Kyle Lewis hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Baltimore Orioles 5-2 Tuesday night.
Kyle Seager also homered for Seattle and hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth to give the Mariners a 2-1 lead.
Lewis, the reigning American League Rookie of the Year, followed with a homer to right-center field off Baltimore left-hander Tanner Scott. It was Lewis third homer of the season but his first with anyone on base.
Mariners right-hander Rafael Montero (3-1) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth to get the victory.

Will he ever hit again?
Where do you play him?
Those issues are on Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders manager Doug Davis’ plate.
Introducing Yankees Insider:
Batting second behind rehabbing Yankees first baseman Luke Voit, Andujar was 0-for-4 with two double-play ground balls.
“He’s going to be in the lineup every day,” Davis said. “Obviously, the guy’s got a bat that New York certainly hopes is the same bat that he had when he was second in the running for the American League Rookie of the Year. That bat could really impact that lineup.”

Luis Robert has suffered a complete tear of his hip flexor, the Chicago White Sox announced today. While a decision has not been made on treatment, the team says that at a minimum Robert will not participate in baseball activities for 12-16 weeks.
This is a big blow for a team that aggressively moved this offseason to try to win in 2021. The 22 year old center fielder had an 822 OPS this year, after finishing second in the American League Rookie of the Year balloting last year and winning a Gold Glove. The White Sox, who were somewhat lacking in outfield depth coming into 2021, lost Eloy Jimenez right before the season started with a torn pectoral tendon that is expected to sideline him for most of the season. With Robert now being out, Chicago is looking at Leury Garcia or Billy Hamilton taking over as their regular center fielder.

Royals fans are getting a taste of the future with Brady Singer and Kris Bubic reaching the big leagues and Daniel Lynch and Kyle Isbel reaching the big leagues already this year. The most anticipated debut will by Bobby Witt, Jr. which could possibly come this summer.
Lynch, who made his MLB debut this week, was ranked #21 by Baseball America, the highest rankings for a Royals pitching prospect in that publication in over a decade. Baseball America is the industry leader in evaluating prospects, and they have ranked the top 100 prospects in the game every year since 1988. I wanted to take a look back and see how Lynch and Witt stack up against some of the other highest-ranked prospects in club history.
