensive struggles recently? The Padres have now scored 15 runs in their last two games.

Lo que comenzó como un posible revés para la rotación de los Dodgers se transformó en una jornada ofensiva dominante en el Daikin Park. Pese a perder a Tyler Glasnow por dolor en la parte baja de la espalda tras apenas una entrada, Los Ángeles se llevó una victoria por 12-2 sobre los Astros el miércoles, encabezada por una histórica jornada del cubano Andy Pagés, quien conectó tres jonrones por primera vez en su carrera. El triunfo concluyó la serie demostrando cómo la alineación de los campeones puede respaldar a un bullpen obligado a cubrir largos episodios de relevo de manera repentina. Mientras que el enfoque inicial estuvo en la partida de Glasnow, los últimos siete capítulos fueron definidos por un ataque de 14 hits que impidió que Houston capitalizara el cambio repentino de lanzador. La explosión del ataque comenzó en el tercer inning. Después de que Shohei Ohtani anotara en un lanzamiento descontrolado para darle a los Dodgers una ventaja por 3-1, Pagés conectó un cuadrangular de tres carreras por el jardín izquierdo ante el abridor de los Astros, Lance McCullers Jr. Dos entradas después, el guardabosque agregó un tablazo de dos carreras para extender la ventaja por 9-1. Coronó el primer partido de tres bambinazos de su carrera en el noveno capítulo con un cañonazo solitario por la pradera izquierda ante el mexicano César Salazar. La hazaña marcó la primera vez que un jugador de los Dodgers se vuela la barda tres veces en un compromiso desde que Max Muncy lo lograra el 10 de abril contra los Rangers de Texas. Pagés también aportó a la defensa en el séptimo episodio, realizando una atrapada saltando en el jardín central para robarle un extrabases a Cam Smith. A sus 25 años, Pagés es el titular más joven en una alineación de los Dodgers que frecuentemente presenta a seis jugadores de 31 años o mayores. Su producción en la parte gruesa del lineup ofrece un contraste juvenil para un roster cargado de veteranos que ha lidiado con varios trechos de altibajos ofensivos esta temporada. El apoyo de más de 10 carreras brindó la amortiguación necesaria para un grupo de relevistas que navega entre varias ausencias. Con piezas clave del bullpen actualmente en la lista de lesionados, la escuadra de Los Ángeles dependió de seis relevistas diferentes para terminar el juego. Jack Dreyer, el venezolano Edgardo Henríquez, Kyle Hurt, Blake Treinen, Tanner Scott y Brock Stewart se combinaron para permitir apenas una carrera en los últimos siete innings. Esta capacidad para manejar cambios inesperados en el pitcheo es una razón primordial por la que los Dodgers permanecen en la cima del Oeste de la Liga Nacional. Mientras el equipo espera más noticias sobre la espalda de Glasnow, la capacidad de la ofensiva para armar una ventaja tempranera redujo la presión sobre un bullpen que ha sido muy exigido durante los primeros dos meses de la campaña. El manager Dave Roberts señaló antes del partido que el éxito del equipo frecuentemente comienza con el ritmo que marca el abridor, pero el miércoles se demostró que la alineación es capaz de mantener ese impulso. En una temporada donde el cuerpo de lanzadores ha enfrentado varios ajustes por lesiones, el aporte de los bates jóvenes como Pagés sigue siendo un aspecto central de la consistencia del equipo.
